Seoul Day 5&6 Line Friends Sinsa & Home

Day 5: Lotte department store (revisit), Sinsa Line Friends store

It rained again.. :(
Initially, the plan of day 5 was to go to Ihwa Mural Village in the morning. So partly because of the rain, we decided not to visit the place, anyway, none of us like taking photos of ourselves.
Instead we had a revisit to Lotte department store in the morning, and then to the only Line Friends Store cum café in the Seoul.

No photos were taken at Lotte departmental store, anyway it was super crowded even though we visit on a Monday morning.


Our lunch for day 5.. Oyster porridge & Mushroom porridge
Line Friends store/café

 
When it was time to go, it was raining heavily outside. We were so hungry and decided to have dinner at any restaurant we see.

Day 6: Myeongdong Underground/Home Sweet Home
No photos were taken during shopping at Myeongdong Underground. It was a rush during the trip in search of bag for XT's mil. Time passes real fast, the morning has ended and it was time to check-out of our hotel.

Seoul Day 4 Gyeongbokgung/Samcheongdong/Bukchon Hanok Village/N Seoul Tower

Finally we see sunshine. And it was a good time to visit Gyeongbokgung and the nearby Samcheongdong and Bukchon Hanok Village. It is the right season to visit as the places are very beautiful in autumn.

Before getting to the goong, just out of the train gantry,
let's take an interesting picture

Look at Korea's blue sky

After dinner, we took a slow walk towards the train station, Anguk.

Last stop for the day, N Seoul  Tower. We alighted at Chungmuro station. From the train station, walk to the bus stop in far front of Daehan Cinema. Bus numbers 02, 05 (1,100 won with card) can take us to the tower in 15 mins.
