Back to update about part 2 of the trip!Got so caught up with stuffs for the past few weeks like working and catching up on my shows that I didn't watch during the trip.
Until now I still haven't finished catching up yet x__x
Alright back to topic!
DAY 8: 21st May
- Hangang in the morning/afternoon.
- Started from Yeouido Park then rented a bicycle from there and cycled to Hangang
- Hangang river is SO BEAUTIFUL!!
- I really really enjoyed cycling along the river, a pity that we only rented the bicycles for 2 hours
- Weather that day was so hot! Then we chanced upon some place for kids to play water. Dipped our feets in, so shiok!!~~
- Approached by these 2 guys asking me to help them take photos. Hmm..
- Insadong after that. That area is mainly for buying traditional souvenirs
- Bucheok Hanok village after that. The whole place is so pretty (Minus the tourists/locals)
- Phone started acting weird, overheating + battery draining super fast, which lead to half a month of agony (Will explain more later)
Saw a pair of ducks at the park! #SoSweet #RelationshipGoals
The place to play water, there are a lot of families setting up tents at the side and eating ramyeon in the tent lol
Dipped our feet in the water woots
Hangang river! (feat. Seagull)
At the famous alley at the Bucheok Hanok Village!
There are actually people staying in these houses so we have to keep our volume down while walking around.
Chanced upon this great view on our way back while walking through the palace, so pretty!!
DAY 9: 22nd May
- Children Grand Park in the morning/afternoon > Konkukk Uni area + Common Ground
- Inside the Children Grand Park there are lots of different type of zoos like Herbivore, Carnivore, Baby zoo, water animals, snakes and birds etc etc
- As the name suggest it's a place for children so there's like super a lot of children everywhere lols
- Common Ground is a place that sells like branded stuffs and super hipster looking place, reminds me of Scape lols
Saw a Suho ad at the Konkkuk Uni station hehe
At the herbivore zoo! (Think that's lamas)
These are peacocks, I think
These are kangaroos' cousins (Forgot the name LOL) Weather was super sunny that day so a lot of the animals are like resting in the shades.
Meerkats!
Otters, so adorbs
They went into the water and swam to the front *melts*
Some marine animals in the water animals museum
Common Ground!

- Went to the famous BBT cafe that SM artists like to go to (Sehun's favourite drink is actually Taro milk tea!!)
Breakfast + Americano!
At the Kpop Star road, there's like a bear for each group along the road
They are renovating the place into a SUM shop(?), like the one at Coex!

- Rainy in the morning then after that remained super cooling for the rest of the day
- Went a lot of places that day: Insadong > Ihwa > Hongdae > Jjimjilbang > Noraebang (Karaoke)
- Jjinjilbang was a whole new experience cause finally tried their naked in the locker room culture x_x
- They had rooms with different temperatures, only had the guts to try the 50 deg one lols
- There's even a room for sleeping (only for females), super relaxing atmosphere, really almost fell asleep inside LOL
- Went to sing K after that was around $10 for 2 hours as there's some promo
- Their system is all in Korean and there's judging based on how you sing after every songs LOL (I had some songs which I got 0 points and some even 100 o_o)
- Their room is super big there's like 2 levels and you can sit on top and sing also LOL.(Forgot to take pic of the room T____T)
- Not much pics of that day as it's mostly revisiting the places we went before
Fried chicken for lunch! The portion was super huge and we only had 2 of us. The serving was more of like for 3 people and of course we couldn't finish it (Esp the 2 of us had the stomach of a mouse LOL) But still, YUMZ!
DAY 12: 25th May
- Last full day in Korea T____T
- Gwangjang Market > Cheongyecheon stream > Gangnam area > Another dog cafe > Ihwa mural village
Where we ate our breakfast at! The competition was quite tough with so many stalls so the people like keep trying to get us to sit at their tables
Kimbab for breakfast~
At the dog cafe! Big dog but very tamed~
Meanwhile this dog is super fierce, wanted to touch it and it almost bit me
Super cute dog but also don't allow me to touch it. High pitched bark when I wanted to touch it LOL. Moves super slow also, when someone bought treats it was the last one to walk over while the rest of the dogs were already there lol.
On the way to the Ihwa Mural village, needed to climb like a hill which was super tiring x_x (Korea and their steep roads)
One of the murals~
Ate this owl candy which was super hard and had some trouble biting it LOL but it's only like 1000 won?
DAY 13: 26th May
- Back to reality
- Took the Airport Limousine to the airport which is 1000x better than taking the subway
- Landed at SG with a sad and heavy heart (I miss Korea already T__T)
Last meal in korea, burritos~
Bye Korea! It was a well spent 13 days with you, hope to see you again soon!
Went to the Apple repair centre for 3 times because of my phone.
The first time they asked me to update to the lastest software + use the phone as new without restoring backup (Which didn't work)
Second time: Ask me to call AppleCare as they couldn't find any problems with the hardware
After 1 hour with AppleCare, still the same lols
Third time: Finally got to send the phone for repair and monitoring to see if really the battery is draining (It is) which took around 5 to 7 days according to them.
After I left the place, half an hour later they called me to say they found the problem and they will be giving me a new phone, lolol
So much trouble caused, lols.
So that's all for this post (Think it's longer than the previous one LOL)
