Our Seoul Adventure (Part 1)

Gosh life has been non-stop since coming back from Seoul.  Work has been very busy, and then Izzy had stomach flu and I was a bit under the weather too.  With this, one month just zoomed passed. Been meaning to continue our Seoul adventure. Day One To be honest we had a rocky start on the first day.  Our 2am flight was delayed till 3am and we were super groggy when we got on the plane.  Kids were sleeping and we had to wake them up.  The stewardess served us food at 4am and we had no appetite whatsoever.  Made worse by the turbulence which scared us so much.  I think in total we each slept about 4h that night.  So thankful that our kids love traveling and did not whine, but i did feel like i floated out of that plane into Incheon airport.  My original plan for Day One was to explore the palace area, have the famous ginseng chicken soup, and then visit the Bukchon hanok village.  Followed by a nice Korean BBQ for dinner.  The mo...

Hello Seoul!

We just did a weeklong trip to Seoul, South Korea!  This would be our third big family trip since moving back to Singapore, and we had such an enjoyable time that I know we will be back!  I booked this trip relatively late, about 5 weeks before our travel dates.  Izzy had one week of half term break and it so happens that K's birthday is during that week too, hence I was determined for us to have a memorable family trip.  After some chats with friends, I was convinced that we should check Seoul out, although K was still rather skeptical.  He insisted that he would prefer Japan even though he hasn't set foot on South Korea.. (sorry South Korea!).  Nonetheless he agreed and I went on about planning the trip.  He was really busy with his work, and I had friends and colleagues who could give valuable recommendations so from there I started my meticulous planning.  To the point where the day before we flew out, K told me that he has no clue what I had ...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
