Korea life - 6 Apr 2014 (Day 47 week 7)

Heading out to a place called Nonsan as PQ checked out that there is a strawberry festival here today. Want to save some money (so we could spend more there !), we packed our lunchbox (just kimbap) this morning before taking the train to the Express bus terminal station

Where to buy the bus ticket to Nonsan 

Once we reached the Express bus terminal, we looked for the bus terminal station to Honan line to buy the bus ticket (as the online website only has Korean and only accept credit card) and there are signboard everywhere leading us so we didn't spend too much time on finding the counter to buy the ticket. We had some time before boarding so we just sat down (and restroom) and wait to board the bus

Boarding the bus to Nonsan !! 

After 2 hrs of bus ride, we finally arrived at Nonsan !! PQ checked that we should cross the road to take a bus to the festival area. We waited for while but the bus number that PQ checks never comes, so we asked the only bus driver that kept appearing. The kind bus driver asked us to board and drive us to the bus terminal and took us to take another bus to the Strawberry festival area. In no time, we reached the event area very fast. There were so many cars, people, booths and so many thing to try and see !! SO EXCITED. But there were too many people and too many food, so we only tried hottok and ice-cream (all with or made from strawberry)

The Nonsan strawberry event !! 

The pass that allow us to go in freely 

After almost visiting all the booth, we took a taxi to the farm area to pick strawberry. We actually wanted to walk to the farm area but luckily we listened to the farm owner and took the taxi, it is really not walking distance to the farm.We were asked to paid 10,000 won (per person) and we were given a pass to go into the greenhouse with full of strawberry !!! We are allow to pick and eat on the spot. As long as we are inside, we can eat as much as we like and we could only carry one handful out of the place !!

Inside the greenhouse and look at the strawberry !! 

Is totally a strawberry buffet !! And at this point, our Singaporean bad habit comes out !! We are not allow but we bought plastic bad and pack some as we were eating !! >_< (so bad !! PLEASE DON'T LEARN). After all the eating and picking (and packing), we totally smells like strawberry !! Hahaha, I think I need to stay away from strawberry for a while. I can't believe I had strawberry for lunch (and just strawberry!!) HAHAHA.

The place owner helped us to call for a taxi and we headed straight to the bus terminal (was too tired from all the picking of strawberry). Bought the first bus back to Seoul, however due to the bus was full packed, we were unable to sit together, but it doesn't really matter as we were busy sleeping all the way. Due to the festival, many of the road was full of cars, in the end it took us 3 hours to come back to Seoul (actually it should take 2 hrs only).
