    Myeongdong | When in Seoul

    Myeongdong | When in Seoul






    I know I've mentioned already but I'm gonna say it again anyways. I liked Myeongdong better than Dongdaemun. I don't know. I feel like it's nicer to shop around here. With the lights and all! Dongdaemun is okay though. No hate!








    I liked the vibes. It reminds me of Izesakicho in Yokohama. Kind of chill and all that.










    Beauty haven! I liked it. Skin care shops here and there and I can't complain. No wonder Koreans have good skin. Great skin actually. This is where I got all the beauty stuff I took back home. 







    These are too cute to miss







    Also, I noticed that juicing is kind of a thing there. Like, I saw strawberries, lemons, oranges, and loads of other fruits ready for juicing. 







    Meeting the celebrity





    The guy who can speak Filipino. I watched the video and I actually didn't know that it was in Myeongdong. But anyways. I saw him in action. From afar. That's all. Ciao!

    Seoul Tower | When in Seoul

    Seoul Tower | When in Seoul





    When I graduated in university, I kept a journal where I would want to go when I'm in Seoul and stuff that has something to do with the travel in general. I remember that I wanted to walk my way up this tower entrance. Wrong! 










    I'm so glad I knew better! First, we don't have much time. Second, we don't really know how. Third, buddy's feet hurt. Fourth, it's so hassle and mataas at ayaw namin mapagod. Hahaha so yeah riding the cable car up was the best decision we've made that time.

    Hello Tower







    It's a tower above a mountain so you know it's really pretty high up there. This one is the view from when we got out the cable car. Already pleasing, right?







    Seoul Sunset







    Love locks! Couples usually lock their whatever here in hope that no one's gonna be able to break through it or something. I wonder how many souls regret what they did before. I mean, I'm pretty positive that the locks there and the promises made are not up to date. I'm not bitter in any sense. Come to think of it. 










    It's actually so overrated that they just lock it wherever they see fit. Hahaha

    So yeah when you reach the end of the cable car ride, that's actually where the entrance of the Tower is. Hola! 










    They do have different promos available and we got the one with popcorn and drink. They even serve beers there for some reason.

    Selfie again




    Gorgeous view







    I actually really planned to go at around this time so I could have a look at it from different perspectives. Beautiful.







    Seoul City at night





    It's also interesting how they keep the nature going in here. You can see patches of unlighted places and it's cool. Can't really complain. Keep it up! 











    Seoul Tower is definitely a good place to visit. I suggest you do it at least once. Take a lot of pictures while you're at it too! :)

    War Memorial of Korea | When in Seoul

    War Memorial of Korea | When in Seoul







    I kind of like history and it's only because when I was in highschool, I can perfect a test from my class or something. Easy to memorize, no computations involved. 












    Totally got nothing to do with why we went here. We went here because apparently, according to my friend TripAdvisor it's the #1 thing to do when in Seoul. Yup. Didn't see that coming?










    It's a cool place! Like, no sarcasm or anything, I swear. It really is.










    Also, free admission! :)










    This captured my attention. Because I think it's true in a lot of ways. And it's sad if you think about it. But that's how it goes. Like people at work, they always say I'm lucky because I'm still free. Free of obligations and that I don't have my own family and all that jazz. They're right. Because unlike them, I work for my own survival. They do it for someone else. I think I should enjoy my "freedom" more then. While it's free. 










    Did you know that it is mandatory for guys to enter the military in Korea? Quite interesting, huh? 












    This park is also very near the American Base and so I am thinking that this is mostly about that war. Maybe. Was there even?! Hahaha






    Azaleas though




    United States Air Force







    This scared the hell out of me. I was like, are those real men? But nope! 






    Missiles 








    Then we enter the hall and it's cool to have a glance at what happened to the country before. They even have there a long long list of the soldiers who fought before. It's very nice to commemorate those who fought for their freedom and stuff. Also kind of tech-y inside. 





    Yas.








    I mean, if you have time to spare, even though if you're not into this kind of thing, it's a nice place to visit. You have nothing to lose. Plus! It's conveniently near the touristy spots of Seoul so I'm guessing it's near your hotel as well. Do check out! Ciao!

    When in Seoul

    When in Seoul

    As we all know, I have been wanting to go to Seoul ever since I can remember. What was that? 2009? Yes! I've waited that long and I ain't backing up you know. We were actually supposed to go August but yeah we kind of went earlier than planned but it was very much needed so, yeah. Not complaining. Very timely for I am in a situation where everything's kind of a blur. 









    Narita Terminal 1


    I have planned a 4-day trip to the city and here's my run down of the events. I will be posting a somehow in depth story of this though. But give me time, people! Hahaha








     Best Western Hotel






    Migliore Mall






    Anyways, Day 1 was okay. We left Narita at around 5 and arrived in Incheon National Airport at around 8. The bus guide dropped us to the hotel and we wasted no time and we went to this shopping place at Dongdaemun. After going up and down the shopping place, we then had dinner. It was okay. At this point, we were not really hungry but managed to eat anyways haha. Also, after some ikot-ikot there, totally out of the plan, we went straight to Ittaewon because we wanted to see the night life of people. 









    Bukchon Hanok Village Deck




    This Might be of Importance





    Day 2 was the busiest day for us. We went to the palaces, War Memorial, National Museum, Seoul Tower, Myeongdong, and Dongdaemun again. 








    Lotte World 






    Day 3 we allotted to LOTTE WORLD. But somehow we managed to go to Dongdaemun again. I actually like Myeongdong more than Dongdaemun but you know, complications.









    Cheonggyecheon Stream 





    Day 4 was our last day. It was sad. But we managed to check out the Cheonggye Plaza and Stream before bus picked us up and dropped us to the airport. So that happened. It was overall a good trip. I can't wait to be back! Soon, please! Ciao!
