Thanks Shannon for buying me a lipbalm cause my lip started to crack on the last few days in Korea.
Interesting!!! Some of my friends said it was obscene... LOL....
Look what I won from a game at the Paldo Instant Noodle Event at Swanghwamun Square!
Had our lunch at this Korean Restaurant.
Had my delicious nutritious Chicken Ginseng Soup (14, 000 won) for lunch!
There's glutinous rice inside the chicken.
Threw a coin and made a wish at the wishing pond.

Got the ticket to catch Bibap, a non-verbal performance (VIP seat: 60000 won).
My 1st time watching it and I really love watching it and strongly encourage all my friends to go watch it!
Introduction
Bibap is a nonverbal performance based on the Korean representative dish, bibimbap (rice mixed with vegetables and beef). As a nonverbal performance, the actors mimic the sound of making bibimbap with beat-boxing and a cappella, demonstration of motions through b-boying, and acrobatics and martial arts. Since its debut in 2009, Bibap has been staged and well-received at food conferences as well as global venues like the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Today, it is heralded as the pioneer of a new culture code, Eatertainment, the combination of eating and entertainment. Get a taste of this innovative and dynamic performance at Cine Core now!
Synopsis
The bibimbap performance takes place in a kitchen, where chefs make a variety of dishes as orders come in. They happily prepare Chinese, Japanese and Italian dishes. Finally, when the kitchen receives an order of 'the best bibimbap,' the two rival sous chefs compete in a bibimbap cook-off. Their dishes are judged by a randomly selected audience member, who then determines which chef stays in the kitchen to carry on the legacy of making the best bibimbap.

After the show, we had a photography session with the casts.
Took train to Insadong and Jogyesa Temple to view Yeon Deung Hoe: Lotus Lantern Festival 2013.
It was coincidence that the week when I was at Korea, they are having this festival too! So nice!!!
It is a bit like Singapore Lantern Festival too. But I like their parade, a bit like Chingay in Singapore.
Yeon Deung Hoe Lotus Lantern Festival
The Yeon Deung Hoe Lotus Lantern Festival is a modern-day annual
tradition that offers visitors the chance to experience Buddhist culture
that has been celebrated for more than a thousand years on the
peninsula. The main event of the festival is the Lantern Parade, during
which more than 100,000 brightly-colored illuminated lanterns and
lantern floats in various shapes flood the streets of downtown Seoul.
Other programs include an exhibition of breathtaking traditional Buddhist lanterns and various performances including Korean folk music performances, dance performances as well as traditional Buddhist dance performances. However, the festival favorite is the Buddhist Street Festival, an event where participants get to experience Buddhist culture firsthand. Participants can make lotus lanterns, get their faces painted, create Buddhist art, try temple food and play folk games. Festival goers do not only get to experience the Buddhist cultures of Korea, but the Buddhist cultures of Thailand, Taiwan, Myanmar, Tibet and Mongolia as well.
