#wsmcinseoul DAY 6 - home bound

We only had half a day today since we gotta leave for the airport at around 3pm. 

Woke up earlier than usual for the original, authentic Paris Baguette. 
We went to the branch at Seoul Station (line 1). 


The one at the bottom right is my faveeeeee. Sausage with cheese, mixed veg and tomato sauce inside a baguette, yumyum. 

Then we went to Lotte Departmental store. We found a gem!!!! Behind the Lotte Departmental store is this Lotte Young Plaza. Lots of cool stuff inside such as HUF, Stussy, Style Nanda, make up stuff and some local designers I think. 

Pity we didn't have enough time. 

Then we went to Myeongdong, which was right beside, for lunch! 
Our last lunch in Korea :'(
Was kinda like a casual Korean restaurant. Not bad~~~

All in all, this trip was nothing but fabbbbbb. 

List of my fave places:
1. Myeongdong shopping area (Myeongdong station)
2. Lotte Young Plaza (City Hall station)
3. Hongdae shopping area (Hongik uni station) 
4. Ewha shopping area (Ehwa women's uni station) 

Must try food:
1. Chicken and beer
2. Korean BBQ 
3. Cold noodles (buckwheat/sweet potato)

Must try stuff:
1. JIMJILBANG!!!!!!! (Public shower and the fermentation thing. Just don't have any thoughts, just do it. It's not as bad as you think it is. I would definitely go to a jimjilbang again, I love it hahaah)
2. Noryangjin fish market: to see see and to eat 

Korea, we will be back =D

#wsmcinseoul DAY 4


Today was kinda a relaxing day. We took our own sweet time strolling, taking pics, eating blablabla. Temperature's quite high today, hit 20 degrees in the afternoon ~.~


I love love love love porridge. So I suggested korean's traditional porridge for breakfast. It was damn good omggggg. At Hoehyeon station (exit 1). We tried mixed seafood and beef. Super yummmmmmms. Salivating. I feel like a Korean princess eating this kind of food. Like 大长今. 


Had a (tiring and warm) stroll up to find the cable car to bring us up. Walked the wrong way, and a kind office dude led us there LOL


Not the cable car that we were expecting.............. Chantel complained all the way up, and all the way down afterwards LOL. 

Greedy us had potato curly thing again 

Caught this shot with some birdies. Quite nice right LOL

Bushes of flowers made into heart shapes every where


This is the Lover's area. There were lovers locks and all. This is the lovers bench LOL 


Sam and my godma so cute :)

By the way, the Teddy Bear museum at Namsan is closed, I don't know since when. Was pretty disappointed, but this Alive Museum (3D art) was pretty good!
Picture time~
LOLOL!
Actually............

After which, we went up to the observatory~ which was pretty much like every other observatories. 

Pretty view of Seoul :)

Then we left for late lunch at Myeongdong! 
Had sweet potato noodles and some hand made dumplings~
The one with the cold broth looks tasteless, but it was surprisingly tasty!! Refreshing yet not too bland. I prefer this over the saucey one. 

Walked and shopped around for a bit at Myeongdong (again). 
Happy day cause I GOT THE INNISFREE LEE MIN HO POSTER I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED OMGGGGGGGGGGGG *throws confetti and dance around* 

Then we went to Ehwa women's uni area for some shopping. Was slightly drizzling but that didn't deter us at all.



Saw a Dunkin' Donut cafe. Yes cafe with like 3 levels of seats! Most such shops have seats and tables. 

Decided on chicken & beer for dinner cause mummy didn't get to try on the first day here. 
BUT stopped for churros on the way. No one says no to churros. 


Chicken and beer for dinner whoop

One spicy sauce + tteokpokki, the other is kinda like a wasabi/garlic fried flavor. 

Of course, some beer hehe

Sigh second last day already :'(
