Winter in Korea 2019: Day 5: Seoul (Last Sunday of 2019)

So we have come to the last Sunday of 2019 and of course we weren't going to miss church!!!

We met with Ms J at Hongik University (Exit 1) at 10am (but we miscalculated the time so Ms P and I arrived late πŸ˜•. We wanted to check out Fifty-Fifty cafe at first but it's close so we had a quick breakfast at Holly's Coffee.


Then we walked to L7 Hongdae and took the lift up to level 21 to get to where the church is. 
We visited Lifehouse Seoul. Service starts at 11am on Sundays.

Then we walked to Sinchon (a pretty long walk) to get lunch and dessert.



Sinchon



So glad we walked into this restaurant (unplanned) and had a really good meal of pork rib soup (κ°μžνƒ•). Usually I'm not a big fan of pork rib but this tasted so good!





★★★★★
Chamimat (Sinchon) - turn right at Exit 3 and walk for about 7 mins, you should see it on your left hand side.

And it definitely brings warm to this cold weather. Then we went opposite to Olive Young to shop a bit before we headed for dessert. 



We dropped by Olive Young and Ms J introduced this toothpaste to us and say this was good so we both bought one to try. 

And the highlight of bring them to this area is to bring them to my favourite BingSu place that I've been to 6 years ago and I was so happy that it is still here! And the quality has not dropped any bit!




Wifi

★★★★★
Homilbat (Exit 3 walk about 8 mins, on your right)
43 Sinchonyeok-ro

And we shopped around a bit more in the cosmetics shops before we headed to the train station. 

Exit 3 (Sinchon)

Follow this street if you want to find places mentioned above

We took the train to Euljiro-3-ga exit 8. Once you come out of the exit, you should see the Myeongbo Art Hall. 



We went up to Level 3 with the intention to watch JUMP (6pm, Sunday) show at first. But we were 1.5 hours early to get tickets. 




So we went down to B3 instead to check out FIREMAN to see if they have last minute available tickets and they did!


Entrance

VIP tickets at 30% discount!!!



So near to the stage

They were all so good!!!

Super recommend if you need a good laugh on your trip! The last time I watched Nanta, and I feel this is so much more engaging than Nanta (not sure if it is because the theatre is smaller and we were much nearer to the stage) but I like how there were a lot more surprise element than expected! 

Then Ms J headed home to rest and Ms P and I went to Ewha University for more shopping!!!
 





Chanced upon KOS MARKET

wow the toothpaste Ms J was telling us about on sale

We also went into BAVIPHAT which sells a lot of snacks and cosmetics at discounted price.







Somehow shopping along Ewha University reminds me a lot of Shi-Da Night Market (εΈ«ε€§ε€œεΈ‚) in Taipei. Is it because they are lined up for University students? 

And finally we headed back home and we grabbed a quick "dinner" next to the BBQ place we went yesterday. 

Did I mention I really like this drink?

Watching Korean TV without subtitles while waiting for our food 

While we waited for our food, we were "watching" the Korean reality TV show 썸바디2 (SOMEBODY S2). Looks not bad! Maybe I should check it out when I'm free. 

Ms P seafood beef noodles - so tasty the soup!!!

I had the KOREAN BLACK BEAN SAUCE NOODLES (JAJANGMYEON) but it was a little too sweet for the liking

And we headed home to rest up for the night.

First HOLIDAY of 2018 ~ HONG KONG DAY 4 - Day Trip to Shunde ι‘ΊεΎ·

Image
And we're at Day 4 of our trip. And finally we're travelling out of HK!!!  If you were to ask if for my favourite highlight for the trip, it would have to be Shunde ι‘ΊεΎ·. We didn't get much done in a day but the whole feel of the city is one that I like. Their pace is not as rushed as Hong Kong and it seems that the people appreciate life better. How to get tickets to Shunde ι‘ΊεΎ·?  We bought our tickets from China Travel Services, but I believe you may be able to get the tickets online too. We had to pay an admin fee of 12 HKD when we purchase our tickets through China Travel Services. One way ticket to Shunde will cost HKD 240 each (~SGD41). The ferry timings are 8.30am , 9.30am , 11.00am , 3.00pm and 6.00pm . We departed our hotel at about 7.15am, took the cab to China HK City, which took us just 15 mins ride from our hotel. And since we had time, we headed over to MacDonald's for breakfast before we boarded the ferry. China Ferry Terminal Entrance

Dream Come True 2013 - Day 1 (of 7) in Korea - Jeju-do (10 Dec 2013, Tuesday)

Image
After procrastinating for a good one month after returning from this all-time favourite trip of my life (well at least up until 2013), I have FINALLY settled down to blog about it... When I was researching for my trip, I was very thankful for the travel bloggers who blog about their trips so we can have handy tips and advise for people planning their trips abroad, especially to places they would be visiting for the first time. And that was what also inspired me to start this blog. Well, where does the story begin? This was sparked off by my uncle's girlfriend (p.s. my uncle is not old, just for the record, something which I think his girlfriend is very insistent because apparently in the natural world, many people would assume uncles are like 30 plus 40, so he is just 7 years older than me, not yet in his 30s). About two months ago (three weeks before the trip), she whatsapp me one morning and asked if we would like to go to Seoul for a year end holiday. Well it wasn't like

Winter in Korea 2019: Day 7: Seoul (Last Day of 2019)

Image
We were thankful that we could get an extension to check out at 3pm so we headed out to a few spots before we leave Seoul today. Since Sinseol-dong is part of the Line 2, we were aiming to take direct line to Samseong. The line stopped at Seongsu and we didn't know we were supposed to transfer to another platform to be on the same line. We ended up on the line towards City Hall, and we alighted at Wangsimni station. When we were transiting, we noticed this bakery (and considering that we were hungry), we bought this yummy garlic bread! Such a good Garlic Bread (with cheese and egg) - at 3900 won Then we went on our way to Seolleung station to change to Samseong station. Follow the signage to lead you to COEX mall COEX Mall COEX Library Then we took the train to Passing by Han River Commonground Pretty Rainbow Cakes   Once we were done exploring Common Ground, we headed to a cafe (Daelim Changgo)
