Seoul Day 3: Hongdae and Hangang River

We finally understood what the uncle said. The first few days, we the ulu malaysians thought it was like coldddd. Till the third day. On the first 2 days, an uncle was telling us that it was the hottest of their winter. Holy macaroni. hahahahaha The deadly wind!!

Started off day 3 with Hongik University Area (Hongdae)!
The weather was extremely sejuk thanks to the omg wind. We had tough time walking outside that day. Sudah hampir sejuk till @@ and alice told me wanna stand at an outdoor spot because she wanted wifi. Crazy crap. At least tell me you wanna do what ma. Standing outside will that wind can mati. - -' Anyhow Hongdae is quite a famous spot since students are everywhere. Due to the wind, we walked walked and decided to simply find a restaurant and eat. There we discovered this awesome small place with lotsa locals waiting! I think we waited for more than an hour.

PC Bang is common there aka their cyber cafe

Cant really see here but the crowds just kept filing up.

The pot of dont know howwwww many mussels and 3 big manduu kimchi stew! I love this!!! Heavennnnnnn

We had some free time so we went to Edae which we walked and walked and ended up in the next station which is only meant for locals. I enjoyed walking that place, not-so-tourist-ish.

Then, it was time to head to Yeouinaru Station for Hangang River Cruise and Hangang Park. 
The sky on that day was so calm with a mixture of blue. I could not stop taking pictures as I walked towards the cruise area.

Who cares about cold when such beauty is right in front of your eyes

Hangang Park with leaves-less trees but still nice

Hot citron tea to make myself feel better in the cold before getting onto the cruise

Upper deck indoor view of the cruise

All of us were trying to get several good shots of the night views but the wind was overwhelming. 
It was worse on the cruise as it moved. If only I recorded down how strong the wind was. 
I will never forget.

Captured by some young cute korean kids who were really shy and partially scared cause I was speaking English

I gotta say the cruise is expensive and not worth it at all with that price but the performance was really good. Funny Indeed. I think I was laughing really loud.  Spot the guy on the right that looks like the Korean version of Joseph Germani thats better looking and funnier.

hahahaha the funny charade with one of the audiences

Noryangjin Fish Market for Dinner! The place I have long waiting for to eat those mouth-watering seafood. If only Im eating in a bigger group, the joy of tasting more and sharing among friends. I ordered bit too much for myself. I just cannot NOT try. :') This fish market is kinda scary place for tourists cause it is abit far from Seoul and if you can't speak Korean. The overly friendly dudes that came and spoke mandarin are scary too. Dont worry if you can speak mandarin 

Any Seafood, you name it.

The abalone that I expected it to be hyper chewy but not :(

Always dream to stuff myself with shasimi till I am full. There I go with 4 types of fish :') 
Thumbs up for this!

I dont know whats this but always see people going there to try this so I did. Er... Yuck. haha

The one that I have always wanting to try so badly! The still-moving-sticky-live octopus :O It was a wrong choice to buy so many sigh. If only more people are with me T T but still happy that I tried it!

Group picta! one more grilled scallops that were simply amazing! Awesomely delicious. It went in my stomach smoothly

Go Noryangjin Fish Market with a bunch should be the way! The price for the amount of seafood I bought is not expensive. Worth the pay! My face was like hyper red and felt extremely hot. Too many good food at once I guess. 

I end my Day 3 post with the cold that I can still feel back despite I am back in Malaysia.
