27th
Went to COEX and had trouble with finding food. They do write what they serve but they do not indicate the price so I was afraid of being cheated.. (In Taipei I bought a stick of chicken meat and another stick of veggie and it costs me SGD$4. Cheated or not?!) In the end I got jjajang noodles (Y) Was freaking hungry!
Visited the aquarium at 19,500won D: Actually contemplated outside the aquarium for 5 minutes before going in haha I have never been to a aquarium before so I guess it is a good experience? Saw a lot of creatures I have never seen before :D
There are also some parts of the aquarium that allows you to interact with the creatures. I touched the starfish~! They aren't soft like I thought...
Attempt to take picture with a shark. Say Hi.
The last part of the aquarium is the penguin enclosure and the penguins were all fighting for wood stick for those house damn cuteeeeee. At the side of the enclosure there is a small see through glass for us to take a look out a couple house and these two darlings were adorable-st! They were so intrigued by my DSLR lens so I hold the camera up down left right and their head follows ~*(v.v)*~ Played for about 15 minutes before they got less interested in it hahaha
After that I headed to Apgujeong station in attempt to go to the Rodeo Street but I think I never got there? haha I walked around for a little while though. Yeah la I actually got lost could not get out.
When I finally got out I took the train to Dongdaemun. Was craving for chicken so I went into a shop and only to realize the smallest meal is going to cost me 11,000won D: And so many pieces of chicken but I still finished it all lol Turn out that I turned the wrong direction away from the crowd. There are so many better looking street food why was I so silly?!!!! Need to go back. I am not done with that place anyway.
the chicken i could not turn down because the ahjjumas were just standing next to me waiting for me to order...
28th
Went down to Anam station because it was highly recommended by YC & SY. 1,000won delicious waffle and cheap restaurant food~
It was cold so I forgo the ice cream waffle but it is good enough! See, I took a bite out of it before the photo. Where else can you find waffle so crispy you tell me! And it is amazingly cheap. Even in Jurong Point that bakery that sells waffles makes it more expensive than this. Almost went for a second. haha
Next is a restaurant name 奎花 that is pretty near to the waffle shop. It is on the second floor but you won't miss it if you pay attention to the signboards.
very nice ambience
As usual I had trouble ordering food. I really did try my best to read them (I practice reading on subway whenever I am not sleeping) but nothing is registered. Thank goodness the waiter bought me an English menu! I pretended to read it for a bit and ordered the first item on the menu. It was the cheapest and tbh, I had no idea what it was when I was reading the Korean menu but yeah, I am pretty sure nothing is going to scare me.
The moment my meal came, I almost cried. My first proper Korean meal! Rice, soup, seaweed, side dishes. The pork was really spicy though, I washed it with the soup when there is a little left but it didn't work very well. I finished it still. ^^
The rain got heavier so I forgo the plan of going to the palaces and went to Lotte World instead. The queue for the amusement park was crazy! Mostly students in uniform. They were also having a halloween themed party I guess? Did not join them. Saving that money.
Went to the Folk Museum instead.
The place is bigger than I thought! Basically its a museum on the history of Korea and they showed the different dynasty and all. Very neat!
After walking around Lotte World a little bit more I headed back to the hostel. Very tempted to go for Club day but stayed back instead. Drank soju with the hostel owner and more people joined in as they return. The conversation, or debate, got really interesting but I could not understand the things they talk about. I felt so ignorant D:
