27th December 2013: start of the amazing 10 days trip to korea.
woke up as early as 9am, prepared and waited for junde to come to my house area to fetch me!
agreed to meet at 1030am, but the previous night he told me, eh meet 10am lah.
then i said 1015am. afterwards he say i pig, lazy sia etc etc.
then ended up he came at 1040am like that!!!
heng i never agreed to meet at 10am!!
after he fetched me at my house here, went to fetch qifang and then we headed to airport!
weeeeeeeee
reached the airport, waited for the rest to come, check in, and headed in!!
getting ready to flyyyyyyyyyy!
window seat!!!
way before we booked the ticket, we draw lots to choose the seating arrangement!
YAY lucky me got the window seat!!
OFF TO SOUTH KOREA WEEEEE
sitting buddy!
yay brought my pooh bear along! SO CUTE RIGHT!!
bought the ice cream cause was a little hungry and was craving for it!
fang's noodle..... (hopefully you can see it ah oops)
Pooh wants to sleep
from afternoon to sunset
finally reach taiwan!! ( come here for transiting only..... sigh an hour only.)
bought this at taiwan airport to eat because we're hungry and the food onboard is so expensive!!
collected our luggage!
ISSUE SEOUL, the guest house we are staying at!
our room!
the living room!
since I'm talking about the guesthouse, shall give some reviews about it!
it was a really pleasant experience staying there!
the ahjummas(aunty) there are all very good!!
except for the short hair girl, the like in charge of the place de, not sure if she's the manager though... but still, so annoying!!!
but nonetheless, i love staying that place and I'm starting to miss it now.
they are very nice to us, even helping us to order the nene chicken, the ski thingy, etcetc!
if i were to travel to seoul w friends again, i would go back to there!
oh and it is of walkable distance from a subway station, Hapjeong.
& guess what, if you were to go YG building, its just nearby that station!!
another plus point for the place!
im a v sensitive person about toilet, so the toilet its actually v clean and i really like it! like, its good enough taking into consideration of it being a shared toilet among all the other guests there.
they make an effort to clear the bin daily and keep it clean everyday!
4.5/5 for the place we are staying! ( -0.5 for the annoying manager(?) )
Issue Seoul
481-9 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul

*back to the trip*
so upon reaching our guesthouse and settling down, we the hungry souls headed outdoor to look for food!
making our way to find shops to eat!
ended up we just went to 7-11 to buy some food and drinks, then head back to the guest house to eat!
the weird tasting korean cup noodle..
cause we don't really know what it is, how it taste like, we just anyhow grab one...
after eating, went to unpack a little of our luggage, wash up and sleep as we prepare for the next day!
28th December 2013:
woke up around 9+am to eat breakfast as they provide us breakfast from 9-10am!
simple toast bread with jam and butter spread!
after eating, washed up, prepare and headed to take their subway which is MRT to us.
at hapjeong's station!
bought their T-money which is ezlink card to us!
tap in!
their subway station sells a lot of things as well, got food got clothes got this got that.
what's even better is they are sold inside, which is after you tap in.
unlike singapore.. the stores are all before the tap in area there.
and inside the subway or at the station, people are allowed to eat and drink while travelling!
this really do save lots of time man.
imagine, you're rushing for school and you are hungry.
you can just buy something at the station and eat through the journey.
good right.... some more something even more amazing is, even though people and drink, the train and station are all very clean...
while waiting for train,
yay board the train!
reached yeongdeungpo station!
lotte department store is directly connected to the station!
came out of it because it's not our destination!
heading to our first location...
TIMES SQUARE!
upon reaching there, first thing: find food!!
it's already around 2-3 plus if i rmb-ed correctly, so obviously we are hungry right.
some more all we had for breakfast was bread.
decided to settle down at the food court after walking around to find food but to no avail.
my food. Their food there is really expensive, like even in food court.
but then it is nice, especially the crispy part, but cause we waited for everyone to come before eating, they gradually soaked themselves inside the sauce, became less crispy sigh
look, this is the place running man went on their first ep!!!
stepping on the ground they step before!!!
after walking for quite some times, we have concluded it is a very boring place.
nothing to buy, all so expensive, and they are those high ends brands....
so we decided to head over to myeongdong!
met jennifer at myeongdong!
since we are here, headed to the sticker shop which is neoprints to us!
view from the sticker shop!
the sticker shop is located on the second level!
pasted the photos on the wall!
hopefully if there's a chance for all of us to go again, they will still be there!!
walked around and there are a lot of street food there!
jennifer said this is nice, and most of them bought one! ( i didn't though!)
but it looks and smell damn nice!! tempted to buy, but told myself to control!
met mario at myeongdong!
super cute, ask him to post for us and he really did!
then after walking for some times, headed to eat dinner at a korean bbq restaurant!
because we are tourist, so we must take photos for everything that we do~~
after eating, shop for awhile more then some says to head home.
however while at the subway station, plans changed.
some wants to continue shopping at the underground area.
so ended up we all went to shop at the underground area.
while discussing, junde helping dawn to take her stuff because she was shivering
took a picture of him being like this because the way he stands makes him looks v gay, thus funny!!
headed back to the guesthouse after shopping!
while walking back:
thank god for the two boys who helped us carry our shopping bags home. or else, our hands will break!!
korea chewing gum!!
edlyn bought this, and i swear it is v nice!! cause it is cookies and cream!
stop by 7-11 and reb bought soju for is to try and drink~~
was supposed to eat our supper, then afterwards go sleep.
but we ended up, eating and talking, and after we finished eating, continue talking till around 2+/3+ am before heading to bed.....
ok this summarises the first two days of the trip!
will update ASAP for the other days~~~~~
