Last weekend, me and Paul went to the Apple festival with Adventure Korea. If you are thinking of booking a trip outside Seoul, I would recommend them. They are much much better than WINK! And more friendly too!

We boarded the coach at 7.30am!! This was the worst part! Getting up early on a Saturday :(. The journey there took longer than expected because of traffic. We finally arrived at our first stop at 11.30am. Our first stop was Sudeoksa temple, which we were told is famous for its beauty. I thought the restaurants and streets outside the temple were actually better than the temple itself. There were little old traditional restaurants lining the street up to the temple. Paul had his lunch at one and the food look really delicious. It was all traditional of course. But there was cooked spicy ginseng, which was really tasty. I had my tuna roll haha.
The temple itself was nice but busy as there were loads of coaches full of adjummas there. I think they were stopping there on the way to somewhere, just as we had done. But, the leaves had changed colour so I got some nice pictures.

After the temple we went straight to the apple festival which was close to the temple but it the middle of no-where. It wasn't as big as we expected. In fact it was tiny. People complained as the jam making was just boiling some jam then putting it in a jar. We made an apple pie but it was pre-made pastry. But what did we expect for 3000won.
There was also free apple beer, wine etc. I don't drink but I ate loads of stuff haha. Me and Paul shared a giant plate of pork and apples for 10,000won. I wanted to try the apple picking but it was 2000won for EACH apple! Apples only cost 1000won in Seoul and the taste was the same. They are also saving money on labor and fuel!
It was a good day but 4 hours was a bit long to be stuck at a small festival like that. Plus, if I have to listen to Gangnam style one more time, I may kill........
