Seoul 2016/ Day 2

Day 2 started around 11am for us. I slept for almost 11 hours, Zonia clocked 12!
Breakfast was usually fruits and milk. It was the strawberries we got the night before and Zonia's favorite banana milk!

Prettiest baby breaths!!

Myeongdong by day!

The place was packed! We waited for about 15 minutes for a table. Thankful for Zonia who loves korean culture, cuisine, language so she helped us with the orders throughout the trip. She also knew exactly what to order!
We ordered the seafood platter. The platter itself comes with ham, sausages, kimchi. The seafood option came with mussels and we added 1 serving of noodles and 1 serving of rice. The noodles were served together with the platter and when you finish, call the service staff and they will take the pan to the kitchen. They will bring it back with rice! I think they use the remaining sauce from the initial pan to cook the rice!

Walked on and just had to walk into this Tak Girl shop! Super catchy and pretty, I left the shop with another 2 caps at 10,000 won each! Sudden love for pink caps this trip after my pink Adidas one!

Cutest Redeye shop with huge mickey and minnie plushies for photo taking!

We carried on to explore Bukchon Hanok Village! Mommy loves the old houses there!

My third time to Gyeongbokgung but the first time I didn't have the pay the 3000 won entrance fee because it was children's day and there was free entrance for everybody yay!

First family shot yay! Loving my new camera, Sony 6000, so handy and the lens we bought was super good- have my favorite bokeh hehe!

Continued on to Dongdaemun cause there was a lantern festival. The roads were closed for the festival. Didn't excite us a lot so we continued to do some light shopping. We were on the section 1 of Dongdaemun which was a little more boring. To cover Dongdaemun again!

Selfies with Zonia!

Headed back to Myeongdong for Yoogane! We went to the one which is on Level 2. They actually allow us to order just 3 servings of chicken instead of the 1 per pax policy! The other outlet probably the main one which is on Level 1 doesn't allow.

Dear reader, because of the language barrier in Korea, it was a challenge to get the exact names and addresses of all the places I ate at! I will try to pen down the directions best to my ability. Hopefully, it is sufficient and useful for you to navigate there!
