One of the good things about this trip is we always end up dont know and discovered lotsa cool stuffs.
We started our Day 2 with Buffet lunch which we didn't intent to. We didnt know how to tell the friendly ahjumma that we didn't wanna eat actually. Oh well, we just ate. haha The buffet is only 5,000 won per person.
Next Stop: Changdeokgung Palace and Huwon (Secret Garden)
I personally enjoyed a lot in Huwon! It was really pretty but Huwon is prettier during spring :')
I lost one of the Huwon ticket :( Gave Alice hers and quickly went to the entrance which was far away to tell the person in charge. Ended up they asked for the receipt which was with alice. Alice was like farrrrrrrr away from me. The moment I reached, they were all at the Huwon entrance starting the mini tour already. I was like telling an ahjussi that I needed to go in to meet my friend for the receipt since I lost it. He let me in. Omg. I wanted to kiss him:')))) and somehow i gotten the receipt and showed the ahjussi thank god. Total waste if I bought and did not go in Huwon.
The mini 'island' surrounded by water which is currently frozen. The Huwon entrace fee comes with a complementary tour around the area for an hour.
A story that I couldn't forget about the king back in the olden days
She: King was good at this and that and all. He likes to play archery but always never get 100% bull eyes. If there were 60 shots, he gotten 59.
Me: *thinking maybe the king was not that pro afterall*
She: He gotten 59 not because he lacked of the skills, it was because he wanted to show his own imperfect.
Valuable Lesson. Such a humble king.
My first heat pack that Julie gave us
Somehow it felt like a school trip since most of us were walking in a straight line
I find her cool with her fluent english
The sweet Hotteok I ate outside of the palace. Not to mention, any hot stuffs in winter is extremely good!
Then, we were on our way to Bukchon Village.
I was like what?!? hahahaha
Love how they placed helpful 'portable' tourist assistants around tourist spots who can speak all sorts of languages.
Joygesa Temple! All around Anguk Station. A station that is filled with many stuffs to see. Insadong is also walking distance.
We then spent our night in Myeongdong for dinner and Alice wanted to collect her sim card there. I gotten abit frustrated her that time. We were damn aimless. The weather and the leg ache were like killing me silently. If only she gets more details in the first place... I pity my legs, stupid hard shoes! Not like I cant walk, it was the shoes problem!
I always stop by stalls along the streets for Odaeng ( Fish Paste Skewer with free broth!) Super Awesome! Always see koreans eating that on TV! Totally in love with it. Didn't take picture of it cause every single time I ate that, I was in a super cold state.
Ate quite a few stuffs in Myeongdong. The another reason of my trip is to eat eat eat the food.
The fried octopus in this stall was really Masitseoyo!
Hotdogs and some meat wrapped with tteokbokki. Ate this when I was really full, it did not quite impressed me recommended by alice.
And also ate jajanggmyeon :))))
Myeongdong is a nice place filled with endless skincare shops, retail shops, street food and restaurants. I thought it was already crowded the time I went. Apparently, it has way fewer crowds compared to other seasons. Omg. Somehow this is why I partially like winter also, less humans :D
