Simple Discoveries: Seoul trip 2013

Okay..guess this is kinda outdated..

but late is better than nothing..hahaha...

Remembered the previous time visiting korea..(and de 1st time also luh..)

this is one of the must do thingy in our list..

sam gyeop sa!..

it's really delicious!..

Actually we didn't know which one to go..

this place was recommended by one of the staff at our hostel coz it's just nearby n not expensive..

Another must eat!..Zha Jiang Mian!..
The hostel owner was very nice..they ordered for us too!..
I missed this dish now..Aww~

Saw information on the web regarding this university..
Ewha Women's University.. [Edae subway station]
it looks totally like European Country's kinda school..

like entering into a different world..

Lotsa tourist taking picture there too.. =^.^=

How can we missed out the all famous Hello kitty cafe..
ard Hongik area..kinda hidden too..
Saw mostly group tour in de cafe.. -.-"

Pinke Pinke..

Hello Kitty Food..

didn't know abt Trickeye museum until my friend showed me there..
lotsa creative/'eyes dropping' drawings!..hahaha..

Now there's one in sg Sentosa too..
Really..lotsa korea product coming to sg..maybe next time no needa travel so far ler.. -.-'

View of nam san tower from taxi..

we did went visit one of de night, but sadly weather that night wasn't good..

we heard lotsa people coming down from the top saying they can't see anything..

so we didn't go up to the tower top..

This is how it looked when we arrived.. :'(

just taking pictures and enjoying the breeze and the light of city from hill top..

But before getting the ticket to the top..
U need to walk thru this veryy steep slope..hahaha..
Have fun!.. :P

On our last day..we've planned to stay over in a jim jil bang[public hot bath house]

Another must do thingy in our list..

but it took us quite some time to locate the place..

it's not that near to the subway station..[nearby seoul station]

after turning here and there and asking the passerby locals..

we finally see a glimpse of light..

the bath house looks like this!..

some how looks hidden.. -.-'

no wonder so hard to find.. -.-'

staying overnight is like ard 14000won..

after entering, u'll be divided into male and female changing room and then meet again..

there's 4 storey..

hot mineral room, salt room, cold room, canteen, people snoring in slping room, TV area, arcade, gym, alot of places to lie ard..

Pls rem to take a shower before entering the hot tub in the huge shower/hot tub/locker/changing room..

if not the ajummas will nag at you or the young ones will give u a dirty look..

in the huge shower/locker/changing room, maybe cos nv experience that before..kinda feel weird..

coz everyone would be bare naked.. -.-'

but everyone looks as if nothing and walks ard comfortably, so... have to fit in luh..

korea is indeed a cosmetic product heaven!..

People bought lotsa things in bulk..N lotsa small freebies/samples..
Especially at Myeongdong..

By the way..this trip was in May 2013..

guess at that time, lotsa things are less expensive..

i heard lotsa things in korea has became more expensive due to media[Kpop] and massive bulk purchases from tourist from other asia countries especially china, hong kong, etc.. T.T
Hopefully it hadn't change that much for my next visit...

I wanna shop at affordable price too!.. >.<

Singapore doesn't have these product 2years back when I bought it in korea..

The sale asst recommended this to me..

I guess there's still a difference in experience luh..

coz she really explained de benefit to me in detail and demonstrated ways to use this..

different customer service experience in sg..

this chocolate flavour de long xu tang from insadong..

wat's interesting was de chef's demo..

3 of them making the malt into soo many long thinly shredded finally pieces with some tongue twister/ryhemes to make it fun..

it taste nice too!..

Saw this at insadong..[Anguk Subway Station]

Looks interesting..
But coz it's too cold then..didn't buy and try luh..

This place looks familiar?..
I think I saw this place in one of de korea variety show..
'We got married global featuring Taecyeon N gui gui'
