Korea girls trip - Autumn edition (November 2024) day 6

This was definitely the highlight of our trip, as we finally got the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and explore the natural beauty outside Seoul. We rented a car for the day, and our first stop was Petit France, about an hour’s drive from the city.

Petit France is a charming village designed to resemble a French town, complete with beautiful scenery. We arrived around 9 AM, and it was so peaceful and quiet that we had the place to ourselves, making it the perfect opportunity to take photos as if we were in the French countryside.

Next, we went to experience the rail bike, a fun activity where we rode a four-seater bike attached to rail tracks. As we cycled along, we enjoyed the vibrant autumn foliage and passed through several themed tunnels, which added to the fun.

We then boarded a scenic train, which took us through more stunning landscapes, offering panoramic views of the colorful autumn leaves. It was a relaxing and picturesque ride.

For lunch, we treated ourselves to a delicious Korean BBQ, which was a bit on the pricier side but well worth it.

Afterward, we continued our journey to Nami Island, a popular tourist spot known for its connection to the drama Winter Sonata. We arrived just in time to see the leaves in full autumn glory, with the maple trees glowing in shades of orange and gold under the sunlight. It was absolutely breathtaking.

In the evening, we returned to Myeongdong for our final dinner and some last-minute shopping before heading back to the hotel.

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 7)

This is the highlight of Cappadocia which is hot air balloon ride. As it depends a lot on the weather, we were lucky that we could fly to watch sunrise. We were picked up around 5.30am in the morning to Urgup area and arrived 20 mins later. They provided us with light breakfast while they lit up the balloon. We started riding it around 6.20am and it's so breathtaking to see the Goreme area and hundreds of balloon joining us. The sunrise is around 7am and by 7.30am we already landed safely. We had champagne celebration and received certificate too and returned back to our hotel for breakfast. Around 10am, we were picked up for Green Valley tour. Stopped by at Goreme Panorama and Pigeon valley for photo spots. After that, we went to Underground city where Anatolian people lived underground to survive from natural disaster and dangers. It's amazing how they build the houses and lived there for a long period of time. Then, we continued our tour to Selime Monastery and Cathedral w

Reflection

It's been such a long time that I sit down, press a pause button and reflect back what has happened in my life, what things I should be grateful, what are the lesson learnt and what I should improve Things have gone so fast in my life and it's like unending cycle. It's been almost 2 months since I helmed the new project in the company I am working and it took half of my life. I felt like I had a new baby but not "literally baby", it's more responsibility as many lives are on stakes. I had no experience, no mentor and coach, no team per say, only one person who's not hundred percent fully committed in this project and on top of that, the company threw me in the deep sea that I need to swim and survive. It reminded me back when I started my motherhood journey. With no knowledge, no experience, no mentor, no helpers and little money, we need to nurture the living baby and finally we survived. The first one was always the harder, but after the second and thir

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 6)

It's time for another dream destination - Cappadocia. After arriving at Athens International Airport, we miscalculated the transit time. We only gave 1.5 hours in between without realising that we needed to change the airline and domestic route so we rushed out and checked in 25 minutes before the flight departed. Thanks God, we were still allowed for checking in. After settling in Turkish airlines, we were provided with warm baguette and drinks which could calm ourselves and our seat was next to emergency door so we got leg room. We arrived at Cappadocia airport which was very small and reminded me on my hometown's airport in the old days. Then we were picked up by airport transfer to our cave hotel - Panoramic cave hotel. The journey to the hotel was amazing, we saw many natural chimneys that we never saw before. Arriving in the hotel, we checked in to our pigeon nest room which was chimney suite and never stop took pictures of the room and the scenery surrounding. In the lat
