Day 6
So we went to Myeongdong again today in the morning to shop for MORE beauty products and other stuff before exploring Itaewon, which is only a stop away from our airbnb, before resting for the night!
Went to explore the LINE store Myeongdong branch for the gigantic Brown Bear!!
For those who were wondering whether my friends and I were crazy wearing only sweater/hoodies in such a cold weather, no, we're not crazy. Apparently we got used to the cold :/
Just in case you're curious what was my ootd today, I wore a pair of jeans from Giordano, Converse by John Varvatos All-brown high-top sneakers (if I'm not wrong), a Uniqlo Ultra Warm HEATTECH thermal Long-sleeve (in black), a simple cotton shirt and a (fake) Stussy hoodie (in grey) that I bought from Myeongdong the previous day for only 15,000₩!! Brought my winter jacket just in case I feel cold at night but end up not wearing it anyway because the cold was tolerable.
We even got a taste of the local Korean BBQ at Itaewon! It's very delicious but very expensive too ><
Didn't get to eat a lot of it due to our budget but thanks to that I don't have to worry about gaining a lot of weight HAHAH! Actually, to think about it, it felt as though I ate lesser than I usually do in Singapore. No wonder I lost weight instead...
Day 7
Today, we visited Hongdae to shop and then to Tosokchon Village which is near Gyeongbukgong Palace and famous for their 삼계탕 (Ginseng Chicken Soup).
And no, we didn't visit YG Entertainment today because we completely forgot about it lol. Plus, it's a waste of time to travel here and there too.
Again, we're wearing only 3 layers again because we seriously got used to the cold, if I'm not wrong, it was around 3 degrees. Thank god it wasn't below zero though. It's funny how we were wearing lesser than the locals themselves, suddenly I feel like a superhuman 😂
By the way it was a very chillax day today because it's our last day in Seoul before preparing to go home tomorrow. Sighs, packing is the worst when travelling. I wonder how I'm gonna squeeze everything I bought into my luggage 😪
Day 8
Going home today!! Sighs, gonna miss Korea so much. Gonna miss the places, the (slight) language (barrier), the people, the food, the free gifts you get when you buy skincare products and mostly, the weather. I love the cold weather, even though it was freezing cold and all but I really liked it. In fact, the weather actually helped with my slight skin troubles, all my small bumps literally disappeared spending a week there lol amazing!! Maybe I was made for the cold weather... I was born in December anyways 😂😂
The amazing view from the plane while flying to KLIA Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Kinda reminds me of the anime Sword Art Online.
Was bored so I took out a book I prepared to read for awhile. Book name's 'Unhomed' by various authors/students/poets, published by Ethos Books Singapore.
Got home at around 8pm and look at all the stuff I got from our trip! Hahah! Amazing how it all managed to actually get inside my luggage right?? Bought heaps of masks that can probs last me for 3 years or more hahah!!
In conclusion, it was a very memorable and exciting trip for me. Although there were some arguments and disagreements here and there but it's bound to happen while travelling with friends because yknow, people have different opinions and they can't always agree with one another. I am actually really glad the dissatisfactions didn't affect us a whole lot during the trip.
Few weeks later... ((15th December 2016))
Still miss Korea, and really hope to go back soon... The people there are just amazing! Basically, the country itself is really fascinating and everyone should take some time off to visit it.
10 years since my last trip to Seoul and I guess things did change quite a lot. Suddenly there were tourists from all around the world, thanks to KPOP! You might think, of course there's gonna be tourists every now and then because it's no longer unusual for people to travel around the world nowadays, but honestly, there were a HUGE BUNCH OF THEM. Everywhere we go we see tourists (we're tourists too but oh well), mostly the Chinese. 👀
Anyways, these are just a few snapshots of my trip, so if you'd like to get to know more about my experience in Korea, please look out for our vlog on my YouTube channel!! Gonna upload it real soon!
