4th day of korea was on 3rd July, 1 day before the day which will mark our 3rd year together. That day was also one day before the start of APPS. Anticipated tt we won't have the chance to celebrate on the day itself, we decided to bring the celebration forward.
On arriving back in seoul, we checked in to hotel M. haha most comfortable hotel we had in korea! =p. Huge room, own computer, big bathroom etc etc.
The national assembly just outside hotel M
After settling down, we headed towards insadong AGAIN. This time, to make a surprise gift for mum since her birthday is around the corner. We spent a couple of hours there, ate yummy and economical simpo woori mando, before we went to seoul tower (the highlight of the day) =)
Simpo Woori Mando! This photo was taken before i tried the noodles. Buckwheat noodles.
Cold, sour and sticky!! Not my favourite =p
Look at the spread!! Kimchi stew, fried dumpling (thumbs up!) and cheese cutlet!
*buckwheat noodles was kicked out of the photo. Ooops!*
Seoul tower =)
We got to the top of the mountain via a cable car (The famous one in korean dramas hahaha), and managed to catch the view of seoul before and after sunset!! Our main objective was to put our customized lock onto the fence surrounding seoul tower. There were millions of locks there! It was so difficult to find a spot haha.
The key of the lock was thrown down the mountain so that nobody can ever open that lock haha. Aren't koreans creative and romantic? heehee =p They even had walls for couples to doodle on and leave messages! It was fun doing those things which we'll never get to do in sg. Besides, they provide evidence that we've been to korea! Maybe in years to come, we'll return to reminisce. =) After we were done, we took the elevator up seoul tower to the viewing gallery. Breathtaking night sky. We were at the top of seoul! Took lots of photos and had blueberry yoghurt ice-cream from ' A twosome place' Yummy!! I want the cafe to come to sg!
The han river
Seoul Tower is just walking distance from another famous shopping area, Myeongdong.
Myeongdong!!
Of course, the shopaholic in me did not give it a miss! I bought 3 bags on that night hahahaha. Poor darling had to carry it around for the rest of our 16 days in korea =pp Also got myself belts and tee shirts. Korea's a shopping paradise~!! Cheap and good!!
I didn't have much time that night cos we had to catch the last train. So~ I went back the next day! wahahahaha! Stay tuned for more! I have no idea when i'll finish blogging my 20 days in korea. I'll take my time! cos recalling the memories even after school starts will keep me motivated to mug hard =) two more days to the start of school!
