Korea Trip - Day 10 - Last Day Out

It's the last day in Korea. Almost broke and no where to go. So we lead the way for Julie Ong who only have today to go shopping.
First we head over to MyeongDong to book for a free session of trying out Korean Tradisional Dress  (Hanbok).
Then we went to DongDaeMun to bring Julie to shop for shoes and cloths. There I bought two long pants. Haha. 
Walk until 4pm and head back to MyeongDong.
In MyeongDong we shop aomemore and went to take picture in Korean Tradisional Dress (Hanbok). It was fun. We only had 10 minutes. But the people in charge there are so friendly. I even took a picture with her.
We continue shopping until 7+pm.
After that we went back to hostel to fresh up so we can wait for Ps Choi for dinner. He told us to wait for him for dinner. End up after bathing, they said they are stuck somewhere after Everland Theme Park in a jam. So we have to get our own dinner. I fell asleep on the bed while waiting for yvonne and vivian to bath. The next thing i know, when I open my eyes, the room is dark and the girls are done with packing and asleep. Its 9+pm already. I slept for 1 hour.
I thought to myself, "what a waste, it's my last night in Korea and im sleeping at 8pm?". But everyone is asleep so i just went to take a bath and thought I should rest since the second day I would need to wake up at 5am. Flying at 9am.
After bath and packing, it's around 10+pm. Samuel came back to hostel and complain that I am sleeping my last night in Korea.
With that, we decided not to sleep. So we walk in the night, to MyeongDong and then to NamDaeMun then back to hostel. It took us almost 4 hours of walk. We reach hostel at 3.40am. And Ps Choi told us that we have to wake up at 4.30am. Perfect timing, I went back to the room to bath and put on mask. Next thing I know, it's time to wake up.
That concludes the 10th Day. I will continue the post with the 11th day. Hahaha. I was friggin tired.
Hasta Luego,

Korea Trip - Day 8 - Myeong Dong Chillax Shopping

Today, we sleep late and started out very late towards Myeong Dong market. We were all tired yesterday and decided to sleep in. I woke up at 11 to buy breakfast from 7-eleven. Well i got time to check out the direction of Myeong Dong market. So we have our breakie in the room at 12pm. Came out around 1+pm to a cafe called Coffine Gurunaru. Where we have light food. Sandwich, bread, and coffee.

Then we walk around the street to get what remaining things we wanted. Vivian wanted a Cap and I want one too. So we look around for it. I bought quite some street food. It was nice.

It's a saturday so the streets are filled with people. Really more than the previous day we come here. We walked around until 6pm then we look for dinner.

We had tapoki, ginseng chicken soup, Jab Che, and Kimchi Cheese Fried Rice. Very very good dinner!

Continue our walk and bought somemore stuff. Vivian wanted to look for shoes. Ironically, Payless is selling nice heels at a crazy price.

It's 11pm and we head back to the hostel. Bath and get ready for tomorow. I bought 82 pieces of faccial mask today! I'm swimming in a pool of facial mask.

Chloe and Aunty Eva will be leaving at 7am. And me, Vivian and Yvonne will go to EverLand Theme Park tomorow morning!!

The girls used their mask and now everyone is asleep while i write my blog. I should be asleep now.

P/s : I wrote this at 2.45am, so I hope you enjoy what I write.

Korea trip - Day 7 - Nam Dae Mun Shopping Spree

The first picture is Vivian and taken in our room. She look stunning so I have to post. She is so beautiful. You will find her getting more and more beautiful as you get to know her.

The second picture is Myeong Dong Hostel, a superb good hostel. If you are looking for place to stay in Seoul Korea, I highly recommend it. Rooms are spacious and the guy here is so helpful. Very good and clean place to stay. Affordable too.

We had our lunch when we come out of the hostel at 12pm. Head towards Nam Dae Mun SiJang (Namdaemun shopping district).
There are a lot of stufff to buy. Specially accessories. And if you are a business person, you can buy hand made accessories in bulk. And friggin cheap. But if you are a shopper you might be disappointed that they dont sell single items. We begged and ask most of the shop. Only some sell.
But we got what we wanted. And a lot of them. Haha

The mandu (pao) is also tasty here.

We shop until 6pm and look for JaJangMyeon, a chinese noodle in Korean restaurant. So we found this famous chinese restaurant in NamDaeMun. Its called HongBok. Superb Ja Jang Myeon.

Took bus back to our place and stopped by Lotte Young. It was uber cool in that place. They had a nice shop call Pin&Fit. Super cool tshirts. They even have these maskot mask to take picture with. We had lots of fun. I bought two tshirt at 20,000 Won (Rm60).

Then Lotte Young have this Roof Garden at the top floor. Awesome interior and with a great garden. Good place to chill. We hang out and took lots of picture. Chloe and Vivian enjoyed this place.

After this we head back around 10+pm. And we stop by a road side stall to have some supper.

Back to the room and pack, clear up,  bath, mask, count how much we spend and laugh about the day. We showed what we buy and is satisfied. Slept at 2am. I woke up at 11am and the others at 12pm.

This is a good group to travel with. So much energy, so much tolerance, so much excitement and so much love.

P/s : don,t mind the mess, typing this at 2.30am
