Visting Korea, Day Two!

Day started with visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace. This palace is nearest to our hotel, merely 5 minutes cab ride down!

There were many guards dressed in colorful hanboks! And so, of course many any pictures with them! (:

With my partner travelers, Veron and Eugene!

As i was taking the above photo with the guard, i heard him sniffle a bit. Must be so cold, standing out in the cold that he's having runny nose yet unable to move much.

We see these cute lil ones the moment we entered the Palace.

Children, dressed in hanboks on excursions!!! (: Couldn't resist not taking a shot with them.

How pretty! (:

Ticket office

Tickets were just $3 for an adult! I expected it to be more pricey.

Gyeongbokgung Palace Tickets!

Beautiful ceilings of the palaces

Veron with Eugene!

Old school

Definitely worth the money to visit this place, at just $3, we spent about 2 hours in there. There are may palaces to visit within Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Walked back to our hotel area for lunch.

OOTD! (:

Stopped by this Korean Restaurant because we saw many office crowd entering. Can't be bad if there are so many local patrons right? (:

Love Bean sprouts that i had 4 servings!

Onions!

Eugene with his beer at lunch time, again.

The restaurants in Korea expect everyone to order at least 1 main. So if there are 3 of us, we have to order 3 even if 1 person is not dining. This was the bad thing because we can never seem to finish.

Beef Ribs!

BEST BEEF we have ever had. The beef was so well marinated, it makes me salivates just thinking about it.

Kimchi Soup

Our damage

HAPPY!

More beef!

Walked around and got into this korean celebrity store where they sell all the korean girl band, boy band posters, calenders, Cs, DVDs!

We are at the back of Myeongdong for more shopping! And i just had to take pictures of this bank!

Hana Bank. How can banks look this cute?!??? I would have an account there so i can get a nice cute bank card and bank book! teehee~

Cheap stockings!

View from my room (:

Went back to hotel and rest abit before heading down to the Lotte Supermarket to buy some snacks for alcohol for the evening.

A lot of kimchi. Looked and tasted abit cause we were all intended to buy back to Singapore.

Hskimchi is good!

We ended up buying Kimchi from Hskimchi at the last day cause it's the first and best we tried.

I am happy girl at supermarkets!!!

Changed back into boots cause the night was cold. Back to the streets of Myeongdong! Love Myeongdong at nights, shopping outdoor with shiok weather!

Street Food!

SPAO

We went to SPAO cause Eugene wants to get some SNSD from Everysing!

Such a cosy fan shop right! He left empty handed but we shopped SPAO a bit. The clothes there are very nice and so many levels. Eugene left with quite a number of clothes. He wanted to go back there but it was closed already.

Lotte Hotel Handphones~

This so good. We get free incoming calls so here's how we get each other in Korea. Because we can't seem to get any prepaid cards. We were told it takes a week to be activated and their 7-11 stores don't carry any.

Dinner time, Korean again lol!

Steam egg

First time trying this Korean way. Good cause of the cold day. Veron was telling us that this is usually given when there are kids dining in. So i am the kid? hehe!

Ginseng Chicken!

Been craving for this since we step foot into Korea, really good and fragrant.

Bulgogi Pork

Coca Cola in glass bottles

Melvin why so fierce!

Melvin and Eugene!

One last shot with the boys before we went back to the hotel. Slept at 2-3am for all nights in Korea, thankfully for all the masks i bought there, can't let the skin suffer! (:
