Korea 2019 - Day 4: Petite France 쁘띠프랑스, Nami Island 남이섬, Gangchon Rail Park 강촌 레일파크 & Seoul Station 서울역

Welcome to Day 4 of our Korea special. Be prepared for a special treat as today we will be exploring the majestic side of Korea. The wide open spaces and beautiful landscape that serves as a much needed reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Seoul city. Das right i'm talking about Lotte Mart, the epic supermarket that is the stuff of wet dreams. Alley upon alley of snacks, instant noodles and sanitary pads. I can already feel little jiesheng responding in excitement below just reminiscing about it.

But first, we begin in the wee hours of the morning, preparing for our day trip to Nami Island. The house felt like a scene out of a zombie movie while we laboured to catch our Bus to Chuncheon.


Amazing that we are ahead of schedule for once. Even 太阳公公 was still snoozing his alarm when we left the apartment. So glad to have avoided running like dog and begging the bus driver to let us onboard.


We had ample time before our bus arrived so we were rewarded for our punctuality with Isaac Toast for breakfast. Not gonna lie we had aimed this sandwich stall every single day we walked past it.

The sandwich was good until i tasted the white, semen-like sweet sauce. People who enjoy combining sweet and savoury foods, like Mcgriddles, are psychopaths and should be locked away for the sake of humanity.


We knocked out as soon as we boarded the bus and 2 hours later, we arrived at our first stop, Petite France.

It wasn't in our intention to visit 小 France, a place designed to attract camwhores and instagrammers. But since it was included in the Klook package, might as well take a look at what's the hype all about.

This is a replica of a French village made famous by Korean variety shows like Running Man. No name tags for us to tear off, so we tried to find chio bus to snipe. This was the best we got.

Not to be defensive, but excuse me what are you trying to imply with your fucking sculpture?


Besides small dicks, there are lots of creepy clown puppets around. Would not be fun to be stuck in the park at night and these things start moving.


The only clown here is me for falling for you..

After Ck was done cosplaying a clown, he went to cosplay as a puppet. Is it you want to go back to being played boy?

Tsk ask him come gai gai he can only dream of Casey. Hello dasao i know you got read this blog so i went to stalk your instagram and steal your profile pic hope u don't mind.


Since we've never met i hope i cropped out the correct girl. 50-50 chance but won't so suay la should be correct.

Hopefully this path leads to North Korea so i can find a handsome soldier to crash land onto me.

At least the sights here ain't too bad. Lose Mt. Fuji about 1000 times only.

While Jh and Kl continued climbing the wooden bridge to nowhere, some fangirl stopped us to take a picture with her but cb she focus her own face and leave us blur blur. Ok enough of this place, leggo next stop.


Yes, we are heading to Nami Island, but why go in a boring ol' ferry?

Taking a zipline into the island was cool. I mean it literally as the cold wind ate through our unprotected faces as we glided over the river. My face got so numb i think i couldn't change my expressions for an hour after the experience.

At $50, it's a pretty fair price to feel like James Bond for a few minutes. You won't be missing out on anything amazing by choosing the ferry, but i'll judge you as a hum ji faggot that's all.


A China film crew were waiting for their host to fly down after us so our faces may potentially be on some Chinese travel programme. Looking forward to 爆红 in Wuhan.


Nami island really is a place of randomness. Like they didn't know how else to make this place interesting so they planted a few ostriches just for lulz.


What's more random is a little metta looking merlion fountain next to them. 这是鱼尾猫吗?


The most well known attraction here is definitely the iconic row of trees, made famous by the OG kdrama Winter Sonata. I had to wait for what seemed like 6 years to snap a proper picture without any tourists.

Have you ever lost control of your senses and just did something out of pure instinct? That's what happened here when Ck ran into my heart.

I am already having a hard time convincing people that we are not actually a bunch of gays and pictures/videos like these are not helping. 

A couple of ladies joined us in savouring the heat from the campfire while keeping a safe distance from the wolf of Techlink. Smart.

There were also some ice sculptures on display with very lupsup, wet snow. Somehow this just feels like a ghetto version of Hokkaido.


Our resident couple Jl and Reagan displaying their affection levels for each other.

Attempted to seduce a peacock into opening its feathers because i read that they open them up when horny. Rejected by a fucking bird that's probably the lowest point of my life so far.


Don't you try to bluff me with your fake iceberg, the weather was not even close to freezing.


Flew in like a boss but went back to mainland the normal way via a short ferry ride.


The bungee jump that we planned to try, but didn't have the time for. On hindsight, it was fortunate because i didn't bring an extra pair of pants to change my would-be shit stained jeans.


Instead of testing our karma by jumping off a platform and betting our lives on the integrity of a rope, we had lunch at one of the many chicken restaurants around.


I'm a simple man... I see meat and charcoal and Yc, i get moist.


Not sure if it was because this was our first proper meal of the day, but the chicken was SO GOOD. I cannot recall a chicken dish being so mindblowing in recent memory. 鸡鸡真好吃,我爱吃鸡鸡!


