My Trip to Korea 2018 : Hanwha Resort Seorak Sorano


Date of Stay : 19th - 21st March 2018 (Monday-Wednesday)


We stayed at Hanwha Resort Seorak Sorano for 3D2N. It's located at Gangwon Province, a mountainous, forested province in northeast South Korea.

Here we are... reaching the destination for our stay place.




Excited to take photos after having butt-pain taking long rides inside bus...



On Tuesday after eating our dinner, we were sent early back to the hotel (because Herb Island wasn't open on that day. So, things get early and ready-ing ourselves for our upcoming journeys).

Finally, it's time for us to appreciate and to observe the beauty の exterior resort building we stayed.


The next two photos are directly opposite to the main entrance. ]




We were given 2 rooms, both with double bed. The rooms are almost identical [Of course lahh, what am I talking?] So this is so-called, my room tour at Hanwha Resort Seorak Sorano.



The do-anything place. We eat supper here.
Maggi cups, instant porridge, ice creams, Castella cheese cake, homemade sandwiches are all eaten here since most of the time we're not at the room.


The typical bed place.
We actually didn't sleep at this bed, because there was no fan or aircond.
Not to say it's hot or we didn't make used to it, but the Korea tour guide told us that to ventilate the room, you gotta open a little gap of the door with net (the mosquito net?) to let air comes in.
But the air was too chilly, since it's windy days.


As usual, the TV was in front the bed.
You can watch TV programs from local news, products advertisements to local Korean-drama throughout the day till night.


Toilet. Or in Korean: 화장실
The toilet bowl has special features that rarely to be seen in Malaysia : 
⇢ Rinse + Dry your ass.
⇢ Turn the bowl seat to warm temperature.

The telephone has morning call, which almost acts as an alarm clock.
The Korea tour guide did request the staffs to make the call early at 6:00am for preparing ourselves to take breakfast.
Another special feature explored.


We slept at almost-to-say a store room with ondol feature on our stay.
Ondol in Korean traditional architecture, is underfloor heating that uses direct heat transfer from wood smoke to heat the underside of a thick masonry floor.


On Tuesday after dinner, we almost have no chance to jalan-jalan inside the resort. We went back to the hotel room and put down our things. 

My mum said : She's tired already, lazy to go out and walk. Need to pack things before switching to another hotel room tomorrow. We need to sleep early because we had insufficient of sleep... Throwing tantrum on not achieve something is my thing. [Travel experiences especially, throwback the times we went to Kuching, Sarawak... I insisted and win everyone's hearts to take a boat and cross over the river to enter Fort Margherita. 难得来到这里又懒惰去散步做么?]

Our journey exploring the resort keeps running...


We bought the blue and red boxes.
It's soft, sweet and delicious. I'm in love with it.
There are wide-variety choices of flavours in the two boxes.
Pandan, chocolate, red-bean... It makes me feel hungry (the sikit-sikit type of hungry) while drafting this post to let me taking a break for supper time.



The second day of drafting....



This is the place we had our two times of breakfast buffet.
I LOVE BREAKFAST BUFFET !!!
It's like you have no limit restriction of food intake.
You can eat all you might, as long your tummy can fit in.


We discovered a room called : Atelier 閑  at lobby floor.
Totally got no idea what's the room since we don't even understand the two big words showed on the entrance. 
There is not even a person who takes care of the place, so we just enter the room to find answer for our curiosity souls.




New words of the day : Just make my research after months of leaving Korea already HAHAH~


Atelier : An atelier (French: [atəlje]) is the private workshop or studio of a professional artist in the fine or decorative arts, where a principal master and a number of assistants, students, and apprentices can work together producing pieces of fine art or visual art released under the master's name or supervision.

閑 to stay idle • to be unoccupied • not busy • leisure • enclosure  Typing out this word takes a big effort though~ ]






Something I can relate as for now... quite interesting...
Not to forget, ambil gambar lahhh~ What some more can do during the holidays?
*wink*


Random thought

I somehow wish I could become a freelance model. You just need to get ready yourself to be captured, equip yourself with photogenic skills in front the camera, and BAM ! You got your pay for it. Easy, no stress. [I think so... Harsh reality I don't want to think...

 


Dad taking photo behind the ever-changing patterns on the large white screen.

After playing for so long with the fancy screen, we just realised that on top the white screen, there's a device which detects our face and it will display on the white screen. The device also follows our body movements to see swivel irregular shapes shown on the screen. Something new to explore. Thankfully, there's no one enter the room during our visit. We RULED THE ROOM!





Directly turned into 20-30 years younger than they're after happily playing with something technology.



Going out the room and explore the hidden sides of resort before going back to hotel room...




Went to CU Later Family Mart / CVS for You, a convenience store inside the resort to buy some eateries and... drinkies... //index fingers pointing each other.

Along our way, we found Pororo inside the convenience store...

...and another Pororo sitting near to the game rooms.
There're even karaoke rooms... 
[ Okay, I don't know how to end my blogpost... So yeah, this is my ending. ]
