Our KLOOK VOUCHERS in SEOUL

December 09, 2019 0
Our KLOOK VOUCHERS in SEOUL
Can I just say that KLOOK is the key to any travels you might be thinking of. Except probably Japan. Or maybe that's only because I didn't see any difference from their DISNEY ticket prices. Well you know what? Maybe the line matters. But anyways, I'm going to review all of our KLOOK vouchers on our trip to SEOUL last month. LEGGO!






This is actually the first voucher we've availed successfully because the wifi we weren't able to get because of a faulty credit card. I was able to refund it though thanks to the staff there who suggested it. Anyways. The hanbok shop was actually very nice. They have a very nice photo spot where we took a lot of pictures of. 










This is a post that I’ve made about this. And more! 















Can I just say that having Klook transfers is a real winner. When I went to Namsan Tower for the very first time, I was scammed on our downhill trip back to the mainland so yeah this is really a steal!  Also very convenient! You just have to wait for your driver and be done. We were actually supposed to take the 8:30 trip but then again I thought it’d be a waste of time to hang out there so I’ve decided to ask the driver if there’s any way we can make it to an earlier trip and he said that we can configure it using the app and so yeah SUCCESS! The driver was kind of late though so we had to wait for like 10 minutes past the call time it seems like but I don’t really mind. Traffic in Seoul is very common.  




















This is not a bundle because it’s not available that time so we had to book this separately and the drop off place was kind of further away than the last time I went there where we availed the bundle but it’s all good. As usual, we availed the last trip. 












I actually really enjoyed our tour. I would have loved to drop by the Garden of Morning Calm but I’m glad I didn’t because our schedule would have been very tight. Our tour assistant HENDRA was very friendly and made sure everyone is feeling relaxed and informed during the course of our trip. He was also very helpful to all of us in that trip and answers questions regarding almost everything even after the trip. I just hope that they extend the Petit France stay for even just 30 minutes for someone to enjoy the place more. To be fair though, there was a puppet show that consumed most of our time but it was the best part of the trip still. We weren’t able to go to every stops as we were short in time but maybe next time we could. EXTENSION PLEASE! Thank you.













This is probably what caused us the most hassle. We actually went by train and had to enter the basement of Lotte World but the QR code should actually be exchanged to a physical ticket for some reason so we had to get to the office where they do that which was at the main entrance so yeah time consuming and kind of a hassle if you ask me. But then again it’s okay.

Day 3.1 | Nami Island and Lunch!

Day 3.1 | Nami Island and Lunch!



I was soo excited for this trip because it’s the first time I’ve been and it was soo beautiful. It wasn’t in its full autumn glory though but the whole vibes is definitely there, you know.



In order to reach the main island, one must ride a ferry for like 5 minutes or so. It was a rather smooth ride and yeah it's a very effective sell of the island. Also! Can I just say that Nami Island is supposed to be looked at as its own country because 1, you have to have a passport (not your own) to get in the island and 2, they have their own currency which I didn't see and 3, they have their own flag.



The trees are not that pretty anymore. Already have a lot of fall and it's almost prettier up than down.

I definitely love the colors of nature!

The maple trees are soo beautiful though! It makes up for the not so good color of other trees!


Snack Time!


The Picturesque spot at the middle of the island! 


We only spent like two hours here which is not enough considering we have to find a perfect tree for pictures. Also, so many people which is part of the struggle but overall it was fun! I just wish we have like an extra hour to really maximize the use of the island.


Goodbye, Nami! I’ll have to see you again when I see yah!


After Nami Island, time for lunch! The lunch was awesome! I like it!



Add the rice and cheese on top and voila! Deliciousness! That's all for the Nami ISLAND post guys!

Day 2 | Everland

Day 2 | Everland








Our second day is dedicated to Everland. Because why not. Both my previous Korea trips only consisted either one of these two. It’s the first time I tackled both. It was fun but exhausting. 













Snack Time First As Always! 













Here’s what we had for lunch! It was delicious.










Because of the long queue we weren't able to visit the zoo/Safari so maybe next time! 











Anyways, we weren’t able to ride as much as we like to because it was sooo crowded!! We were kind of unlucky on that part. BUT! We were able to ride the T-EXPRESS! Which I swear we were already ready to let go but thank goodness we didn’t because it was hell of a ride! I like it! It may be one of my favorite rides ever! 







BLOODEH










They had a mini zombie escape thingy at a secluded area and my goodness it was crazy. They don’t even care about your privacy you know! They’d be pulling your bag and stuff. 















Also one of the places I like is this. The tunnel of something. So interesting because the bulbs are either filled with flowers or like a letter so yeah. So nice. 










My favorite snack ever! EVERLAND CORN IS JUST THE BEYST. I can’t even explain it you know. 










More snacks!










Oden! 










They had the castle lit up that time. I don't actually remember seeing this last time. 












The parade was fantastic of course. One thing I wish they did was the fireworks. I remember it being the highlight of my Everland trip before. They also closed that four seasons thing for some reason so we weren't able to take cute pictures! Not that we have time to spare though but you know! That’s all!

Day 1 | I Seoul You

November 18, 2019 0
Day 1 | I Seoul You
This is the most hectic day of our 5 day stay in South Korea. Also, this is where I kinda squeezed in all the places I’ve already been to before! But! It’s true what they say! Being with a different person to the same place brings you a different perspective. The first day was Hanbok, Seoul Tower, and Hongdae day. We lived in Myeongdong area so I already know that we can just walk our way to Cheonggyecheon and the Palaces so that’s what we did. It was sooo far! I didn’t put into consideration that we were 10 minutes away from the extreme end of Myeongdong. Which we survived by the way. I can’t say the same for my shoes.


So we stopped at the stream which I will always have a soft spot for. We didn’t take much pictures though or stopped for more than 20 minutes because it’s that kind of place. You just pass by it for some reason. 



We walked our way to the palace, ate our breakfast/lunch at the 7/11 cafe which was so nice and rented Hanbok. We actually didn’t go to Bukchon Hanok Village anymore because we’re on strict schedule and we woke up late because of our very late arrival at the guest house the evening prior. Anyways, we found the Hanbok rental shop we were looking for, chose our dresses, and went to the palace! It was refreshing.

We took loads of photos of course and then we went to Myeongdong! This time near the meeting place for our Seoul Tower trip and had bibimbap! 


Namsan Tower





It's a Small World! 


Gorgeous. I think it's my second time here and it's just as pretty as I remember it to be.



MIKIE AND MIKA



Seoul Tower was fantastic. I like it. Maybe the same level as how I like the Tokyo Tower even. I don’t know. Something like that. We took loads of photos and headed back down. Went home to put on a proper coat and headed to Hongdae! I might actually just stay in Hongdae on my next Seoul trip! Now! I know I already told you I’m not coming back to Korea before but maybe. Just maybe. I would probably want to utilize my Everland visit next time. Fireworks and all! Or maybe Lotte World too! That’ll be cool.





As I was saying, Hongdae. We weren’t able to have chicken like I originally planned to but we had the best Korean barbecue! Me likey. We were also able to watch street performances which was cool. So yeah.



We had this chicken which ACSLIFE recommended! It was good! Can I just say that Hongdae is sooo lit! I like it! Although I remember it much prettier in WINTER with all the lights and stuff! That’s all!
