Korea Travelogue; Day 6

I'm finally writing the last day of my Korea Travelogue, after 6 months that is... LOL!

So anyways, I was scrolling through instagram and I saw so many people posting pictures of their Korea Trip! SUPER ENVIOUS CAN!!! Somemore its snowing in Korea now, I'm so dying to be right there now!!!

Okay, I digress a little bit, lets focus the main point of this post. The itinerary on Day 6 is actually to keep our travel area nearby cuz its  our last day, and we had to get to the airport by 8pm++. So we actually stayed around Myeong Dong area for the whole time. Explored the Namsan Seoul Tower, and we did our last minute shopping at Myeong Dong area.

We got our usual Isaac Toast for breakfast and my Banana Milk! (I MISS MY ISAAC TOAST T.T) before heading up to the Namsan Seoul Tower. As this was my virgin trip to Korea, Andy suggested taking me to tour around the tower as it is a iconic tourists attraction in Seoul Korea. 

We climbed up the damn slope which is probably slightly steeper than 45 degree? I was panting my life away when I was climbing the slope. LOL!

Finally, we reached the place where the cable car. It takes passengers all the way up to the place where the tower is located without having to climb any more stairs.

The cable car tickets return trip costs 8500 Won per person, so its around $10.60?++

We reached the top of the hill and I was floored by the amazing view. The locks, the place and URGHHHH! It's just so amazing!!!!

So as I was touring around, I separated myself from Andy, cuz I want to have my own moment there. I was immersing myself wholeheartedly into the atmosphere. Like I was in some K-Drama. LOLOLOL!!!

I'm really amazed at just how some people will find ANY ways they could to place their locks. Hahaha! Some people even lock their mobile phone cases together. Kinda cute and creative IMO.

And so, since its my first time at Korea, and I doubt I'll be there anytime soon again, I thought why not I get myself a padlock to lock it over there as well?! HAHAHA!

After walking around and finding the perfect spot, I finally settle on the place where I wanna place my lock at. Tadahh! At the lamppost. And after you're done locking your padlock, you just throw your keys into this little red metal thingy. LOL!

Their benches are designed in a V shape so that you both parties will slide to the middle and eventually sit side by side each other. Here's to the #ForeverAlone me.

Before we left the Seoul Tower for Myeong Dong, we took a mandatory shot with the tower. TADAHH! ♥

We ended off our tour at Namsan Seoul Tower and took the cable car back to ground floor. Took a photo of the crowd before embarking on our final journey/walk at Myeong Dong.

Actually, the remaining photos you see will just be food cuz we are gluttons like that! Hahah! But really, what is there to talk about when it comes to shopping??? Hahaha!

After we're done shopping, we had our dinner at some local restaurant. Army Stew again!!! Couldn't get enough of Army Stew cuz its so dirt cheap and nice in Korea! TMD Singapore sells so expensive!!! Daylight Robbery lor!!!

After our dinner we carried on with a bit more of shopping and then we went back to our hostel to collect our luggages (and also to pack our barangbarangs into the luggage la).

We bid goodbye to our room, our hosts and the hostel before we leave to catch the bus to Incheon International Airport.

Do bear in mind that you have to keep 10,000 won with yourself because you NEED IT for the transport fare back to the airport.

I'M FLYING TO KOREA!!!

Hello everyone!!! I'm finally done with my exams and I'm probably at the airport now or maybe on my way there already!! As you guys have hears about me rambling about my trip. YES! I'M FLYING TO KOREA IN A FEW HOURS!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!

Throughout the whole process it's been tough. I still remember I had to deal with the "kind of slow" service from Scoot customer service. But everything is going smoothly now. Going back when I just won myself a trip for 2 to Korea at the finale of Kpop Starhunt 3! Hahahah! What a surprise!!!



Months have passed and I'm finally flying over there!!! Kudos to Andy for doing all the planning and stuff! He's super good at all the planning. Just like my Taiwan trip last year, my kind friend did all the planning and stuff and all I did was just camwhore and shop! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

This trip, I'll be going to some of the main attractions such as Lotte World, Everland, Trick Eye Museum, Seoul Tower, and many more!!! For our accommodation, we're staying at Seoul Tower Hostel, which I'll go into further details after I'm back from the trip. Hahaha!!

Total damage for the air fare, accommodation etc is about $360 (Air Fare) + $422 (Accommodation) for 2 person la, so you just divide it by 2 and that's how much each of us paid for.

I won the return trip for 2 during the finale of Kpop Starhunt 3, that explains why the ticket is so cheap. But eventhough it stated a free return trip ticket, you'll still need to pay for the air tax and stuff. But still, its worth it la!!! Cuz I checked the prices for the air tickets to Korea, each person is around $500 - $700 leh!!! Siao!!!
