#wsmcinseoul DAY 5 (last full day)

:( last full day before leaving tomorrow SIGHHHHHHHH. This trip has been really nice. So thankful for the people I have around me who loves me so much :)

Anyway today is a really fun and interestif day, stepping out of comfort zones and doing stuff I've never done before haha. 

Woke up early for a very rich brunch. 

Took a train to Noryangjin, to their fish market, kinda like a wholesale fishery. 

LOOK AT THE GIANT TIGER PRAWNS OMGGGGGGGGGG

We got abalones, a hairy crab, huge scallops, clams and tiger prawns. 

Afterwhich, we were brought up to a cosy restaurant at the second level, above the market. 

All so yummyyyyyy~~~ 

Apart from paying for the ingredients, we gotta pay a "cover charge" and for the restaurant to cook our seafood. Came up pretty pricey. About SGD85 for ingredients and almost SGD80 for the restaurant charges. -_- but still the seafood was really fresh and yums. 

Then, we decided to go to the local public shower, or jimjilbang. It's one of the biggest jimjilbang around. 

Us in our oversized jimjilbang attire for the fermentation room. It's little rooms with e.g. salt crystals, set at like a certain tempterature, 50-60degrees. There are like jade fermentation room, charcoal room, oxygen room, an ice room at -20degrees and some other salt room at bloody hell 86degrees wtf. All these are said to have healing properties. 

Restless backside us jumped from room to room. Then we had their hard boiled eggs and mini melts ice cream which didn't taste very good. 

Then Chantel & I went to the baths (gender separated). Clothes aren't allowed inside there, but it really isn't that bad or awkward when we were inside LOL. Fun experiencing something locals do :)

Then we went to Bau House cafe AGAIN!!! (It's at Hapjeong subway)

Bul-lee so cutesy and fatty 

Welcome from this blackie 

Enormous Alaskan malamute 

This very very smart Border Collie brought his ball to us and kept making us throw to him. Hell lot of energy, I felt tired for him. But really, his intelligence amazes me. 

Never seen a prettier dog. She looks like a princess. Her fur so soft and smooth. 

This giant white dog that's so ginormous I can't call him a dog but a bear 

*sniff sniff*

Mega melts

依依不舍的 left Bau House. Sigh I wanna work there :( 

We went to Hongdae again! This time is more thorough shopping~ 

(Btw Hongdae has been chosen as our most favourite place, followed by Ewha and Myeongdong IMO)

First, dinner! Finally got to fave Korean BBQ and I really got to say that none in Singapore can be compared to this. It was really the bomb. 

Charcoal instead of gas stove 

They don't have a large variety, (most restaurants that we have been to don't, I prefer it this way; being good at a few, rather than average at many) 

We ordered 2 portions of pork cheeks, and a portion of pork shoulder and beef. 

Shopped around, and bought even more stuff. After that, our fave chicken and beer AGAIN! This is the same as the one we had on the first day. Yummmmmms. 

And here's supper part 2

Puddings and jelly we got from Lotte Mart at Seoul Station after jimjilbang. 

This entire trip was so much of eating I think I put on like 5kg -.- 

Only half a day more in Korea tomorrow. From the first day, getting lost while trying to change trains, till today almost so sure about the areas we frequent, where to change trains, how to talk to the locals, interpreting what the locals say in Korean or their heavy Korean accented English. 

Sigh feeling sad but happy at the same time. At least I diligently blogged about all days here. Months later, I can look back and be remembered of such fun times :) 

Till tomorrow, anyeong~~~

#wsmcinseoul DAY1

First trip of the year! 

Seoul with Samantha and Chantel! Chantel's mum joined us the next day too :) 

We took a 5.5 hour flight to Seoul, Incheon. The flight was relatively comfy with a not bad leg space and not bad seats. Coincidentally met my not-so-close auntie on the same flight LOLOL

Went to our hotel @ Myeongdong (N FourSeason) for a quick change, then we headed to Hongdae shopping area.

We somehow got lost, ended up at Hapjeong subway area. Had a nice lunch at a rather traditional eatery. 

We had assorted dumplings, ramen, bibimbap and tofu stew (not in pic). With free kimchi and other side pickle stuff. They were all damn good!!! Total bill came up to be around $20 or something, pretty reasonable. Good start to our trip!

Next, we spent a bit of time trying to find this doggy cafe called Bau House cafe. It's not like what I imagined/seen in Singapore!

The doggies actually belongs to the shop itself. All very tame and friendy :)

 Biggest and fattest golden retriever I've seen. He's so fluffy I'm gonna die~

One of the guys in the shop carrying the fatty haha, so cute omgggg. 

Ginormous husky

This corgi puppy I fell in love with when we were about to leave. Super cute like baby, bit on my scarf LOLOL. Can I bring you home please~~~~

Then we took a train to Hongik Uni station, where the shopping stuff are actually at. Of course, a subway shot lol. 

Behind the scenes LOL

Shopped a lottttttt especially on those masks and stuff. The area was huge and hundreds of stores, at every corner. 

All the walking and shopping made my nose red and about to fall off. 

Fatty tired me while Sam and Chantel take ootd shots around. Pretty nice area, I like~

Free instax! Haha so cute

One of our to-go places was this Style Nanda flagship store! 

Style Nanda's photo booth! Hehe

Cool pics that Chan took (and I stole LOL)

More than $200 worth of stuff

We had chicken & beer for dinner! Fried chicken with beer is kinda a must-have! Especially since I'm watching 'You Who Came From The Stars', the female lead actress loves chicken & beer LOLOL 

IT IS DA BOMBXZ! We finished the entire plate of chicken AND fries

The giant Hoegarden we shared 

My top-up for our second round of shopping at Myeongdong~ 

Bought tons of masks again. I saw 132k instead of 32k. Bloody hell extra 100k only realised when I'm back in hotel -_-

That's all for day 1~~~~~
