Off to Seoul, South Korea

Sometime back, we made another overseas trip to Seoul, capital of South Korea.

Our flight had us detour via Singapore's Changi airport.
We certainly can understand why it's been graded as one of the world's best airports to be transiting/visiting; year in, year out...

 Little One was very excited as there were Koi fishes for him ...!
 And then, there's this: Wowza!

Who wouldn't want to stay in this airport for ages??? :P
We finally made our way to the actual departure gate, and woohoo, there is even a mini playground there!
 Certainly, NOT the way we taught him to slide down...!
 And after a 6 hour flight, we finally arrived at Incheon Airport.
Next morning, and to reward ourselves, (well, mostly missus and myself), we decided to have a feast...! Look at all that FOOD!
Snow...! We were hoping for more... but this was ALL that we saw during our stay here. Nooooo!
Even with temperatures at minus (-)13C!!!
"Look at all those yummy cakes Daddy!"
 Little One just cannot accept the amount of delicious cakes available!
 On the streets of Seoul...
 In Seoul, there were two main chains of bakery stores: Tous Les Jours and Paris Baguette which you will come across very frequently.
And these sandwiches would form our mainstay of nourishment for the duration of our stay here.
 Yes, we were there for Christmas. But more on that later...
The End.

Destination Star Trek : Birmingham, UK 2018

There is an actual reason why we are here in the UK - for this event: Destination Star Trek (DST); Europe's largest Star Trek convention or for that matter, outside of the US of A.
 It's also something we can tick off from our bucket list ...

 Moi getting Borgified... :P
 Missus excited to get this Ferengi couple to pose...
 Posing in front of a mural
 The closest we'll get to 'seeing' William Shatner (sans paying a fee!)
 One of the many discussions that was opened to the public; which we didn't join as we were sure Little One would be bored... but we just dropped by...
 The main hall in which all this is housed...
 If you follow Discovery, she did a fine job...
 As did these other two...
What do these three have in common? Nothing but just posing for me and other fans! :)
Greetings!
And we were very fortunate that these two gentlemen decided to have a little fun... 
 So here's something we attended ... Cosplay judging contest for Day 2.
 It's never too young to start cosplaying... :)
 And here's the rest: care to figure out from which series and character they are portraying? List them down in the comments!






All the contestants up on the stage 
 And here's the winner:
 Along with the other winners ...
 Care to guess who was the guest judges???
 One last cosplay photo catch before we ended our day and headed to the airport.
 One last look...
 Pity that the hand stamp was slowly coming off...
So long DST. Thanks for the pleasant memories...

Halloween Party @ Home for 2018

It's become quite a tradition to celebrate a personal Halloween party @ home...
Of course, it helps when you have quite a stash coming back from UK! :P
From lights to decos and food... 


 Little One enjoying his 'fake teeth'...
The End.

Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Palace Museum of Korea & Going Home

Just before heading home, we visited this site: Gyeongbokgung Palace. Unfortunately, while it looks nice and sunny, it isn't! It...
