96: Korea (III)

I AM BACK!!!!!!!

Originally planned to only have three posts because I'm a lazy bum, but after filtering through the photos it'd be picture + word heavy if I put everything in one post.

To be completely honest, I kind of lost track of what we did on a daily basis.. BUT all of these photos were taken with my phone, so YES I HAVE THE DATES



Paju Premium Outlets, 17 December 2013
We travelled 1.5 to 2 hours out of Seoul to get to Paju, which was kind of fun I guess. Paju is gigantic, and I bought a bulk of my purchases on impulse.. I mean, I don't regret buying them at all but I should've put more thought into buying them? I took this photo when we were about to leave and were taking a short rest. 
The ride back into Seoul was close to 2.5 hours because traffic in Korea is crazy. The expressway has about 6 lanes and I'm pretty sure we were travelling at 30km/h... 
(also, I didn't bring along my earpiece, so that was terrible.)

We got back to the hotel around 8, 830pm and went out again for dinner before calling it day.
This photo is of Jade *casually* reaching across my bed to use her phone that was charging. She stayed there for about 20 minutes hahahaha ok sorry random hotel room stories

Myeongdong, 18 December 2013

I really, really love Myeongdong.
 


It's a pity I forgot to take a photo of this, but there are about 5 stores of the same cosmetic brand in that entire area, maybe even more. It's quite ridiculous really, but what's even more ridiculous? The prices. Typically, I don't really wear make-up but I do wanna try wearing it more often? (Translation: Skin's been crap lately, need to conceal dem flaws #stillflawsometho) 

Also, F21 in Korea (imo) is significantly cheaper than in Singapore. On my first trip to F21 in Myeongdong I spent about 140SGD on 12 items, which works out to about 11SGD per item. WHERE TO FIND IN SINGAPORE?!?


After Myeongdong, we went down to the BWCW Store again... Not saying this in the capacity of a fan, but I really like the atmosphere there. I don't even know how to explain it? I'm really so glad I got to go thrice and yes we went again after this but will be explained in next post.
Went round the corner to Garosu-gil to find our friends, but they weren't there so we left for our hotel.



Gwangjang Market/Itaewon/Apgujeong, 19 December 2013

We went to Gwangjang market, and it was a cool experience. Didn't expect much and I was sincerely hoping it wasn't a wet market kind of market. When we got there (with much difficulty), I was shocked... and happy. Bc food is everything.


SPICY RICE CAKES I MISS YOU SO


Ok so looking at this photo it looks kind of gross, but this seaweed + fishcake soup was super tasty!!!


Didn't get to try this, but it looked interesting. So.

This was really good....... I don't even know what the ingredients were, but I could only taste potato and bean sprouts. There was definitely some other ingredient/condiment, but I have NO clue till this day. 

After Gwangjang market, we went to Itaewon (no photos) which was kinda sian bc most of the stalls weren't really open yet as we went in the afternoon.
 Then, we went to Apgujeong to shop and the photo below was of Galleria, which was really pretty :(
(I miss Korea so much :()

Went back to the hotel and this is us being step with our beanies.


Korea (IV) will be up in 1-2 days? I took almost 1.5 hours to edit and do this post so I might get really lazy to do part 4 but I try my best la give me chance ok
