03-11-2014

Its November already ! Oh my god ! Year 2014 is gonna end in 2 months !

LOL ! Ok, back to my blogging.

I'm gonna talk about the 1st day that I'm in Korea.

As a tourist, there are some places that is a must visit if you go Korea and I've decided to go to Myeongdong !

Myeongdong is a very tourist place as most of the shops staffs knows how to speak Korean, Chinese, limited english and limited japanese so that tourists are able to converse with the shop staffs.


We went to this restaurant call Two Two, which seems to be quite famous as I saw a few advertisment about them so we decided to try it when we saw it.


We ordered a Samgaetang ( Ginseng Chicken Soup ), Beancurd skin Soup and half a Fried Chicken. It doesn't look nice from the photo rite. And yes, it's overrated and expensive.

The Samgaetang and the Fried Chicken is like 16k Won each which is around SGD20 which I find is too overrated and overpriced in Korea.

After breakfast we went to walk and shopped around before we head off to Namsam Seoul Tower.


Seoul Tower is the place where lovers write their name on the locks and lock them on the fence which they say each other's love will be locked down forever .


Pardon for the lousy phototaking as there is really too many people there as its the Golden Week in China which tons of Ah Tiongs will go overseas and no offence to them, they really lack manners and rushing around and making tons of noise.

The amount of couples that had their love locked at this place is seriously over 9000. It's so damm alot that you won't be able to count the amount of locks there. ITS CRAZY !

After that when we have walked around and feeling abit tired, there is this lighting ceremony as it's the Hangul Day of Korea and there are performance.


There is this performance of people playing instruments and dancing around which is very impressive as their dance is like making the feather or the string on their hat turn and spin in a very nice way which I find it's damm difficult to do coz they have to play the instruments, walking around the square and moving their head AT THE SAME TIME which is damm impressive !


After that there is this martial arts performance which is damm impressive also as there is alot of weapons like the sword, the blade, the spear, double hand sword and it shows them chopping off straws and bamboo nicely and in style. Lucky we decided to come to Seoul Tower on this day but the amount of Cheena tourists here is kinda turn off seriously.

After that we decided to walk down the mountain which is damm tiring ! I seriously wonder how people can climb up and down this mountain ! We took like 20 minutes to travel down the mountain !


We decided to look for dinner at Myeongdong as it's around 7+ when we have walked down back to Myeongdong and I decide to go to the restaurant recommended by my friend who went to it before me.

The restaurant is call Wangjibib and I have to say their beef and pork is damm good ! The service of the restaurant is very good also but the price is more to the high side.







Even for the price, I'm willing to pay again to have a meal here ! Remember its Wangjibib !

After that we went back to our apartment to get ready for the next 2 days,

BUSAN !

That will have to wait till the next post !
