I made sure I fueled energized my tummy with lotsa food next morning. I had to. Remember, I skipped dinner the previous night, moreover, my last meal was at 2.00pm (Pyeongchang/Yongjin)?Right. Actually, I could have, if I wanted to, call for room service, then again, what for? Korean food is already up my throat. Enough. Thankfully, instead of the usual hotel buffet, we had breakfast in one of the unknown restaurants. Self service, comparatively an appetizing meal, pumpkin porridge and spinach porridge, eaten alongside Kimchi soup and condiments. But, eating in the messy dining area, after the big groups of tourists have left, simultaneously, while the staff were massively sulking, as if earthquake is gonna strike soon, didn't go down well with us. Did we have a choice? I guess not. I of course was irritated. I still ate because my hunger throne was my only concern.

Melaka - Jonker Walk (Part 3)
Inconclusive. Our walking mission from one corner of Jonker Walk to the other for another overnight stay (Melaka Jonker Walk Part 2) didn't get us anywhere. Unfortunately. We did in fact, viewed quite a number of home stays, some of it highly recommended in online travelling platforms (Melaka Jonker Walk Part 1 & Portuguese Settlement). However, despite almost two hours of walking, at the same time popping in and our of the home stays, we concluded that its such a waste to our time. All we ended up with was not only sweat dripping, our legs too almost ripped, fell apart. Still, mission was not halted, who knows we may discover a home stay we will be pleased with, at this juncture, to wind down our momentum and for a cool burst down our dry throat and tongue, we unanimously we agreed for Melaka Cendol and Melaka Ice Kacang in Jonker 88. Absolutely. Melaka dessert game on.

Pyeonchang - (Mount Sorak/Jeongdongjin/Daegwallyeong) - Korea Day 5
Tour guides can
make or break your holiday. They sure can. They can either make your travel-gram memorable or ruin it all. But, for those of you who opt for
traveling by your own back bone, you don’t have to give a damn on towering
guides. Really, you don’t have to. Women
like me on the other hand, I know I have a choice, whether I like it all in a
tour or not, that’s beside the point. I still prefer tour travelling. Call me an orthodox traveler if you want, I am least bothered, a safe bet for me is an
all planned and all paid for tour. Basically, everything is cared for, and mind you, I am a solo tour traveler. The only thing, that too not a major thing, is "sleeping alone" (ahem!). Actually, come to think of it, I can sleep with someone else, let's name it same-sex or different sex "tour travel", that by the way is not why I travel alone. My fear of sleeping alone is mainly because I am not a spooky friendly person, albeit I am on my own for days when my other half-half travels for work.

Melaka - Jonker Walk (Part 1)
Not many friends
can be your great, maybe not even accommodating travel companions. Why go so
far, sometimes, even our love broadest band width can also be tested when we travel together. I personally know of courting couples who broke up after their first love travel
because something snapped somewhere. Anyway,
nothing is shocking anymore. Love is fragile, relationship is equally a turmoil
and travelling with family members is the other to tolerating all sorts of bizarre
characters, speak about money which is never sunny, if not for all, but for some who prefer to travel at our expense. Tell me all about it please? That’s why, remember I told
you why I am standing tall with my principle of travelling alone (Travelling Solo When You Are Married).

Jeju Island (Part 2) - Korea (Day 3)
No two ways about
it. Unquestionably, travelling in a tour requires discipline. Yes please. There
is no such a thing as you wish in a clearly listed tour. Obviously, you can’t
follow your own travelling heart by wondering as you please. Instead, it is about
abiding to the unspoken travelling rules. Otherwise, you will be billed as a
nuisance by the tour guide and tour buddies. So sorry everyone, if you can’t pay attention to the tour guide on safety rules and time limit, you better ditch
the idea of tour travelling (Sapporo/Hokkaido). I know better. I can strongly vouch because experiences speaks louder than words. In Jeju
Island, it had to be the same agenda in the morning. Waking up by 7.00am,
sometimes even earlier, showering of course is your choice, followed by
breakfast and most to most by 9pm, sometimes you have to pack if we are not returning to the same hotel. Also, do try to empty your bowels instead of
restlessly interrupting while on the way for sightseeing (Istanbul Turkey, Pretoria South Africa & Colombo Sri Lanka).
