Petite France (Revisited)

 

not that I wanted to. NOPE. It's just that I got to take my relatives (tante and budhe^^) who happened to be visiting Korea. well....as what tourists do....this place has recently been one of the must-visit places for those who's fallen into the "trap" of Korean dramas.^^ 

Ok...again..these miniatures displayed in all houses were captivating as always. 

the glass managerie... 

the porcelain dolls... 

the all France-related knick-knack.... 

from inside one of the houses..I could see people were enjoying the outdoor performance..which none other than (again, unchanged) pantomime show.!! 

up ..walked up the hill...another view from above.

Nami Island....: first pictures...

A 4-Family Trip to Nami Island

Eyra and I took the bus to Cheongnyangnyi station since we got to buy the ticket first.

As for the ladies....(gee..I'm the only man who went with all of them). 

See? my wife's sisters (tante Yuni and budhe Ning) and our colleague, Ms. Park Hyun Ju--who came all the way from Daejon to join us)--and ms Belina and her Mom who happened to be in Seoul to have a visit to their relatives. 

Waiting for the ITX train that would take us to Gapyeong Station (the nearest train station to Nami Island).

It's October. Autumn. ...a good reason to go (again) to Nami island. 

On board the ITX Train.^^ 

It's so fully crowded that...some passengers were just standing or sitting on the aisle. 

After we arrived at Gapyeong, we took a queue before boarding the Gapyeong City Tour Bus..which is the CHEAPEST and EASIEST way of enjoying one-day tour along the famous sites (Nami Island, Petite France, and Garden of the Morning Calm)--which happened to be our itinerary for our 2-day trip. 

Put a smile and let's enjoy the day... 

With only 5,000 Won/adult, we enjoyed the hop-on-hop-off bus.... 

Then..a few minutes later..we're on board the ferry taking us to Nami Island.

Park ssnm.....with Eyra and Freya.

Autumn 2014 @ Nami Island ^^ again!!!

Finally my wife's sisters are here in Korea. They really want to go here during Autumn.

and..now they are here.

The most beautiful season ...I think.

the colorful life....we let ourselves absorbed into.

The indescribably clear blue skies.

Yellow gold trodden leaves...

Or...this majestically unbelievable colors!!!
