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

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

Once we were done exploring Common Ground, we headed to a cafe (Daelim Changgo) nearby the next Seongsu station (about 8 mins walk away).

Dream Come True 2013 - Day 4 in Korea - Seoul (13 Dec 2013, Friday)

Image
Onto our second day in Seoul, one which we would probably theme it the cultural experience of Seoul! First stop of our itinerary was the Bukchon Hanok Village... I have heard a lot about the village, that it is one of the districts in Korea filled with traditional type of Korean houses, otherwise known as Hanok. The main thing that attracted me to this place of interest was the photo spots. There are basically 8 photo spots which would take you through a tour through the village, where you would find the 8 distinctive spots to photograph the beautiful, rich in history Bukchon Hanok Village. How to get there? Alight at Anguk Station (Seoul Subway Line 3). From Exit 2, go straight for about 300m to arrive at Bukchon Hanok Village. There is an information counter whereby you can get maps of various languages and there are guides along the way to ensure that you are on the right track. The hike around the village should took us about 1.5 hours (that was 7 spots covered), so it wo...

Layover in Tokyo, Japan (25 Jun 2018)

Image
In my recent business trip to San Jose, I transited at Tokyo, Japan for my connecting flight to Los Angeles. That also gave me my first opportunity, or excuse rather, to visit Japan, finally! I have heard so much about this city, but being there, felt surreal! So my flight to Tokyo (HND) was due to arrive at 5.50am but it landed 1/2 hour earlier instead! So that gave me an extra 1/2 hour in Japan! Hooray!!! 😆 And the first experience of punctuality! The flight I took from Singapore to HND was Japan Airlines and I have to say I'm impressed! It is one of the healthier choice you can get for airplane food! In flight meal - look at the green tea!!! And the rice was super tasty too! Just before landing, the air stewardess gave us the arrival cards to fill in. There are 2 forms to be filled in.  Front Back Upon arrival, follow the arrival sign to clear customs.  The queue to clear immigration was super long so it took me a good 45 mins before I manage...

Kind Notice: This is a PHOTO-HEAVY BLOG POST... Our hotel room in Flamingo Hotel by the Beach came with buffet breakfast, so we delighted ourselves in the variety of food made available. Flamingo Cafe - time for breakfast! Chicken Porridge  Somehow always found that Malaysia does their porridge very well and I've always liked it... Prawn noodles The prawn noodles was a bit bland in our perspective. Western choices Have to admit that they did their chicken sausages really well that we went back for another serving... Cereal time! I am personally not a fan of cereals but I have somehow fell in love with cereals after this trip! Fruits Ended our breakfast with healthy fruits! Then we went back up to the hotel room, took our luggage down and prepared to check out and headed off to George town, Penang. The ride cost us RM25 (SGD$9.70~).  Cititel PENANG Panoramic view of the hotel room View from our hotel room EXPLORE GEORG...
