Day 2 - Myeongdong

 

Hello from Day 2 of seoul! We stayed in Myeongdong for the whole day! And I do recommend that as there are LOTS of shops and I absolutely love that place to death. After we woke up, we payed the closest convenience store a visit to pick up some BANANA MILK! Now for those who know me, I absolutely love Taemin and for breakfast the first thing I thought to have was banana milk. Now I personally don't like (to mild hate) anything banana flavoured. I love bananas...but just not the flavouring! But I was like 'oh what gives Taemin likes it. You have to try it'. So try I did and oh my god. It is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I am so lost now that I can't have it anymore. It tastes SO GOOD! My mum got the strawberry one...it wasn't as good. It just tastes like normal strawberry Big M. So we basically stuck with banana milk for the rest of our time here and I can't emphasis how sad I am that we don't have it here in Melbourne =[ !

Myeongdong is is a central shopping district and it consists of a few streets filled with restaurants and shops (clothing and makeup but mainly makeup). I love this place, which is why I chose to live close to here. To get here from where I stayed, I basically walk out towards the city and under the subway (exit 4) and out the other side (exit 6) and there I am. So it really takes around 5 minutes unless you are walking SUPERDUPER slowly.

Picture spam time =D (there will be a lot of these... especially in the later days too)






Cute mushroom ...I don't know what they are at Redeye, one of my favourite shops in Myeongdong!
SAMURAI POT! but le mother says no...Y^Y I went back a few days later.. and there was a bit one and a mini one D; WANT IT SO BAD

Day 1 - Off to Seoul

Hellooo! and long time no ..talk? I've been super busy lately especially after I got back from my holiday because there were just heaps of errands I had to do, mostly helping my mum buy furniture type stuff for the house and organising it and whatever.We're not quite finished yet but I thought I'd try and get the itinerary started (as promised!).

Before I start, just a few house keeping things I gotta say. I don't want to put this in every post because I feel it just brings the atmosphere down...so I'm just going to list it here but it basically goes for all the posts on the trip:
- EVERYTHING from this trip was purchased by me, nothing was sponsored
- I'm giving my personal opinions on the trip and yours may be different.
- I'm not trying to brag about my trip or anything of that nature. I just thought it would be helpful for people who are planning to visit these countries by giving them ideas on where to go.
- All pictures belong to me - excludes maps
- All information is subject to change depending on the respective companies/businesses/owners. The information will be written to fit my experiences during the trip. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

OK! LEGOO!

My flight was scheduled in the morning so we (mum and I) caught a taxi from home to the Melbourne International Airport. We arrived a bit early so we got ourselves some breakfast and checked in. Everything went pretty smoothly and it honestly isn't that interesting. We flew with Korean Air. We chose to fly with them since our first destination was Seoul so there wouldn't be any transfers and I've traveled with them before when I went to exchange in Japan. I have to say, the food is good but I can't say the same with the amount of skills the pilots have.....


Waiting to board - blue plane =D

So the flight was approximately 10 hours long. I almost died. I actually hate planes. I think it's because of how close you're sitting next the other people and we got aisle seats so it wasn't that great. And I basically just hate planes. I don't really have anything else to say other than I slept for 10 hours so here's just some pictures of our plane food. 

The 1st meal

Omelet

Chicken rice
I made a visit to the bathroom midway and just thought I'd take a picture of their lotion and face mist they is provided by the airline.


The second meal is served! This is basically the only reason why I chose Korean air. They serve BiBimBap. For those who don't know what it is, it's a Korean rice dish were you get meat, vegetables and, of course rice, mix it all together and top it up with some chilli sauce. I love this.

The best plane food you will ever get with economy class. They have seaweed soup as well (that round container on the right). The rice is in the left rectangle container.

The topping ingredients themselves.
