this awesome thought just occured to me. 'hey, why dont i update my blog. like korea trip ? hullo ring any bells. dont ppl do that when they have like mountain of stuffs to be read over slash crammed into the gyri of the brain' i hate myself sometimes. (dont worry self hates you too baby)
....i am starting to think that i really do have some problems. up thar. k.
how do i remember things.
tbh i have consumed 2 sachets of nescafe rich and here i am now. sleepy reading over molecular biology techniques. blame the cold weather, blame. so excuse me while i cont to ramble until i get to my main point of ((life)) this important post.
so. 18th may 2013.
e
we landed at incheon airport at 8 am kst or smth (?) and then passed the immig yada yada selca in i!n!c!h!e!o!n! toiletfront while waiting for mom. being uber excited over connecting olleh wifi. like seriously woman. walked around the airport to search for the train to seoul. it took just abt 40 minutes? not to mention i did some camwhoring with hyun bin ('s face on magazine cover) in the train. go tourism go.
arrived at the seoul station and yeah first real taste of seoul man. all the saramdeul. all the convis. the donuts and cafes. next, again me figuring out how to use the goddamn subway ticket machine. it's still the 1st day anyways (yeah, turned out i paid double for the tickets. go figure) we were headed to dongdaemun because duh, our guesthouse was there.
one thing i love most abt seoul is how all the places are all easily accessible. the subway? extensive. i can never understand how people say subway is complicated. i guess it is, when u look on the map ofc berselirat lah kan. but try to understand it, makes life much much easier tbh.
how i wish mara scholarship is up for kor med programme. sigh.
so changed lines and stuffs, ta-dah le infamous dongdaemun.
next next destionation as i planned being the tour planner i was, was namdaemun.
namsan tower and supposedly, namsan market. waited in line for almost 2 hours, (man koreans sure keen to go up there too i am amazed, but no surprise there though) went up with the cable car, picture time!!!11!
(excuse you, one of running man filming sites okaii, ) so ill put up pics later. when im not lazy.
and then namsan market, yeah, well turned out, its my first time in seoul too woohoo. so yeah. kinda lost there. sorry mum inadequacies in research. if its me alone ill just go but, heyyy i am one considerate daughter too. so went to toms and toms instead and then myeongdeong. idek why i was so keen on toms2 tho. maybe its those instas. but then ergh koreans and their cafes addiction. all those yummy things. see theres some good things why i dont get to live there yeaaaap.
ahh myeongdeong. my main target was, everysing lol blame all those kpop oppars. and then again, i kinda forgot that
myeondeong is not the size of alamanda, midvalley even. so yeah got lost again in the midst of the face shop, etude house and holika holika. you one smart female. ended up shopping for....okay i didnt even shop because 1) my main target is nowhere to be found how can i focus on shop-p-ing? 2) the prices of the clothes was sooooo out of my budget. seoul clothes just you wait ill.be.back. 3) yeah busy with photos and stuffs. it was raining even
sooooo no haul that day. wait i dont remember abt mom tho. moving on.
ahh btw in their big subway stations they usually have like this underground shopping complex lol because you know. intersection? so yeah its kinda spacious down thar. and crowded with busy koreans ofc, myeongdeong, what even.
so i found this cd/album/kpop merchs ?? shop there. there were lots of them tho so yeah no sweat.
i was actually just intending to survey the prices. who was i kidding thou. asked for exo m album isseoyeo and boom money is spent. theyre kinda cheap tbh. plus I GOT THE POSTER AWW YEAS. dont remind me of my long and horrendous journey of finding ceci though. god. ahjumma at the stand recognized them tho woots namjadeul woots. like, i asked for ceci, and then 2 copies at that, that ahjumma was like; ahhhh exo ? pfft.
back to myeondeong (dnwr we'll be doing this a lot, really.)
we went to lotte mall because tourists have!to!see!everything!okay!
the stuffs were cool pretty new unattainable all those adjectives lah kan, but as i said out of budget.
so maybe next time sobs
as it was late ,we headed back to dongdaemun with the thoughts to look around there next,
annnnd they're closed for the day. woohoo. so pizza place for late dinner. it was no joke tho. i only had coke, that cafe frappe and bread, and fried cuttlefish. so yeah straved like an elephant. the restaurant was owned by idk i thought theyre mid-easterners but they spoke french. ha. and they made amazing pizza btw. and shrimp burgers. so somehow we went back to le stay-place with fully-occupied hands. oh yeah, the cecis.
so didnt shower cuz cold as whaaaaaat. kemhur with bought stuffs (mom too okay) whatsappedslashjealousified people. and sleep. late.
ok so i think ill cont the rest tmr or something. my inner nerdness is freaking out sheesh yallah boii
