Seoul Day 5| Gangnam/Hongdaae

January 31, 2019 1
Seoul Day 5| Gangnam/Hongdaae
So this happened. Also our last day together. Went to the forest first because I don’t even know. Not something I would want to go to but oh well! I’m glad I was able to go though. At least I know what’s up and to not go again next time.



Seoul Forest is not at all entertaining. I bet they have things going on here once in a while but the timing was sure horrible.



Ate jajangmyeun because why not? We were supposed to eat it when we were in Myeongdong but lobster is life. 


SO delicious! Also cheap! 



Common Ground was okay. Lots of indie brands and very nice stuff. I should have gotten myself something from here but oh well. Too old for buying things I don't really need.



I hear yah. 



It's actually the first night of illumination...the day we went but we didn't stay long. I actually wonder why but oh well. 

Nice

The bookstore that we don’t know anything about. 



SME. Notice me. Charot! 



Han River. It would be really nice to walk around the area. Next time. Will there be a next time?

Hongdae! It was wild! I loved the area. Too many talents just all over the place. This I would go back to definitely. Also the Gangnam area is kind of nice.



Delicious! Pero bitin. I swear I can eat this by my own! :) 


Delicious!



Hongdae! My kind of place.


Ended the day with a cup of hot chocolate. It was overall a nice trip with the crew. It was a very nice experience and I wouldn’t want it in any other way. Thank you everyone. Ciao!

Seoul Day 4 | Haneul Park/Shopping

January 29, 2019 0
Seoul Day 4 | Haneul Park/Shopping
Seolnongtang, Haneul Park, DDP, Dongdaemun, and Myeongdong. First, Haneul Park. 


The place where we went to eat the food. We kind of waited for like 20 minutes to get in. I wonder why. 

cool ambiance though

This is what you see even before you get seated. Cool that they’re efficient. 


The seolnongtang place that we went to is in Hongdae area. Not bad! Although not something I would want to have again because of it’s very plain flavor. It’s just me guys don’t panic.


Haneul Park


Interesting for photos but ya know, probably not somewhere I'd go to. It may seem like all I do is complain but trust me I am very thankful for the tour. 

who would have thought?

Haneul Park. Talahib in tagalog. Yes bes. Talahib. I don’t know why we went but it was fun! Picture galore! Thank you Josie for being the most creative photographer/person ever. I will never forget you. 


I haven’t been to DDP so it was kind of refreshing in a sense. I don’t remember what we did there actually. I just remember eating soondae and oden but can't see a picture of it on my files. So yeah. What I know about this is that the designer is kind of famous and the Hong Kong girls wanted to see the place. I also know that they designed a university in the Philippines. Can’t pinpoint which and I don’t want to Google because I’m not that fake of a Blogger. Also not helpful of a Blogger. Hahaha

But I sure remember this. Yummeh! 


Dongdaemun was okay. I don’t really have anything that I like there much I think. Like, been there done that. 

DDM
coffee in DDM

Myeongdong was fun though!! Likey. I like Myeongdong for some reason. Did I spend too much? Maybe? Is it worth it? Hell yes. Collective haul soon! 

DINNER

FOOD


For what it's worth though I think the food is decent. 

YUMMEH

If you would remember, this is where we got “scammed”. 

MYEONGDONG night market
Heaven

Lobster tail


I had to. It was alright. 


Coffee. Just perfect to end the day.


That’s all. For some reason, before blogging this, I thought I wouldn’t have much to share but it turns out I have a lot of things to share. I mean, even just pictures and small details. Ciao!

Seoul Day 3 | Everland

Seoul Day 3 | Everland


The highlight of my trip. But a lot of the attractions I’m looking forward to ride are closed. But anyways. I still enjoyed it. False weather report too because they said it’s gonna be warmer that day but in my mind I was like, away from the city and higher so that can’t be right so I dressed as per usual. Everland is beautiful. All I can think of is I want to go with my sisters here. 


EVERLAND 


I can't point out what the theme is all about. Maybe like a ruined palace and stuff. Also maybe that's not it so whatever, yeah? You know what? I should definitely bring meclizine next time because girl!! I'm old.

They have everything in there! Zoo and all that. So yeah. It’s kind of nice because the oldies can enjoy the other parts while the young ones waste their life riding deadly rides. Ha.


Tiny tiny human 

first ride






Subtle but maybe mixed up my brain cells and all that. 






heart


snack time


the ride that killed us because of the cold 




Let me tell you something about winter in Korea. There’s no such thing as overdressing. LAYER IT UP BUTTERCUP. 







This. Good. Corn snack should be a thing in Disneyland too! 



Yas





ALPINE VILLAGE








The garden place is kind of my favorite spot because it’s just refreshing. Also, that’s where the umbrella heaters are. Wasted a lot of our time there! It wouldn’t have happened if I were with my OG crew. Oh well. 










What I like about this place or Korea in general is that they play Christmas Songs. Like, yes babe! Sing me some carols! 










I mean, right? I feel like that I’m the only one who appreciates the view.







YAS



DOUBLE YAS



COLD AF




Kim and I







Garden thingy. I bet this would really look good in Spring since they have legit roses and flower plants going on.






PARADE




SANTA



NIGHT PARADE







The parade. Subtle. But. Nice. The parade at night is a version of Disney’s Electrical Parade I think. It was soo cold that night but the lights sure warmed everything up. It’s nice. 






IT ALL LOOKS SO GOLDEN AND NICE








The fireworks sure lit up the sky. So nice. Me likey. That’s all! I bet this place would be more magical in the spring or maybe like autumn. Winter is not so bad though but yeah. 











They also have a very nice illumination going on! Which I liked very much. I will surely be back here because I feel like I haven’t utilized the place yet. Like, I feel like I still have a lot to see and experience. 







Pretty






Ciao!
