Hello, so I've kind of decided to start a sort of fashion/thoughts blog after much thoughts so I hope I don't end up boring people heheh, I apologise if I do though.. But mainly for my first post I'm going to blog about my Korea Trip or what I can remember about it! I went for almost 2 weeks from April 1st to the 11th and I kind of paid for the trip by myself so I tried my best to control my spending.. HAHAH and of course I went with my Korean language classmate so it was just the two of us though I always went around Seoul myself.
So I was the idiot who turned up at the airport on the 1st at 630am
with basic makeup hahah ikr talk about being vain, I only realised that it was pointless
when my friend was just wearing her specs..
 |
| The view from the plane was absolutely amazing. |
 |
| This was the first picture I took after landing in Seoul! Hahah it was right outside my guesthouse, I stayed at DongDaeMun 24 Guesthouse (: I dont have anyway pictures of that place but I would really recommend it especially since it has a great location and is fairly decent for what I paid. |
 |
What I miss the most, STREET FOOD ):
|
 |
| Another thing that I really love about Korea is that you can eat in their public transports! Imagine being able to just eat breakfast in the train WHICH I TOTALLY DID EVERYDAY HAHAH its just so convenient and their snack food like their kimbap and the thingy that I ate was so ingeniously packaged. |
 |
| 1st ever OOTD in Korea right beside Hongdae's Stylenanda. (: |
 |
| Dinner for two heheh |
 |
| Lunch the next day at this random cafe we found in Sinchon! |
 |
| OOTD right outside Ehwa's Women's University. It was freezing cold that hot chocolate I was drinking was my lifesaver heheh, but I drank it too fast burning my tongue HAHAH |
 |
| OOTD again at the subway station (: Forgive my uneven coloured legs heheh |
 |
| Followed my friend to Yesung's cafe - Mouse Rabbit (: AND YES I MANAGED TO CATCH A GLIPSE OF SUJU'S YESUNG heheh he was sitting in the cafe so I saw him from afar (: |
 |
| Selfie at night heheh |
 |
| My favourite picture from Korea (: I took off my coat right the DongDaeMun Design Center dumped my stuff and shamelessly took my OOTD HEHEH it was such an experience though! |
 |
| I WAS SO IN LOVE WITH THEIR HOT GREEN TEA LATTE <3 |
 |
| OOTD at the stairs outside my guesthouse (: |
 |
| Lunch at the Garousu-gil district at 'School Food'. I tried their cream rice cake with bacon, it was delicious but super filling. |
 |
| Alone shopping around the DongDaeMun district at around 2am and trying the potato hotdog which was so so so good. Its like an amazing combination (: |
 |
| Morning Selfie (: |
 |
| OOTD again outside Hongdae's stylenanda this time (: I couldn't help it, I went to stylenanda at least 5 times in total HAHAH |
 |
| My random shot in the subway because when will I ever get a chance to bring hot coffee into the train. |
So I wanted to go visit the Han River at least once so I bravely just went alone and decided to just figure me way as I went, I kind of alighted one station later and ended up having to walk across this enough park in order to get to the Hangang but then again how often do I get to explore another country right? Oh, and did I mention I wore platforms my entire trip which I bought in Korea HAHAH I think I covered at least 5km in those shoes!
 |
| Climbed onto this structure and took a pano of part of the Hangang and the bridge (: |
 |
| I was walking along the park and I saw a TV production crew filming! HEHEH |
 |
| A couple were feeding the seagulls (: |
 |
| Along the Hangang River ((: |
 |
| Yeapps, took that pano while eating my kimbap (: hahah |
 |
| At Suju's Donghae's Mexican Restaurant 'Grill 5 Taco' (: I'm not exactly a big fan of mexican food but WOW the food there was amazing, its at Gangnam so do try it out if you're there (: |
So this is just going to be a long spam of photos I took at the famous Gyeongbokgung Palace because I just wandered around for about 2hrs alone like typical tourist (:
 |
| Dinner at Myeong Dong (: it was like 3 different types of spiciness! Hahah the naengmyun is so not my kind of food though, it takes a really long time to chew I ended up just swallowing it.... The kimchi in Korea was obviously of a certain standard and the chicken was just addictive (: |
 |
| Back again at 'Mouse Rabbit' to have their Green Tea Latte again and I shared their honey toast that my friend recommended as well! If you're a lover of sweet things like me, it tastes like heaven (: |
 |
| My final OOTD inside the palace in which this nice malaysian took for me (: |
 |
| Details for that day! |
 |
| And finally ofc, my bare face to end off my longgggggg post hahah |
It was seriously an experience to travel there again especially this time without my parents and exploring around by myself (: I do speak a basic korean pretty well so it wasn't hard for me to converse with the people there although there were quite a number of people who assumed that my friend and I were koreans HEHEH such a compliment okays! I totally agree that the amount of good looking people is significantly higher than Singapore though (:
In total I spent around 2.4K in Korea with about 1k for flight and lodging (: I would say that I did spend a lot of money because I went there with a luggage weighing 8kg and came back with 16kg hahah, I took Cathay Pacific and it was a transfer flight stopping in HongKong (; There were many things I missed talking about that happened in Korea because well, I can't ft 10 days of experience here if not this post would be endless hahah, but thanks for reading (:
Till the next post.. (:
