South Korea 28Dec23~7Jan24
Excited! It is our first winter trip, yeah!!
Glad that the kids were starting school not in the beginning of January,
so we can make use of the off-season period to travel.
We gonna carry our jackets onboard, since it was our heaviest item.
All packed, with only 5 sets of clothes for our 10 days trip as winter wear are so bulky
and we will not perspire in such a cold weather.
Pitiful papa could not travel with us.. but he drove us to the airport.
T3
Thanks papa, and see you in 11 days
Supper before boarding
And shopping 🤣started so soon..
Waiting to board
Breakfast being served at 630am SGT
Arrived earlier at 920am.
We wanted to get AmazingPay Tmoney but checked at the counter and they did not sell it.
Bought bus tickets (no discount) instead for the limousine bus to Myeongdong.
It took a longer time to wait for our luggage, even though we arrived earlier than planned,
so we only managed to catch the 1026am bus to Myeongdong.
We washed up earlier at the airport, but told the kids to put on makeup on the bus since it's gonna take more than an hour to get to Myeongdong.
Namdaemun market - means we are near
We started to get excited seeing the fallen snow on the ground
That's how cold the weather was 😉
Arrived!
The journey took about an hour and a half.
Remember this stop as we will board from the same stop when returning to the airport.
It was only a few minutes walk to our hotel
Because of this sign, I managed to relax a little and not so worried about the bugs.
So lucky! They allowed us to check-in early if I write a quick review.
Look at our pretty Princess room only for one night's stay.
1 hour after we arrived.
We finished exploring our room, and headed out for lunch and to explore around the area.
We arrived at our lunch venue - Myeongdong Kyoja
Initially the queue was so long but as it moved so quickly (it was only for a short moment we thought we did not have a chance to eat), we also queued and moved along.
Within minutes we already arrived near the entrance.
There are 3 levels in the restaurant and they have a very big restaurant area.
When inside, a lady guided us to go up to level 2 to wait. Then we realised she had the task of dividing the people into the 3 levels.
The queue moved so fast, very soon we were ordering.
There were only few items on the menu, which makes it easy for us to decide and order immediately.
And then pay immediately.
The dumplings were as good as they were when I ate 8 years ago.
Put a first tick on our "To-Do" list 😉
Issac Toast - We will be back one morning
Yeah! Very soon we put a second tick on the "To-Do" list
Ops, we will be back too
Finished exploring the nearby area, we headed back to the hotel for a nap.
Bought our Tmoney from the 7-11 downstairs
Second round of exploring after our nap.
The kids did not want to go to the Cat's playground
Nice place, but we did not buy anything.
We decided to have dinner by buying from the street.
But first, let's head to Myeongdong Cathedral
Look who's behind?
The baby got her sotteok
We went into Daiso since its so near us.
Look at the crowd when queuing.. we didn't even buy enough to wave tax.
CD shop - the kids seemed not interested?
