Ski Trip

I went to ski at LG Gangchon Resort with the girls (sn, rx and flora), sq and his korean friend, Bon Hong who was also our ski instructor for the day. The weather was sunny, a great day to ski! Although this was my second time skiing (my first time was coincidently in Korea too, at Yong Pyong Resort a few years back), I was still very bad at it, so it was basically quite tiring as I kept falling down. Getting up required alot of effort as the slopes are slippery and the ski gear was big and heavy, so it really hindered my movements.

During lunch I was casually asking Bon Hong if he was tired from teaching us ski but he could not understand what I meant. He replied "Huh, I'm not on a diet". It was quite awkward and funny so all of us began laughing as we realised our Singlish is really bad. The people here speak proper US style English, so we have to speak properly in order for them to understand us. Haha.

After lunch we continued skiing and the weather had turned warmer by then, so the snow began melting abit and the slopes became even more slippery. On the final slope back to the ski house, rx skidded and rolled down the slope. She had to stitch up her wounds and her face was also bruised as she landed on her head. The whole incident was quite scary when it happened, so I decided to only ski on the gentle slopes if I get the chance to ski again next time.
