Year 2010 Christmas Trip - Seoul (Part 3)

Believe it or not? I was so excited about this trip and truly enjoying myself until I totally forgot to update this journal. These two days hubby and have been experiencing a lot of fantastic thing that we don't get to in Brunei. On the night of 27/12/2010, hubby and I felt the very first time playing in the snow. We were shopping at Dongdaemun, and halfway through it, as we were entering one shopping mall, the snow started to land softly on our face then our hands... Our coats and eventually all over us. Hubby and I were like little kids, running and trying to catch that tiny softness that felt like nothing at all! The snow got heavier as we were playing, the roads that once black and dark suddenly turned all glistening white, everywhere was white and cold... People running trying to avoid the snow, because it was really heavy. The temperature that night reached a freezing of at lease 15 degree celcius! The feeling of having that little white softness stopped and melted on our face are something that can't be described by words... This is a longing since childhood for hubby and I.... Finally, it came true!

I have to admit that this trip is rather draining, as we do a lot of walking around. Most Bruneian would agree with me that in our country, we usually move around in a car, the idea of walking that one kilometere is killing. These few days I have walked miles and miles, but good thing is, I don't feel hot or sweaty at all... How wonderful is it to live in a cold country like Seoul! Last night, Hubby and I went to Myeongdong, it was a large area where we spent hours shopping and looking around. The roads were filled with snow and because of the low temperature, now has turned on to ice and formed this icy slippery surface that make us quite hard to balance ourselves when walking. I fell down once when shopping in Myeongdong, it was very painful, but thank goodness no one know me there, so can totally cut the embarrassment! Haha!

Hubby is a little under the whether since reached Seoul. The left side of his cheek is swollen... We went to the Pharmacy to bought some medicine, the thing is, all of the labels are printed in Korean! How on earth are we going to understand? Hence we think better to see a doctor, yesterday morning we went to Beseto clinic to let a dentist checked on hubby, dentist claimed that very likely due to the bad cavity that's why hubby's face is swelling. He prescribed some antibiotics to Hubby... Hubby has been taking it since yesterday, but we are yet to see major improvement, hopefully he will be better soon so that he can be like me, enjoying himself too during this trip. Till then...
