Not-So-Spring Korea Trip : The last of Korea

We woke up really early in the morning. Shower and getting ready. Aiman and Alim brought the luggage and bags downstairs while me and mother cleaning up the apartment for the up-tenth time. So but no sad, that was the feeling that morning.

At 4.30am shart, the taxi driver arrived at the apartment arranging us and the bags in the van was another story. And finally we managed to be on the road to Incheon Airport by 5.15am. The journey was smooth and it took 1 1/2 hours.

This is the taxi driver that took us back to the airport. The same ahjusshi that brought us from the airport to HUFS 8 days before that.

Checking in was smooth even though there was a bit of problem. The lady at the counter found out that mother's working visa expired 2 days before that. Even mother did not realised that. So me and mother went to the immigration office to cancel the visa and handover back the alien card (the card produced to working foreigner in Korea). In the mean time Aiman settled checking in the bags and luggage.

We had to take pictures of the luggage and bags as we were afraid that we might miss any one of them.

Lana was asleep during the whole process since she does not feel very well.

We had no problem at the checking in counter (such as overweight bags and so on) since we brought the luggage weight scale and carefully weigh and add up all bags and luggage the night before, according to our purchased total luggage weight. Actually we had to add more luggage weight since the initial weight was less than the total that we were bringing in. I settled that the night before as well. 

Settle with the whole checking in process, we proceeded straight away to the security check and immigration check. Since I had an experience of how long these processes will take, I was very sure that we had ample time for the whole thing. 

I was right, and we managed to spend some time shopping at the duty free shops. Mum bought her favorite perfume and I bought a skin care product ordered by a friend. Aiman and Miza went for tax refund.Then we straight away went on the train that took us to the departure gate. 

The flight took 5 hours 50 minutes to reach LCCT. Mamat and Maisarah picked us up at the airport. Went back to the house. 

Unpacking was a MESS. But we managed it after 1 week, before the house went upside-down again for major refurbishment. 

Korea was great. Will definitely go there again. To visit Alim when he go there for his study maybe?

Not-So-Spring Korea Trip : HUFS, Lunch at E-Mart & Everland, Yongin

Early in the morning, Mother and me went to the main building of HUFS to settle off Mother's work stuff. Well, it was the last walk around HUFS for mother and maybe for me too since we don't know if we are coming back here to HUFS or even korea again.

We took pictures around the campus. But we can't be bothered to do up the hill and mountain to the other side of the campus.

Settled everything, we walked back down to the apartment, picked up the rest and walked down to Mohyeon to catch bus to Gwangju.

 We had our lunch at E-mart. Again ordering the food by showing the clerk the picture of the food. As usual the dwenjang jiggae ahjumma was really nice to us.

Then, off we go to Everland... This would be the third time for Alim and Mother, second time for me.

It was getting colder and colder by the end of the day. We took a bus ride down to the bus station, then we took a taxi back to HUFS. All of us was fit into a taxi. I mean, car taxi. How? I can't imagine. But we managed to be back home safely.

Then we finish off packing everything, throwing away things that we don't want to bring back home to Malaysia. And, we added 2 more boxes into our whole luggage and bags. It was like wanting to bring the whole lot of Korea back to Malaysia.
