SECOND DAY at KOREA
The day before going to Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm, our Korea tour guide told us that "Tomorrow will be colder than today. So please wear thicker attires to keep yourself warm." We wore something casual and easy on our first day. The superior main idea is, we actually bring attires that are mostly can be wear on normal colder days in Malaysia.
I guess, YouTube gives me the wrong idea... I have watched several videos showing that the location of Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm is a place you can see flocks of sheep running around the green pasture (Just learnt a new word from mum.) Windmill and beds of colourful plants (sunflowers or lavenders) over the fences. Literally, I expect that it would be spring season during our trip. Kinda excited to feed them and stroke their furs. Take good shots.
On the bus after taking breakfast buffet, the Korea tour guide told us that the journey to Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm will take around an hour. It's sort of on the boring side. It's more like going to somewhere kampung places. Old houses and trees in brown colour. Crossing tunnels for a numerous time. Everyone is quiet and sleepy.
At first, I was continued to write down yesterday's happenings since we slept early last night. Bumpy condition inside the bus, which doesn't really allows me to write nicely on my travel book. Sometimes, I played Sudoku on my phone to kill my boring time on bus. Gradually getting tired, sleepy, and fatigue. I have of no choice but to drown into a good sleep, leaning on the glass window for cool sensation. (Since it's cold on the outside, the bus driver turns off the air-conditioner. I think he turns on the warmer instead.)
"What was that on the floor? Why is it covered with white surface?" I got no one to ask. Everyone is still soundly sleeping. Note that I just wake up in confusion of what's on earth is going on at here.
Mum wakes up, and she looks at the view. She wakes my dad, and she told him that it's the snow. Something that happened beyond expectation.
Reaching the destination... excitement raising even higher. It's snowing. Whom would each one of us believe that we're actually experiencing winter at Korea? Not even me, because the given itinerary has mentioned that we are supposed to bring winter attires (Long-John? Never heard about it before... I even laugh on its name.) But I decided to ignore the given facts, and pack ordinary printed T-shirts with shorts to prepare myself for spring-summer types of weather. Dad however queries the weather in Korea which it wouldn't be as cold as typical English countries (that he has experienced before).
With surprise, the place is actually located at Pyeongchang. Experiencing winter season almost half a year, from November to May. Try to calculate this: The month of March is directly the borderline, which is the peak of coldness to be experienced. HAHAHAH AIN'T NO JOKE RIGHT NOW! IT'S -5°C. [PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games...recently held from 9th to 25th February 2018. Will talk more about it on upcoming post/s.]
Directly after touching down from Kota Kinabalu to Korea, we directly went to Nami Island. I only wear a printed collarless T-shirt, a tracksuit, and luckily, a pair of sport shoes. But this time, I wear 4 layers of tops (starting with a collarless T-shirt, following with a collared T-shirt, a jacket, and the last one is a jacket with hood) But still, I feel cold until I almost shiver all the time. You can see us wearing something irrelevant with the weather since we're clueless to be in this 'cold' condition.
Photo taking before entering the farm... No more green pasture.
Note that some photos aren't really portray similarly as the actual places.
First, some photos are edited in terms of brightness, contrast, colours etc.
Second, our cameras are not canggih-canggih one; and
Lastly, we don't know how to take beautiful photo.
And so, here we are... on our long Long LONG way to the farm.
Mum fixing her scarf. I like this shot. 是我拍的~
Dad holding his hockey stick.
I even make my selfie stick as a crutch. But kena scolded.
Someone wears way thicker than us.
*She's one of our tour members*
Mum is photogenic or the photo capture at the right time?
E eh... terselfie lahh pulak AHAHAHAH
After a long walk, we found these sheep.
But still, no more windmill and beds of colourful plants.
Here I am, asking weird question. Which pair the photos of sheep is cuter?
The left side or the right side?
(Please leave your answer on the comment section to get my attention...)
Finish feeding them... heading to a shop and rehat-rehat before going up the Sky Ranch tractor. But my family likes to take photos very much. How can we leave this precious cool snow experiences without enjoying it? Jalan-jalan sekejap, ambil gambar. Nampak pemandangan yang cantik & indah, tangkap gambar. How beautiful every edges of the world can be.
Sister bought a pair of gloves. Mum bought this without knowing what it actually is.
플레인 요거트 = Plain Yoghurt
It's said to be the 1st Best Seller.
It's said to be the 1st Best Seller.
Mum asked me to take photo of that cleaner who is swiping off the ice on the floor.
Yeah, it's not visible but that's the intention.
Sister is taking photo — shows the tractor that we will be riding after rehat-rehat.
It's somehow a waste on the photo above. So, I cropped my sister's face and edit it brighter.
Left : Increased backlight and patching up colours on her forehead.
Right : Merely increased the backlight only.Q : Which one is better though? Left side or right side? (Comment down below... I'm such a boring person hahah~)
"Dad is lucky... to have this photo taken."
And so, here we're taking the tractor going up... to see even beautiful snow scenery (I guess?)
Together with Mandarin-listener tourists, one Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm tour guider and one tour guider interprets it to Chinese.
Horse photo — taken a photo of it inside the tractor.
No one wants to go out the tractor for this.
Going up the top of the mountain...
This is a spot where my dad almost fell down.
He thought every surface of the floor can be walked.
[There is one part that has longkang, or drain filled with snow ~ That's what I meant...]
I think... the answer is : She's a photogenic.
She puts well-efforts in her pose to get great photos.
Top : I look so fake in this photo. Tbh, I feel comfortable to not wearing the hood. As I said, "I prefer cold over hot temperature."
Into the warm place.
Fyi, My sister had done a great job in video shoots and editing.
