[Seoul 2013] Day 8, 11th July 2013!

[Hongdae >> Ehwa Womans' University >> Hongdae]

Last full day at Seoul! There's no more places that i want to go so we just walked around Hongdae for one last time! Bought all the stuffs that we need with no regrets. Had lunch at Se7en's Yeolbong! If you're a fan of YG artists you'll probably got very excited like me LOL. There's so many photos hang on the wall! Mostly are the artists that have been to Yeolbong.

Dara!

Jiyong!

Taeyang!

TOP!

Daesung!

Jiyong again! 

The place we seated have Bigbang and GD's autograph posters!





Wish i could bring his home! T__T


Their famous dish in Yeolbong.

Around 6PM we went to Ehwa Womans' University because i wanted to get something and also did some last shopping! Went back to Hongdae around 9PM to have dinner but wasn't able to get any Korean BBQ that provides chicken so ended up eating bento from GS25. Packed our luggage and around 10PM off to meet Jessica and spent our night not sleeping! :O 

Read up what i did with her on the next blog post! ;) 

[Seoul 2013] Day 7, 10th July 2013!

[Hongdae >> Gyeongbokgung Palace >> Myeongdong >> Namsan Tower >> Hongdae]

We discovered there's a Hello Kitty cafe at Hongdae so we went and try it out. We thought it's the same as the one in Taiwan where they'll serve us foods but it turn out it's a coffee shop. I had waffle with Hello Kitty shape and i forgot what coffee i ordered :/


Went back to Gyeongbokgung Palace because that day we went was closed. I was super into history that time. All the old buildings are still strong but all of them are empty :( I wish they could show us with more furnitures so i can imagine their lifestyles back in the Joseon times.

The main gate inside the palace.




Admission tickets! 3,000won per person (RM9).



This was where the king seated.

Jars they used to marinate sauces.

No idea what's this place because we cannot go to there. I guess is where the Queens/Princess used to hang out?



Posing with our zodiac signs!



Sadly we can't go in to this building. I really want to see what's inside! >_<






Around 5PM we finished touring the whole place. Yes the WHOLE PALACE. I'm so proud of myself that i have this patience to walk the whole place. The palace is BIG. We took the train to Myeongdong because the other day we didn't get to shop due to raining.

After we've done our shopping and dinner, we walked to the cable station to take the cable car up to Namsan Tower. If you guys want to go to this place and doesn't want to walk, ask a cab to bring you up! The distance from Myeongdong to the cable station wasn't that far but the road is very hard to walk.

View from the cable car.


Namsan Tower!


The famous Lock of Locks!

[Seoul 2013] Day 6, 9th July 2013!

[Hongdae >> Gyeongbokgung Palace >> Ehwa Womans' University >> Hongdae]

Had our breakfast at a famous Chicken Stew with Ginseng (Sam Gye Tang) at Tosokchon. This place is near to the Gyeongbokgung Palace. If you're not a person with big appetite, 2 person can share a bowl of this. I've never tried any at KL so i can't compare which is nicer :p



3 of us share this.





After we had our breakfast, we went to the palace. But unfortunately the palace is closed on Tuesday -_- When we went there, we was like "why no open want?". Then when i checked through the web to only found out they closed D: so we went it to the National Palace Museum of Korea to have a look. In the museum, most of their things are related to the Royal Families. Like clothes, accessories, book and etc.












Clothes wore by the Royal Family in the olden days.


Pillow they used to sleep.








Those chops/stamps/wtviscalled used by the King.









This whole machine was used to announce the time during the Joseon times. This is the mini version they made just to show.

Super cool olden cars inside the museum.

I actually took kinda a lot of photos but i only choose a few to put it here. Didn't take photo at Ehwa Womans' University because we had no where to go anymore, so we went back to shop! :D


See you guys in next post! 
Teaser : It's about palace again~ ^^;;
