Korean Holiday (Part 1)

10th December 2012 (Monday) - Off to Seoul!

After lots of sleep the day before to try to cure my sleep deprivation from Zoukout just one day before, I went off to Seoul with my mother and brother! =) We took a night flight out!

At the check-in lines after having our baggage checked in! =)

These two furiously going at their phones.

All ready to watch lots of movies on the in-flight entertainment system! =) I think I barely slept 2 hours!

Arrived in Seoul Incheon Airport at 6am! First signs of ice and snow at the airport!! =) EXCITED.

11th December 2012 (Tuesday) - Seoul

We took the bus from the airport straight to our hotel's doorstep! The bus was really cheap and comfy! It was the tour kind of bus so we managed to take a quick nap because our hotel was roughly an hour's drive away!

Decided to wear my fur coat for our exploration trip to Myeongdong! Our hotel, Best Western Premier Kukdo Hotel, is a 5-10 minute walk to Myeongdong and a 15-20 minute walk to Dongdaemun! It's really at a really good location!

My brother and mother all bundled up!

We were starving because we haven't had lunch and it was already 3pm! Went into the first Korean BBQ restaurant that we spotted in Myeongdong! I think we had Korea BBQ/Hotpot for every lunch and dinner throughout the holiday except for 4-5 meals! HAHA.

There are a million and one side dishes! It was totally impossible to finish considering that my brother didn't eat anything except the BBQ meat!

After a very late lunch, we went shopping within Myeongdong! There are soo many Korean cosmetic shops! Ended up buying more than a hundred facial masks throughout my trip! Also bought the Temple Viper Poison and Snail Slime nail masks which were the "in-things" in Korea! There was also a Cath Kidson store and the store decorations were so pretty! Bambi is so =)

Saw these adorable dog clothing being sold on a cart! Couldn't buy any because they were all so thick or made in fleece - my dog would have died of heatstroke.

Dinner was also in Myeongdong! Korean sukiyaki/bbq!

It was quite weird because we start of with a sukiyaki and then after we were done eating the stuff in the pot, the waitress then came over to fry some kind of rice/bibimbap-like dish?!?!? Haha, it was really weird.

Ended the night at Starbucks! These kind of places really makes one feel like you're in your home country. Trying on my brother's new hat! I told him he looked like a hunter off to kill some game or something! HAHA. Had to go to bed early because we had an early morning bus ride to High 1 Ski Resort! =)

Part 2 and 3 up soon =)
