[Seoul 2013] Day 2, 5th July 2013!

[Hongdae >> Ehwa Womans' University (Idae) >> IFC Mall (Yeouido) >> Dongdaemun >> Hongdae]

Went to have our brunch at a restaurant in Hongdae that was recommended by one tour guide. It's almost the same as Yeolbong but is just a different name. But this shop is super near to Yeolbong. If you guys want to go to this restaurant with 2 or 3 people, make sure to order half chicken is enough! We asked the waiter which is more suitable for 3 person and she suggest us ONE chicken :O It took us kinda long to finish everything. 




In Korean, this shop is called as Bong Chu Jjim Dalk.

After our brunch, we went to Ehwa Woman's University which is 2 station away from Hongdae using subway. The clothes here are slightly cheaper than in Hongdae &Myeongdong. The cheapest you can find here is 5,000won (around RM15/$5USD). In here, you will find a lot of teenage girls and students walk/shop here after their classes.





After Ehwa Woman's University, we went to IFC Mall in Yeouido just to walk at their shopping malls. I thought of going to Yesung from Super Junior's Handel & Gretel cafe but it's not really at that area :( Around 6PM KST, we went to Dongdaemun. For me, i don't really like here because it wasn't like what you expected. We couldn't find the famous place where they always show the in TV where to shop for clothes. Also went to Doota, one of their shopping malls. Their clothes there are nicer but it's quite pricey. You can't get like 5,000 or 10,000won clothes in this mall. Their lowest price you can get is like 15,000won (around RM45/$15USD).

[Seoul 2013] Day 1, 4th July 2013!

[Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia >> Incheon International Airport, Seoul >> Hongdae >> YG Building (Hapjeong) >> Hongdae]

I've went to a place where i've been dreaming to visit which is Seoul, Korea! Booked my flight tickets on October 2012. That's how desperate i wanted to go. Of course that's not the only reason! D: Air Asia was having promotion that time, and when we saw the price was low, we booked it straight away!

My flight was at Wednesday midnight but it's consider as Thursday (4th July 2013). Arrived at LCCT around 11PM then brought our luggage to check-in. We chilled at Mc Donald until 12.15AM then we went in to the boarding. Surprisingly there was quite a number of people who are going to Seoul.



This is how LCCT looks like. LCCT stands for Low Cost Carrier Terminal.


That's how i look like when i'm at home :/ The middle want is my mum and the other is our friend :)

Walked to our plane. Yeah that's how Air Asia works.

Flight to Seoul was around 6 hour plus. My flight was at 1AM and we reached Seoul at 8.20AM KST which is 7.20AM in Malaysia. Korea are one hour ahead. We took the airport railway to Hongdae, which is the place we're gonna stay. I'm glad we choose Hongdae for the place we stayed because Hongdae is a very convenient place! If you don't feel like going anywhere, you can just walk around Hongdae where the place near to the University. Walked around Hongdae because the guesthouse only can check-in by 2PM.




At 2PM, we checked in to our guesthouse. The guesthouse is super nice! I will post out the photos and details on below later! ^^ At 2.30PM, i've got ready to meet Jessica (Tofu128 on twitter). We met at H&M because she wants to buy some clothes. After that, we went to Twosome+ Studio. For those who don't know what Twosome is, it's a coffee shop own by Teddy from YG. So most of the YG lovers probably know this place. We sat at the 3rd floor which have most of Mina Kwon's artwork. Didn't manage to take some :( 

We sat there chat a while and this crazy idea came out. We went to YG Building which is one station after Hongdae. By the time we reached, there's only one girl which Jess called her as stalker because she said she saw her at almost all times in airport when BB/GD departure & arrival. We stayed for like 5 minuted then we went off because it started to rain -_- Then Jess went back to her dorm and i went back to Hongdae.

YG Building is one of the most unique building among the entertainment buildings!




During night, we walked around Hongdae again. Most of the beauty shops like Etude House, The Face Shop, Tony Moly and others were having sales. I'll write another blog post about what i've bought for this whole trip! ^^
