The day we both did not want to come because it means we would be leaving Korea and our holiday was ending and it was back to reality. Last meal in Seoul We slept in a little longer and we had our brunch at a nearby restaurant to where we were staying before proceeding to the airport. We were a good 3 hours earlier than our flight so we had time to spare in the airport. People dressed in Hanbok walking around the airport We caught a quick glimpse of people strolling in Hanbok, giving a nice Korean cultural experience. Banana Milk Could not resist having a last bottle of banana milk before departing from Seoul... Dinner on the plane Even the rice on the plane was nice! Dessert! Flight experience was great and the 6 hours flight passed quickly as I was watching the Heirs on my journey back to Singapore... the drama that kept me company on the plane - the HEIRS!!!

Our last FULL day in Seoul and much excitement awaits! First stop - Lotte World Amusement Park! Entrance into Lotte World! Oh well I wasn't as excited as Ms. K for the amusement park as I wasn't a full-on amusement park fans since I didn't quite like taking rides...

Summarising our day 5, basically it's Shopping > Nanta Show > More Shopping! Our first stop of day 3 in Seoul was Namdaemun! I preferred it much more than Dongdaemun! Definitely a great place to get especially your souvenirs from Korea! Found their kids entry at the station rather cute It was the Christmas season so there were Christmas trees when we exit from the station Streets of Namdaemun The shop where we got most of our loots from! The shop shown above sold ginseng, nice-tasting variety flavours of seaweed and my favourite of all was the honey citron tea! The pouch versions are good for making tea or you can simply apply it as jam on your bread and it would taste just as nice! Because we bought quite a lot from them, they gave us free hand-carry sized bags which was super useful as we had over-purchased and our luggage was running out of space... This is the honey citron tea which I bought We only spent less than an hour shopping before