The famed dish of Chuncheon region is dakgalbi, a spicy stir fried chicken dish with cabbages and sweet potatoes. D+ for effort but it was thoroughly outshined by its barbecued counterpart.


After a very satisfying meal, the bus took us to our final destination, Gangchon Rail Park for some exercise to work off all that chicken.


Unfortunately, Jl was not used to having this kind of 鸡鸡 and felt nauseous so Reagan accompanied her to buy a pregnancy test kit and skipped the rail bike activity. With the thoughts of our dear friends in mind, we will make this sound as uninteresting as possible so that they won't feel missed out.


You can clearly see the disappointment on our faces and sense the lack of enthusiasm with the sudden loss of our ching gus.

I don't make many bad decisions in life, but one of them is choosing the rail bike in front of our fellow friends. Look at these crazy fucks chasing us down and trying to get all of us killed.


Oh well, since we are all dying, might as well take down the people ahead with us.

What happens in the love tunnel stays in the love tunnel. You know what we did in that 1 and a half mins Ck. 我是你的人了.

And once outside the tunnel, we were greeted by a lovely riverscape. Too bad we didn't get to see too much of it as we were busy cleaning up all that cum.

Accidentally cycled into Zouk, anticipating for the inevitable horny NSFs to grind us.
"WARNING: This video may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised."


Upon reaching the terminus, we got to rest our legs for a bit. Not that it was strenuous since everyone peddled slowly to take in the scenery apart from some young punks trying to bang other people machiam bumper car.

Tempted to climb up and slide down this frozen waterfall but quite sure my insurance doesn't cover stupidity.


Let's settle for buying a drink and chilling by the river then.

4 years on and the way we take pictures still the same pattern. Sit down diao mountain drink beverage like some advertisement. 

But last time only got money drink milk now production value increase can afford extra onigiri.

From the rest stop, we took an open top train ride to the pickup point where Reagan and a slightly recovered Jl were waiting to collect us.


And that was the end of our short day trip northeast of Seoul. The serene countryside was a nice break from the city and all those fucking cosmetic shops, but its goodbye for now.


For the remainder of the day, we decided to explore Seoul station which is the transport hub of Seoul. It is also home to the glorious Lotte Mart, which is the largest of its chains in the city.

Before the exciting supermarket excursion, we had dinner at some Chinese restaurant to refuel our energy levels. After all, such a magical place deserves us to be at nothing less than our 100%.

We had Chinese food not because we were sick of Korean, but because we specifically wanted to try authentic Korean jajangmyeon. Their version of the noodle dish has a thick and dark sauce, totally different from the ah tiong 炸酱面 sold in Din Tai Fung.

The noodles were nice and springy, but sadly the sauce was lacking in flavour. I've had much better versions in SG.

No idea why Jl would order something that looks like what she vomited out earlier.

I still find it amazing that sweet and sour pork aka 咕噜肉 is sold as a premium dish in Korea. This tiny plate was more than $20 wtf. Koreans are going to be mindblown that their tangsuyuk is sold as one of the meat options in our $3 cai fan.


We also ordered jjampong to share despite already trying it before at the dumpling shop. Nothing notable about it except being super spicy.

It was a meh meal, but it could not dampen our spirits and we were still eager for what's to come.

*Shudders in orgasmic spasms* This is probably what the gates of heaven looks like. Which reminds me...

KPOP SONG OF THE DAY
Fun fact: I can sing this song in Korean without knowing what any of the words mean.

Don't know about you but i'm so ready to respect the shit out of this supermarket.


We got tons of snacks and souvenirs on the cheap here. Looking for choco pies, yakult jellies or 20 different brands of seaweed? They have it all housed under one roof.


Tbh there was nothing much in Seoul station besides the Lotte Mart so we returned to Myeongdong after some intense shopping. The 马子狗s continued their cosmetics hunt to appease their women back home. At this point i'm wondering if their gfs eat lipsticks and blushers for breakfast.


As for the 单身狗s, we attempted to bury our loneliness with more food. Ck opted for a hearty sundubu jjigae aka soft tofu stew to represent his fragile heart.


Kept to my promise of being unbiased towards Korean cuisine and ordered a bibimbap. Assorted vegetables, marbled beef strips and egg yolk over rice in a sizzling stone pot.

That is some good ASMR shit. And it tastes even better, like a Korean version of beef pepper rice.


I used to hate bibimbap because of the shitty vegetables and red pepper sauce. Happy that i didn't give in to my prejudice and was rewarded with one of the most memorable meals in Korea. So good that i still think about it occasionally like my ex.

Walao ask him eat supper he k.o and dream about his gf again. Just in case i chose the wrong face earlier, this time i chose the other face so confirm at least got 1 correct. Hais the burden of having such a brilliant mind takes its toll on me sometimes.

It was past midnight by the time we were done with supper. A long ass day which ended off on a high note. But some how i had an uneasy feeling about the following day... Something about going to cafe and reading books... Something..hairy?..

- End of Day 4 -
