Just finished watching the latest season of Grandpa Over Flowers and the country they visited this time round is Spain.
With 2 other trips under their belt, the production team went out a little to make the trip more difficult for the halbaes with reduced travelling allowance. The halbaes were no pushover too, threatening to walk out on the show. The most epic scene would be Na PD scamming the oldest halbae to accept the reduced allowance without telling him about the reduced amount. Seriously funny when they found out.
As usual the halbaes went all out during the trip, trying their best to enjoy as much as they can. It's a bit disturbing to see them trying to find their way to the hotel in Spain and the production team just looked on without any help. You can see how stress and tired out they are when they realised they are lost in the maze alike streets. The funny side is when halbae Gu threw his temper when the production are looking on without any help.
The halbae who stood out in this show should be Teddy bear halbae. Though it was said there are complaints about him sitting out of some of the sights but you gotta love him for his cuteness. Like how he enjoyed himself while touring in a horse carriage while other halbaes went for a walking tour in some castle. Haha He even asked them whether they walked a lot after they came back. And oh, I enjoyed seeing him savouring all the good food in Spain and how he ate the popcorn while watching a soccer match. Haha Stuff a handful into his mouth each time.
I guess most of the older men will tour like him. Sitting by a cafe, enjoying a cuppa, taking in the sights and deem that they visited the place already. To them this the way to do on a tour, it's enjoying life. And most of the time, they don't even remember names of the places they are brought to. Just asked my Mr Love, he had no idea of most of the places we went to in Taiwan. Haha He is happy as long as he finds the place interesting enough.
There are more emphasis on the interaction between Na PD and Lee Seo Jin this time round. Seeing them trying to outsmart and make life difficult for each other is funny. Especially both have a achilles heels of their own- Maths for Na PD and cooking for Lee Seo Jin. And of course how the porter is doing such a great job handling the halbaes now is amazing. Can still recall the 1st season when he found out about the trick played on him. Haha
This show is especially closed to my heart. Having my own mum who love travelling and vow to travel and see the world as much as she can before she cannot do so. The halbaes were grateful for the chance though it took a toll on their health as seen in the footage. To hear them talk about this maybe being their last trip brings some sadness and the way they take all into their stride.
Hopefully the halbaes will be healthy enough to embark on another trip soon :)
