My trip to Seoul with Nessa

Nessa and I just came back from Seoul! (Around a month ago oops!)

Details !

Date: 14 - 17 August 2016
Airline: Korean Air
Stayed in Myeongdong, Ekonomy Hotel.

DAY 1: I slept at 9pm. 

We took a midnight flight from Singapore to Korea on a Sunday night. There were plenty of turbulence, which freaked me out a lot. I am just very afraid. 
Our tired but happy faces!


The headphones
Porridge with seasoning <3
There's a pillow and a blanket, a USB charging port to charge your devices and headphones for people who didn't bring their own. They also provided a bag of slippers because it's a night flight. The meals on board was good ! I had porridge for my breakfast.

We land in Incheon in the morning and took our complimentary bus ride to Myeongdong where we head over to our hotel to drop our baggages before roaming around the area.


I love these shells! SO MUCH LOVE FOR THESE. I enjoyed them so so much! 

I LOVE THEM SHELLS
It warms the heart and soul for 5000Won


Then we went to one of their convenience store and got myself my favourite black bean milk or whatever they call it. It's the best! Got some bingsu because we were perspiring a lot. It's summer and the weather is HOT. I finally had Pablo too! Not in Tokyo but in Seoul, the irony!
I'm a food person, so naturally food food food. 
Bingsuuuu (Korean Ice Kacang) 8800 / 12000 Won
STEAK ! 6000Won
Finally Pablo !
Potatooooo 3000Won
We didn't travel a lot during the first day, because I was so tired from the flight Zzz.

DAY 2: GOOD HAIR DAY

Went to get a hair cut and treatment for 170000Won </3
Still, I want to comment that their service is good, but they took my cookie away before I got to it =(
Language barrier.

Before and After
Not sure it's worth the money though. I think they were rather rough with handling my hair, but Nessa enjoyed the head and shoulder massages. For me, it's so rough I think I lost a lot of hair in the process which scares me. It look good like that but wait my hair look like that from the top view.
Woes of being an adult
Yes. I am scared. I just tell myself that my hair will grow.
After an hour or so in the chair, we are done then it was lunch!

Went in a random store to try their cold noodles which Nessa kept raving around.


Side track a bit:

NESSA's MUST TRY KOREAN FOOD
1. Cold Noodles
2. Kimbap (Sushi)
3. Jajiangmyeong (Bean paste noodles)

Coming back to our trip... We managed to eat all of them! =D 



So I finally had kimchi. It was good, not as spicy as those in Singapore leh.

We also went to this green tea store, Osulloc. Nessa was so crazyyyyyyyyyy, she bought herself a lot of tea....... Matcha matcha matchaaaaaaaa.. Understandable, the tea smells good.



Then we continued shopping.....

My hair nice right. HAHA

Then shopped in Ehwa, clothes were relatively cheaper there as compared to Myeongdong. I had fun buying clothes in Ehwa. Value for money!


DAY 3: Chilling

Somehow, we took more photos on day three. HAHA!
We went back to Osulloc to get this green tea (because I really really like the bottle a lot)
Abalone Porridge (13000Won) for brunch
THE BOTTLE SO NICE (5000Won each)

Then we head over to Gangnam area.
In the train to Gangnam
We walked around, there are many cafes around.

I was selfie-ing with my mint chocolate drink, it tastes really good! It's around 8000Won if I remembered correctly.
On the random note, I just find the pigs very cute. 

Then we went back to clear our shopping lists, my food cravings and the drinks we stored in our refridgerator. I even got a trolley bag from skinfood after getting stuff for my relatives. =X
THE BEST
3-5000Won, couldn't remember but it was difficult to eat.
No queue, so just BUY ONLY!
BBQ version (5000Won)
Mango Beer, just because SJK endorses it =D
FREE.
So that's about it.

DAY 4: Time to go home
Woke up to check out, then find food. But first we went to the Myeongdong Cathedral. 

It's so nice to look at. I like the structure of it.

Then our last bingsu before taking the bus to the airport!
Took this at the airport
Dinner with Korean Air


The plan was empty, so I can lie on three seats. HEHE
Overall the trip was fun, I found food that I would come back for!
