Korea Travel Book: Myeong Dong

Korea second day! Interesting one..cz went out since 9am to 6pm..I will mention Malaysia time la..Korea is earlier for an hour..meaning now here is nearly 1am d but I am still blogging..tomorrow have to wake up at 9am! *MY time* 

So I will blog along with the pictures la..tons of pictures that happening today! Ok let's go..

Our first time travel by Subway in Korea! Learnt to buy the T-money card by ourselves..read map and  everything..initially we are going to the wrong route..lol..so take off and go to the other side again..is ok la practice makes perfect ma..:p

Very clean and cz we travel on Sunday morning so not much people yet..

They have door to connect the both train..different like our LRT..and I think this is safer la..

Complicated subway map..but not hard to read..you can adapt to it soon..and they have different language map..so not to worry..you won't lost..:-)

Reached City Hall station and walk to Myeong Dong..See Koreana Hotel? 3 years back when I travelled to Korea with family, we stayed in this hotel! Very clean and near to the tourist attraction..is in the centre of Seoul city..walking distance to Myeong Dong but kinda pricey..RM500+ per night..but if you are affordable then I can recommend this hotel to you..:-)

Seoul Gwang jang *name in Korean* 首尔广场 in mandarin..something like Penang esplanade..:-) you can google the history if you are interested to know more about this place.

First photo of myself in Korea..yesterday all food and streets' pictures..><

Some activities during the Dano. Dano, May 5th by lunar calendar, has been considered as the best for the stamina during the year.

Common activities of Dano are Ssireum *Korean wrestling* and swinging. So they have a huge swing displaying here for public to try but we dare not to swing too high..

Global ATM. Not sure whether is this available in other countries..but if you are visiting to Korea but worry of bringing insufficient cash to shop, perhaps you can inquire your respective banks in home country whether did they offer Global ATM service and how was it operate. I didn't realized about this until I arrived. :-(

Cream puff. Chocolate and Original flavor. Original one tasted like ice cream and chocolate with real chocolate filling but I prefer original. Lol..500 won *RM1.50* each..

Olive Young, the one that I mentioned in yesterday post which is similar to Watson in Msia. 

We saw a cute duckie following this ahjushi! Why duck is appearing in Seoul city huh? Cute yet awkward scene..lol..

Hello me again in Myeong Dong! Reached early so not much people yet, the later the more people..very busy street! Shopping time! I didn't bring camera along so all photos was taken with iPhone 4s..cz bring camera for whole day long shopping is extremely tiring..

*now I can't feel my shoulder and neck d*

Tons of cosmetic shops along the streets! Is like in every 100m there is another same cosmetic shops! Lol..and almost all of them are half of the price compared to Msia..haha..some brand don't even released in Msia. 

Krispy Kreme..will try out their donuts soon! Today short of time! Lol..

A cosmetic brand endorsed by Psy..their body perfume mist smells so good..but I tahan nafsu! Lol..

Saw a few H&M stores here but dare not to walk in cz I have to save money for the last week in Korea..food here is way too expensive as a Msia tourist..cz you know la Msia money low value one..ishhh! But living cost here high also la..no choice..have to make sacrifices...if shopping no nice food, nice food no shopping..either one! XD

I want Baby Octopus! Raw one..crawling in my mouth! Wah..can't wait to try them in Jeju! Excited..but selling so expensive here in Myeong dong..25000 won equivalent to RM75! *gulps* So damn expensive..like having fine dining in Penang d! But now with just a plate of octopus..o.O

Qiang qiang...nah..the raw octopus..scary not..lol..

Something like Uncle Jang in Msia but this one cook by ourselves..more fun la..

Bags bags bags..and many baseball caps as well but I don't managed to take the pictures..

McD as our lunch..cz this is the cheapest food in Myeong Dong that we seen besides bibimbap and NaengMyeon..>< 

Opps..thought want to show you guys the price but don't realized this is Japanese words until I uploaded..

McD has my favourite Heinz Ketchup! So good....*melt* How good if Msia has this..lol..

Bulgogi burger 3500 won for a set *RM10.50* ala carte which cost 2000 won *RM6*..cheapest one in McD..

My order! BigMac..I scare I hungry..haha..3900 won for ala carte..which is RM12 for only a burger..but really nice la..I love the cheese..is melts one lo..and the beef patty juicy too..will have this again..too bad around uni area has no Mcd..

Shopping hauls before lunch..after lunch we buy even more..haha!

ABC Mart selling cheap Birkenstock..average RM180 per pair..but won't buy cz is too heavy!

Too bad is closed on Sunday..luckily I am still staying here can come anytime..if not I pity those tourist who purposely come but it is closed..so weird huh..Sunday closed shop..heard the Skin Food salesgirl said cz the owner is Christian..don't know true or not..haha..anyway doesn't make sense also la..lol..
