Merry Christmas from Korea!!!
Started the day off by eating the cake as our breakfast...but W didn't like the cake very much.
Christmas day calls for Christmasy outfits!
Santa headband from Daiso at W1,000!
Our destination for the day was N-Seoul Tower....we walked from our hotel at Myeongdong to the cable car station. It was about a ten minutes walk, and we're glad the weather was cold.
Wearing my new oil slick Jeffrey Campbell Litas out!
Passed by a pretty coffee house..
Everywhere in Seoul is good photo opportunity!
Yay we're almost there!!
Here's the cable car station to go up to Namsan Tower!
The thing about buying entrance tickets in Seoul is that they don't print individual tickets for each pax...
There was a queue for the cable car, I guess it was crowded cos it's Christmas. But we're on the way up!
Snow-filled mountains..
Reached!!
Ahhh, so beautiful!!!!!
There were street artists...
As if filming a Korean drama~
The ambassador for Seoul...
Going up to explore!
And finally, the famous love locks of Namsan Tower, Seoul!!
Please don't throw the keys down the tower~
Massive number of love locks...EVERYWHERE!!
Happy to be here with you!
We had lunch at The Best Burger in Seoul! It was good indeed...the fries were so good.
A happy bear with a happy burger!
Cheeeeseburger.
We went to buy our love locks at a shop nearby, it was W12,000 for a pair. We bought the pink ones.
Here it is! We locked it onto a lamp post...
Trying to take a #wefie with our lock, lol.
And we went up to Namsan Tower!
Buying assorted candy from a shop inside.
View from above, there was also a weird smell inside the tower....too many tourists maybe??
LEGO sweet!
Nothing much at Namsan, so we took a bus down to City Hall and took the subway to Ewha to shop!
Piping hot street snack for the cold weather? WANT.
If you were wondering, the girl in the red coat was trying to pull her boyfriend away from the shot because W was trying to take a photo of me.
Entered this shop and the sales assistants were so friendly!! Managed to converse in a little Korean with them.
We TOTALLY DID NOT plan our poses!! :D
This girl is also very friendly, but maybe because I bought a fur coat from her. She gave me a discount from the tagged price of W75,000 to W45,000 :O
Not much photos from our trip to Ewha because we were busy shopping and walking around. We didn't see Ewha University either. Did we walk the wrong stretch or something!?!? So we headed to Sinchon..
As we walked around the area, there were sooooo many people taking photos with the lighted structures on the streets that there were queues all around. EVERYONE WAS TAKING SELFIES, nobody gave a damn. Of course, we had to join in the fun!
We went to Sinchon for.....this!! Pal-saik Samgyeopsal, which means eight flavoured pork BBQ.
This restaurant was not easy to find and we had to get help from a guy from a cafe nearby.
The trip here was totally worth it! Introducing the eight flavors of pork, all ready for the BBQ! The flavors were ginseng, wine, pine leaves, garlic, herb, curry, miso paste and hot! I actually like the wine one.
The set comes with a complimentary pot of soup and side dishes.
NOTHING, NOTHING at all beats having hot soup after walking around in the cold night!!
Meat portions look small but they were definitely enough for the both of us!
Samgyeopsal heaven, we both agree this is the most memorable food experience in Seoul!
Having samgyeopsal the way I like it, lettuce, garlic and soy bean paste!
Our first makgeolli, rice wine! But we didn't like it at all...HAHAHA.
After dinner, we cabbed back to Prince Hotel at Myeongdong... What a filling end to our Christmas in Seoul!
