Seoul Invasion Day 6 (EHWA WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY +N SEOUL TOWER ) Part 2 *THE END*

The hardest part is to say goodbye. Spending my very last day here, in Ehwa Woman's University Station (Line 2, Exit 2). This is a famous hangout place, Uni students indicated cheap clothing and tonnes of cafe to hangout for studies. I love the architecture. Splendid. 



\
Don't miss out to try BINGSU here. Under the hot sun, nothing beats a ice cold mango cheese ICE. Right after we are heading to N Seoul Tower to see sunset and enjoy the chilling feel. Line 6, Exit 4 transfer to bus 3. 





There is SO many love locks, I wonder how heavy is this place and how long will it last. As there's a love locks bridge rumors, that the bridge collapse because couldn't hold on the weights of locks. For me? I don't need a lock. My lover stays in my heart. Apart from this view, we have overview of Seoul City too. Nice peak out point. 








Time to say goodbye and hello to new destination. Next up LOMBOK and GILI TRAWANGAN. Hope you guys enjoy reading my Seoul Invasion. Consists of continuous 7 posts. Sarangheyo~!

Seoul Invasion Day 6 (BUKCHON HANOK VILLAGE +HONGIK CAT CAFE ) Part 1

The saddest part of all is watching my new-meet-rave-family going back home one by one. It doesn't mean that we are not going to meet each other anymore. Just the chances dwindle down little by little. We are all from Malaysia, we live in different corner of Malaysia. That make us unique and appreciate each other company. Today we are sending off Cheeman. Thanks for being the model of the day. LOL.

We are heading to quite few places for Day 6, Thus I decided to break it down to 2 Part. Personally do not feel like force feeding you too much of the pictures and places I want to introduce to you. Let's talk about Bukchon Hanok Village. Basically what you saw here is a tourism places and also RESIDENTIAL. Did I just said someone living behind this wooden door? Oh yea. There is. So we have to watch our manner and lower down our voice while walking along. There provide homestay and you can try out the Korean tradition clothing -Hanbok for picture taking in the beautiful village. Some hills to climb and check out the view.

Bukchon Hanok Village can be reach by train station named Anguk Station Line 3, Exit 2. 


Both of us reach early which waiting for another 3 to come by, we grab a drink here. First world problem? Whenever I went into a coffee shop, I will get chocolate. That is always my choice, because I am not a coffee person. 






Kind of amaze to find hibiscus here, Malaysia National Flower. Always remember where is your origin, no matter how far you go. 


Picture below shows this is how far and how high we climbed, exhausted the two fellows- Badim and Eric. Well, you might be wondering where is Cheeman? Yea, he just drop by for an hour and left for Airport. This is ma brother. 






I like to mimic whatever I came across feeling funny. You can get a map in the tourist center if you want to travel deep and know more about this place. Easy. Picture below there is a banana man on the royal rich blue background. I keep asking my friend why there is so many banana man around the residential area. Is actually in case you need help the policeman is around be reached. 


By doing some research there is amazing Ginseng Chicken Soup hidden in here to try. You can checkout in the website. We didn't go for it. Time is precious. We walk around and come by a shop to grab some drink and chill. The weather is overpowering our stamina.

I am glad to meet up an artist here.You can feel his passion from the way he is trying to convey his art. Doing things he like is living his own life.


Next stop we are heading for lunch. A LOT of people Queuing up for this noodle soup. Someone, uh yea someone order the octopus. Mann, octopus. After filling up our tummy, time to go for more. 




I love cat, if you know me well enough, Seoul have number of Cat cafe. There is also sheep cafe, too bad when I reached, the sheep is taking shower need 2 hours to return to the cafe. Again no time to waste I went to cats cafe. Hongik Station Line 2, Exit 9. Some people call Hongik as Hongdae. They are actually the same. It costs KRW8000 to have a drink and play with the cat.








One of my apple in the eye cat- Muchkin. Ohh so cute. Alright time to sleep. Till the next post. I will be right back for U. BaDinga!

Seoul Invasion Day 5 (DONGDAEMUN+ MYEONGDONG)

Morning! I am here to steal your time to bring you around Seoul. Tee-hee. Success, you spend 5 seconds ready my statement. OK, stop the crap start brat for my Day 5. Amazing day, cause my new buddy agree to go Dongdaemun to see the LED flowers with me. I am a stubborn girl, when I decided to visit certain place. I will go for it.

We have change our accommodation to [MYEONGDONG] airbnb Nick &MJ's flatM. Awesome place to stay, me and my friend got a super comfy queen size bed EACH to jump and sleep on. The owner is super duper friendly to solve our problem in the middle of the night. Well, I am not encouraging you to disturb or prank people at night hehe. Funny discovery, the door lock is using heat sensor to initiate. I was looking at my friend for 15 seconds and say, we don't have a key to initiate. Everything super hi-tech, specially the toilet with buttons. Better experience while you Poo!

Another funny incident is me and my friend lost our phone in SEOUL. For sure we get it back at last. I left my phone in the ex hotel- Nox Hotel, cause showing the receptionist to find out where is our next hotel. While grabbing a taxi for us, he forget to return my phone. For my friend, she left in taxi because of shallow pocket. We are so F* up that day, stranded in a hotel to get in touch with ex hotel and try to get back the phone in taxi.

Spent 3 hours finally get back our phone. This only happen in Korea, not else where. We are lucky. I left my travel bag outside the toilet area, it's still there after I am done. Again, I am not encouraging you to left your stuff anywhere to test the security in Korea. hehe.




Checking out some cute snacks while waiting for other buddies to arrive and gather. Where are we heading? Dongdaemun Station-Line 1/ Line 4 exit 8/9.

Refer to the picture below, don't envy my cute socks, I get it in Seoul Myeongdong just for RM3. I grab quite a few and after 6 months still my favorite thing to wear while I am travelling. The quality is good and it looks good.








Dongdaemun is an absolute amazing place to go, there are 3 big shopping mall link next to each other. Purfect place for us to shop. Lotte, Fashion Mall, and AmPm. I will advise you to go late afternoon and stay until night to see the transition of the night view. Splendid, I am about to cry to see the scene.I bought boxes and boxes of seaweed in the mall. My favorite, with special discount, the Ah Ju mah likes me. 




This is something I missed. I would love to go. Advise don't go on Monday. It's closed. My Europe friend introduce this. He told me it's an speechless experience. 




All their mall are specially designed. Look at the floor is made of glass with sand and gold flakes underneath. What so special about the picture below? I was trying to check out a guy with ginger red hair. Oh, I thought that what we all do when we are in Seoul. Check out every beautiful soul guy and girl with beautiful features. Also the scenery, BONUS dang~ We chill until late evening to wait for my LED flowers to lit up. (devil ME)







So beautiful right, I hope to see this again with the individual I love. I don't mind to go again. O I almost cry my lungs out for joy to see this. Mission checked. After that, we are meeting up another owl who just woke up hungry. Back to Myeongdong. 






My rave fam- Badim from Ipoh and Chee Man from Terrenganu. After dinner, we go to coffee shop to chill some more until the night turns cold. This time we don't want to go home. So sick and started to miss my time in Seoul already. 



My rave family is the present I got and will appreciate throughout my life for having them. The reason I love rave---SO many reason to keep loving these people.
