Tuesday, November 03, 2015




Helloooo!!
I mentioned that I was rushing to Busan Station to take KTX to Seoul on my last post about my visit to Busan Trickeye Museum. Remember to check it out if you haven't read it yet! :)

So yeahh, after we checked out from Hotel Noah, we took the subway from Jagalchi Station, 자갈치역 to Busan Station, 부산역. We bought our KTX ticket about 1 month in advance through online booking. When we arrived at the station, we straight away headed to the ticket counter to claim our tickets. You need to be aware that all the trains leave the station on schedule. So, you have to reach the platform and get on the train earlier than the scheduled time. KTX is Korea's high-speed train, so the journey from Busan to Seoul took 2 and a half hours only.



We took subway from Seoul Station, 서울역 to Chungmuro Station, 충무로역, where our hotel located. We stayed at Vella Suite Hotel for all the days we were in Seoul. I'll do a hotel review soon, I have SO MUCH to talk about this hotel (unfortunately, mostly negative comments).

We headed to Sinsadong next and the best known street for shopping in Sinsadong is Garosu-gil! You can find many shops selling beauty products and clothes, pretty cafes and restaurants. That street was pretty cool because I felt like that place was meant for fashionistas hahahaha! Everyone was so well dressed and pretty!

Directions to Sinsadong:
1. Take Subway Line 1 (orange line) to Sinsa Station, 신사역.

2.  Come out from Exit 8.





The first thing we did at Garosu-gil was to find a restaurant for dinner! There are more cafes and pubs than restaurants so we took quite some time to find a restaurant. We walked around and finally found this restaurant!


An ahjumma was standing outside the restaurant to greet us and she can speak a little bit of Chinese! I don't know why but I was extremely happy when I found someone that can speak Chinese or English in Korea, maybe because I was so tired of translating HAHAHAHA xD We told her that we would like to order lesser to share it instead of ordering one portion each before going into the restaurant as we had experienced many times that we can't share our food during the past few days. The ahjumma was very kind and she allowed us to do so. She even recommended us what to order and taught us how to eat like Koreans. :')





쭈꾸미볶음 - Stir fried small octopus with 삼겹살, pork belly and bean sprouts.

 비빔밥 Bibimbap - Mixed rice.

The ahjumma taught us to wrap the octopus and pork belly with the lettuce, bean sprouts, radish and kimchi. It was so delicious!!!! 


We went to Line Friends Cafe & Store after our dinner! I wanted to meet the giant Brown so badly although I'm not a big fan of LINE. For those of you who don't know Brown, Brown is one of the character of LINE and LINE is a communication app, something like Whatsapp.













 The LINE Friends Cafe is at the basement level.
