Cheonggyecheon Stream | When in Seoul

Cheonggyecheon Stream | When in Seoul






Secretly really wanted to see this. Before, I was like, gotta see what I should see but now that I know that it took them millions of dollars to reconstruct, I'm kind of curious. Kind of. 












I didn't even know we were there already it's funny. Basically, when we were strolling near our hotel, I saw this tower and I was like, what's up? Didn't mind it much. 









Rainbow After every Hardship







Before the trip, I kind of already searched for places and how to get there from our hotel and this stream is supposed to be 30 minutes away but yeah. 










Now I know why it was darn expensive. It's long. There were children with their little boats that time. They were probably gonna release it or something. No idea.

Also, they did have people wearning traditional costumes and stuff. Also some camera guys so maybe they were having a shooting or something.









Would love to hang out here at night though. Probably pretty with the breeze and the lights. Ciao!

Lotte World | When in Seoul

Lotte World | When in Seoul







Lotte World! I know it's kind of lame to look forward to going an amusement park when going to a different country and stuff but I was really looking forward to this particular trip. 











It's my first time going here and it seems like they were having some sort of a parteh.











We weren't able to enter this one. But would like to try soon. I can only imagine my sisters going wild on this. The whole place will go wild actually. 










It has been said that Lotte World is the largest indoor amusement park and I can see why. It's pretty big and kind of dense so there's really a lot of things to do. 









They also have an outdoor park which has all the scary rides. Too bad we didn't ride. Also, I have no idea whose castle this belongs to.

Kiddie ride because apprently, friend kind of gave up on scary rides already. This is our very first ride and this literally gave me headache for a while. The circle is fairly small so that means you turn around faster, right? Yeah. Then! Gracious goodness with my hips. I actually thought I couldn't fit in but I did.











Best photobomber ever








We rode this Atlantis thing though. Also probably the longest queue among those that we rode. Not even half of Disneyland's. It said that it's a 45 minute wait but we were able to ride less than that. And yes, I did time.  










We entered Snow White's Castle as well. I wish it was wider though. Also, not for adults because who would be happy to climb up a flight of stairs. 







The Castle








My Peter Pan and Wendy Darling. Can I just say? Totally not expecting to see him there. Not complaining.











With the Captain Hook





Alice 








When we went out the park, it's kind of hot so we had these. Mango and Strawberry slurpees. 








Also, we were intrigued by this. It said Chicken Cola and we thought it's just its flavor so when I ordered, I was expecting a normal chicken but the guy there pointed the straw and I was like, what? But got it anyway. It happened to be this. So cool! 













We also had these dumplings with kimchi stuff. So good actually. 












They also have a 3D art museum based on the Egyptian time and it's awesome. They have tombs, and all that. This bitterness is my favorite. 







The Ship is Sailing





The Castle at night 








Much like Disneyland, they also have their night parade. It was beautiful. 











I really enjoyed Lotte World. I do recommend you checking it out! Lotsa fun. I wish I rode more though. Ciao!

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. 






Cable Car Selfie



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! :)
