Last picture of the plantation before we leave


04:14 PM : So after that we had a hands-on activity where we used the straw to make into a braided bracelet or crown, depending how big you have made.

Seeing the farmer do it seems easy, but when you do it by yourself, it's harder than you think it is! Thanks to the farmer's help, I managed to make a braided bracelet for myself. ๐Ÿ˜‚



04:34 PM : Off to the final destination!! But first let's have some rest ๐Ÿ˜Œ



05:44 PM : Reached the final destination where we can do a little bit of shopping!!


Well, because this lao ban wanted me to buy the charcoal mask at the Innisfree in Korea, but sadly they do not sell it. Luckily Olive Young sells it. But I'm not sure if this lao ban is still using that anot ๐Ÿ™„


We stayed here for a while because it's warm inside here and outside is freezing cold. ๐Ÿ˜–


05:54 PM : After that we headed to Daiso, where they sold really cute things ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Bought a few socks there hehehe


06:14 PM : I'm not kidding the weather is no joke....


06:25 PM : We went to the underground place where there are lots of shops and we found a shop that sells very cute and cheap socks!! ๐Ÿ˜™

Hello selfie again HAHAHA ๐Ÿ˜›


09:02 PM : Omg i still remember this very vividly in my head HAHAHA. As I was the first one to take a shower, I had difficulties trying to turn on the shower tap. I ended up taking the shower tap out and yup, that really happened. So my parents asked the tour guide for help, so they sent a repairing man to help out. SO... apparently I turned on the shower tap the wrong way HAHAHAHA (clumsy blur me as usual) but yeah, everything's settled and I let my dad shower first because I scared I spoil the shower tap again HAHAHAA. Okay, end of story. ๐Ÿ˜‚



I'll end day 5 blog post with a group picture taken at the Bulguksa Temple.๐Ÿ˜Š

 To be honest, day 5's journey was a very eye-opening and insightful one indeed. I've got to explore and be exposed to the nature of Daegu, and it's really amazing!! I'm looking forward to sharing with you guys day 6 in Korea as we are visiting somewhere that I've been anticipated to go to since the start of this trip. See you guys in the day 6 of my travel blog. ๐Ÿ‘‹

Take care~~

~Geraldine (:
