Had another Seoul trip back in January and it was winter, the most cold month ever (according to my korean friend) and i'm glad i survived. I kinda 'experienced' winter before in Taiwan during February but that was nothing compare to Seoul. It didn't snow when i'm in Seoul :( but it snow in the morning of the day i arrived. No fate with snow :( I did saw some after snow. This trip, basically i only had 3 days of walking around and shopping. 2 full days i'm at the concert venue :/ my trip this time included 2 days of BIGBANG +a in Seoul. I feel like i'm part of the korean fans at the moment! :D Okay, back to blog about my trip! This blogpost will be full of photos i took with my Iphone because i was very lazy to bring my dslr out.

My bags!
Airasia's lousy boarding pass.
With Camy, my travel buddy for this trip!
Arrived Incheon Airport at 3.25PM KST which is 2.25PM since my flight was 8AM in the morning D: Korea time is one hour ahead of Malaysia time.
Waiting for the train to come to bring us to the main arrival hall.
Immigration counter.
Two important you need :
(left) T-Money card. It's like Touch n Go in Malaysia. Super convenient for subway rides.
(right) Olleh Egg Wifi. Carry it every where you go.
Snow!
First meal of the day, Cho Ma! A Korean-Chinese meal. Had dinner with Yerim and Stella unnie~
Walked around Hongdae and got stuffs my friends told me too.
Hello G-Creator! Went to GS25 to get this.
Met up with my another friend, Fion. I met her during my last day in Seoul back in July 2013. But we always keep in touch!
Walked around at night at this temperature! That moment i'm so proud of myself!
Had Baskin Robbins! My friend said Koreans like to eat cold stuff during winter :O
My hand was so dried up and it look like so old lady's hand :O
23rd January 2014 (Thursday)
Woke up quite late on the second day and went to Myeongdong, the heaven for KPOP fans. It has most of the artists' endorsement.
Such a nice view beside Shinsaegae Department Store.
One of the main point of going Myeongdong was to go to Namsan Tower!
The view from the cable car station!
Our tickets!
Namsan Tower! The view is pretty much the same when i went at night back in July 2013. But i wouldn't want to come here at night and freeze myself.
If you have watched EXO's Showtime, this was the potato chips they ate at Namsan Tower!
Hello baby! Went shopping after Namsan Tower.
Met up with Fion at Myeongdong (she was also at Myeongdong that time) and we went to Dongdaemun to watch the BIGBANG Hologram Concert at Lotte Fittin Store. They was giving out free invitation tickets and luckily we managed to get it just right before 7PM KST!
Handsome boy! This was the display photo for the BIGBANG 2014 Season's Greetings that are available there.
The glass car used by GD for his opening during his OOAK Tour.
They let us in at 9PM KST but the show only started at 9.30PM and ended at 10PM KST.
Dinner at Dongdaemun and we had Naengmyun (cold noodles). It was my first time eating that and it wasn't that bad. The portion was so big and it feels like you cannot finish everything.
Supper of the day because i didn't finish my naengmyun earlier.

Went to Tous Les Jours to have coffee to warm myself.
Super cute biscuits!
Natural lightning is the best!

The sky was so dark at 7PM KST.

It was a free day for me because i didn't watch the second show. Had lunch at Yeolbong and went to Ehwa Women's University to help my mum to get her bag :/
GD and TOP G-Market ads in the subway station!
Went to Myeongdong again.
Hello again! :D

Final show of 2014 BIGBANG +A in Seoul.
Woke up super duper early (around 4AM KST) to catch the first train and just to line up for the BIGBANG bears -_- but when the time we arrived, there were quite a number of people already :O damn, those girls were more crazy than us because i thought we were the crazy ones.
Super cold weather in the morning!
The last show starts at 6PM KST so they let us in around 5PM KST.
My view for that day!
Super nice yellow sea with Bigbang crown stick!
