Seoul 2016: Day 1 - 3

Hi guys I'm finally back from my 8-day long Korea trip!!☺ As promised, I'll be sharing about most of the places I visited as well as the 558 photos (?!?!) taken over the duration of the trip.

This was my first time in Seoul and I really REALLY enjoyed the trip cause there's so much to do and so many places to explore. Honestly 99% of all we did was shop and buy and eat (a lot) but we still had lots of fun!!

We paid $15,000 won ($18) per person to take an airport bus directly to our hotel, Lotte L7 Hotel in Myeongdong. Thing is, the road was blocked cause of the huge protest and the bus dropped us off halfway at a random station quite far from our hotel. :( So we had to lug our luggage and take the train like peasants sigh.

Super happy upon reaching our hotel!! 

Took these vain mirror selfies cause the mirror had lights surrounding it HAHA. 

We were too hungry so once we settled our luggage we made our way to the streets of Myeongdong for dinner! Myeongdong is most famous for their street food so we made sure to try some as well.

Bread baked with egg

Soft-shell crab!!! (HIGHLY recommend)

Our dinner at Red Sun, a Jajang (Army Stew) restaurant. We weren't fans of this cause instead of soup, gravy was used for the stew and it was a little too sweet for our liking.

(FYI: SHINEE's Taemin visited Red Sun before hahaha)

((Secretly Twice trash))

This steak is a must-try!! It's around 8,000 won ($9.60) for a small piece but it is SO GOOD.

Our last snack for the night – grilled octopus skewers

Marina Barrage

Hello! It's been a long while since I last touched this space. Since I've just graduated, I have quite a bit of free time now hehe. Hopefully, I'll be motivated to write more posts!

Just a day before receiving our results, Faith, Shan Min, Keshia and I decided to plan a suuuper belated birthday surprise for Tangjia aka Jia Wen! It was quite a last minute, spontaneous plan but wheee thankfully everything went well.

Pretty Tangjia!

Flower girlie Faithxong

Here's the backstory of Faith holding a bunch of flower petals: We were at Cold Storage buying food for the picnic when we saw a packet of fresh petals for $1.50. We were thinking of using them to decorate the picnic mat (?!) but genius Shants suggested that we use them as a photoshoot prop! So we threw the petals and picked them up after every photo like peasants yay! It was quite embarrassing la cause a few people were watching but #YOLO!

A series of failed jump shots for you to enjoy HAHA. We love to act.

Pls enjoy Shants' constipated face & Faith's over-enthusiasm all in one photo
