(Wednesday / 23:48)
OMG guys I just realise that one date is missing from my previous posts but i don't know which day! hahahaha whateverrrr
24th
Meet up with Ruby in the early evening~ GOT MY CONCERT TICKETS MUAHAHA In order to thank her we went to a nice cafe I found online and gave them all a treat ^^ Ruby says that she have been there and they waited for 2 hours or so. Bloggers recommending the place also said that it is advisable for people to make reservations ahead.
But the moment we got there we got seats YAY We are too pretty.
No lah maybe it was because it was 5pm and most people are working thus there are empty slots. Either that or we are really pretty.
Never had a prettier cup of red tea before so must take photo
It is compulsory for everyone to order a drink and there is a time limit of 90min for our meal. Weird right? I think they are really desperate for quicker table turnover. Had banana chocolate crepes and 4.0 pile up bread with ice cream strawberry and cream. It's version 4.0 because you do not need to cut the bread HAHA seriously thats what the waitress told us. 4.0!!!!! So do not think that those are thick toast. It is actually just a 'box' with cubes of bread inside.
After that we walked around the area a little and Ruby left to meet her friends while we make our way to Tonghua night market.
Tried Smelly Tofu for the first time! Not as bad as I thought or maybe the chili really powerpack.
25th
Last day seeing familiar faces as we fly different ways. Seperate but not apart ;)
Flew to Seoul with Koreanair and watched a little bit of The Hunger Games. Then I got so distracted by the view outside the window even though it was at night. The lights were so pretty! And the sky was so clear~
I still have a hard time believing I am here.
It was a late flight so I had to rush for the last trains to get to the hostels. Tried to withdraw money but the machine says that I can't. Asked a security guard where I am change money but he couldn't understand. Tried again with another machine and it works. Went to the convenience store to ask if I can purchase the transportation card but he said no. Thats contradicting what ICN website says! But I still managed to get the 2nd last train so not so bad. And I actually purchase the ticket at a wrong price but the subway staff could not be bothered to charge me extra and just told me to go ahead. hehehe saved a dollar!
So now I am staying in a newly open hostel and have got 6 beds to myself now. hehehe And there is no fan nor air con in the room but yet I slept so soundly. Good to have autumn is it not.
26th
Started my afternoon but walking around Itaewon and then went to the Express Bus Terminal at Gangnam. There is a shopping area at the basement and it is really cheap! Bought 2 pieces of clothing at 5,000won each :D Would really like to get more but had to stop myself. To make sure I do not get cheated I walked around the huge area like 3 times.
After that I headed to Hangang Park and had a stroll there. Really tired of all the walking then. haha The park is so pretty though!
Wanted to watch the Banpo Bridge light up but I was too early then. Walked towards Sinsa-dong shopping area unknowingly because I saw a huge billboard and it turns out to belong to Forever 21! Gosh I miss it so much while I was at Taiwan. And it is SO MUCH CHEAPER than Singapore! Bought nothing though ughhhhhhs
Window shopped the area and then took the subway to Myeongdong. I was so overwhelmed by the place. I was looking for facial wash and shampoo so I went into all the Korea cosmestic brand stores. To my surprise, every brand actually opened up more than 2 in just Myeongdong alone! So many that I lost track of which one I went into and eventually got embarrassed to walk into anymore stores because I was afraid they would recognise me. haha
And it is a good chance for me to try out those product since I am here. It is so much cheaper than Singapore! And they gives sample haha Pretty sure they are very desperate for sales by the way the staff try to promote their product in different languages and many masks on their hand.
Bought a shampoo from Missha & facial wash from Innisfree, two lesser known brand in SG I think?
As for dinner,
The first picture is a chicken stick and the second one.. I have absolutely no idea what it is. It's fried dough with some chocolate sauce and some other unidentified items. heh Quite delicious still! Especially since I was feeling really hungry then. All I had before these was a bowl of plain udon.
I am too shy to walk into a restaurant and eat dinner alone as of right now so there might be a chance I might slim down haha
Wanted to walk up to the N Seoul Tower but halfway up the hill I turned back because I was afraid I might get lost and will not be able to get help. As I make my way to the subway station there was a yellow bus waiting and apparently it goes to the cable car station heh It's a hint to go up right! On the way up I realise how close I was to reaching the cable car station when I was walking up. Aye
Did not take the cable car though. Just took two pictures of the tower and left. haha Look at my dark circlessss ew
