Korea life - 12 July 2014 (Day 140 week 20)
My classmate asked me if I want to join them on a day trip to Nami Island and Petie France this weekend, of course I will go since there is someone who invite me to go. So early in the morning today, we met up with my classmates and Qi's classmates to head to Nami Island and Petie France.
We took the subway from Hyehwa station to Gapyeong station and waited for the shuttle bus beside of the tourist information to the tourist resort in Gapyeong. We were lucky that the queue only started to get long after that, because peoples that wasn't able to board the bus had to wait for the next bus.
Since some hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so we decided to go for early lunch nearby the ferry station, like that easier for us. Although there were alot of people but we don't really need to wait long for the ferry to go to Nami Island. The ride took less that 6 min to reach and everyone just dash out of the ferry.

How to go - Take the train to Gapyeong station, change to the shuttle bus (in front of the tourist information) ; bus ride is around 45 min
Many people were visiting the place due to the drama <Winter Sonata>, most of the scene were shot there when the actors dated during their teens. Although during the winter period, the whole place will be covered with snow, will look even more beautiful, but that doesn't mean that the view now is bad too. It feels that you are surrounded by super tall trees and feels like you are back to the natural.
As the ferry departed every half and hour, and later we will still have to take bus again to Petite France (will have to wait for an hour if we missed the bus), so we started to walk back to the port to wait for the ferry. Was lucky that we were able to board the leaving ferry, no need to wait for the next one! We went back to the same bus stop to wait for the bus to travel to Petite France, but since there were some time before the bus arrive, we headed to 7-eleven to buy something first. Again we had to take 45 min bus ride to Petite France

Petite France is a French cultural village set in the Korean countryside. It serves both as a French cultural village and a youth training facility . It also consists of 16 French-style building where visitors can lodge and experience French food, and household culture
We were excited about this place when we arrived, so we set a timing and we just spilt out. However after we went in, it was a disappointment. The place was really just like it's name, really a petite place. I only took 30 min and I had finished seeing everything. Only bought 2 postcard to send back to Singapore and never buy other things. I don't think I will come back here again...
We actually said meet 2 hours later at the same spot we split out, but because the place was so small, we finished before an hours, so we met up earlier and went back out to take the bus back to the subway station to the the subway back home ...
