Seoul Invasion Day 1 (GANGNAM + GUROSUGIL)

Hello to all, after 2 posts in 2015, now it's 2016. 2015 have been an amazing year and a big turn for me. I traveled to many places such as Seoul, Bali, Yogyakarta and Jakarta. I gonna share with you all to benefit those who wish to visit the place. Continue with the summary post in 2015 (http://chocomikoland.blogspot.my/2015/06/seoul-south-korea-7-days-invasion.html), I will now write in details about my days.

My main purpose of the trip is to attend UMF Korea 2015. My travel addict is to attend local rave music festival no matter where I travel. Cause you can feel more Korea than Korea. Cut the crap back to my Day 1:

During my stay, they are having the MERS flu. Anyway, we still going. In fact, when we reach the airport. Apparently we are the only one who wear mask. It's not that serious, just avoid the hospital. Here I understand the power of media. For your information, once you touch down you may purchase your SIM Card in the airport itself. Because the convenient shop in the town doesn't sell any. You may get out of the airport to the hotel using bus. I was staying in Nox Hotel (677-13 Yeoksam-dong Seoul, South Korea) the people are polite and nice to help with anything you need. Comfortable bed and good rate.

After settle down, showered and nap. We decided to hunt for our lunch after the 5 hours flight.







Above is my rave buddy Jess bii, we stop by Gongcha. Well, you won't get lost by walking around gangnam (How to get there using train: Line 2: Gangnam Station exit 10 or 11) because the road is pretty systematic. Second, there is WIFI everywhere. They got 5G!!!

After lunch, I got texts from Jane, rave buddy to be. We never met before and the funniest part is, both of us wearing mask. So it's kind of hard to recognize each other. How I describe myself, the girl wearing white long sleeve shirt with pink mask. OMG!!

We headed to Gurosugil. How to get there? Take line 3 to Sinsa Station (exit 8) -10 minutes walk using Google GPS to reach the street. Gurosugil has it all about fashion. If you are a fashion freak, this is a place for you. We crush in a random shop to dine for dinner. Korea always famous of the Korean series that the actor and actress eat fried chicken and beer. Here we are! Danngg.

Well, you will be surprise how we Malaysian can eat so little. One portion we share among 3 girls. We can't even finish it! Advisable share with your travel partner if you plan to order anything. Think twice when you are hungry. It was a nice gathering with Jane, who turns out to be my travel buddy and thunder buddy for life. *the reason I love rave, you see the world differently. And most importantly you appreciate it.


Say Hi to JANE (right)


What to brat about this cosmetic shop, first Malaysia don't have individual big scale shop like this. 3CE, I love the crayon lipstick, which I am still using it for now. They got the amazing coral color. Now the product is available in SASA. Besides, look at the following pictures, they have makeup room. So paparazzi. Ladies, if you are true ladies, you will take a visit in this shop!!! Gorgeous. 


We went so crazy in the shop like 'orang ulu' if you get what I mean. Last to end the day, we sit in a coffee shop. Named coffee smith. Here we chit chat and look at pretty guys. We name this place tinder coffee shop instead haha. Writing a story for each table. Probably I am too tired by that time, my mind went nuts. OK dear, look forward for DAY 2 of my Seoul Invasion. I gonna talk more about LOTTE World together with Jess bii and Jane. With love, signed.
