Day 3
Following our plan, we decided to go to COMMONGROUND (which is located at Konkuk Univ Station) in the morning before we explore the amazing shopping district, Dongdaemun!!
Here's us in the subway defying rules like the teenagers we are.
Also, look at all the adorable penguins on display that day to commemorate Antarctica Penguin Day! #안타티카팬귄날다
Next we went to Dongdaemun and shopped till we drop. We didn't have any pictures taken there but it is indeed a shopping paradise and we had our shopping frenzy there. I believe I bought most of my clothes and things there because the price there is very reasonable. Even when it's not, you get to cut the price down to your desirable cost! Just like what you can do in a Pasar malam here in Singapore.
At night, we decided to try out another of Korea's delivery system, FRIED CHICKEN! They come in different flavours: soy sauce, original and spicy. Here below we have a set we ordered which consists of a box of soy sauce chicken and another of original-flavoured ones. It's considerably smaller compared to those we usually get in KFC in Singapore and also less oily, which makes it healthier too! On top of that, it is also very cheap. This set here cost us around 12,000₩, which is around S$14! Don't think you can get these at this price in Singapore!!
Day 4
On our 4th day, we went to Gangnam to explore their shopping centres, most specifically COEX Mall (arrive at Samseong Station because it's the nearest subway station).
We also got to see Seoul's 첫눈 (first snow)!! It wasn't really big but I'm still very happy to see it because it's my first time experiencing snow. If I were to describe snow for those who have yet to experience it, it would be as though bingsu or crushed ice is falling from the sky.

Coincidentally, it was SHINee's fan meet in COEX Mall. We didn't get to meet them however because the timing wasn't right. I believe they appeared when we were about to leave the mall. We also stopped by at the KAKAO Friends Store to buy a few gifts for my relatives and take a few shots with the characters. Aren't they just adorable?? 😝
We spent a whole day at COEX that day and went home.
Day 5
Since we didn't get to explore much of Gangnam on our 4th day, we decided to explore their streets today. We went to visit some of the entertainment companies today and also took pictures with the famous Gangnamdols before we head to Myeongdong in the afternoon to experience night shopping and delicious Korean street food!!
Sadly we didn't get to visit Bighit Entertainment because we weren't really sure where it is until we saw a sign board near the Gangnamdols and realised that it wasn't very far away from JYP Entertainment. Sighs. YG Entertainment is located at Hongdae(?) so we did not get to visit it.
Here are pictures of me posing with Gangnamdols of my Favourite idol groups, EXO and BTS.
Next we proceeded to Myeongdong and spent our whole night there. While we were there, we got the chance to taste the many types of street food famous in South Korea. Twisted potato with cheese, fried soft-shelled crabs, black pork kebabs and boiled fish cakes to name a few.
We also went to the Adidas branch here to look for some shoes because we heard that they sell shoes here at a fairly cheaper price as compared to in Singapore. We went to take a look at the price difference and they weren't wrong! I bought these 2 pairs of shoes and saved nearly S$30!!! 헐!! ((Sorry I'm too lazy to take pictures of them so...))
TO BE CONTINUED...
