*Big waves*
Back from seoul!
The trip was great! Enjoyed it very much!
Weather was cool (albeit a tad too cold when it rains), Food was yummy, Shopping was not bad (didn’t manage to get clothes and shoes though), Sight-seeing was good, Company was great!
Though I didnt really buy much (still have quite some money left), here's a peek at my acquisitions..
Compared to aust whereby I would need a collage of 4 photos to show my shoppg spree, this time round i only need 1.
Alrite, 2 if you include this. All my skincare and misc.
Korean brands such as skin food, face shop and Laneige are much cheaper there. =) 
And they are so much into free gifts. Here are all the free gifts!
Never had a comprehensive entry on my holiday overseas so here comes.
Day 1
Arrival at Seoul Incheon Airport. We didn’t book any airport transfer so we had to find our way to the airport shuttle bus. Got harassed by numerous taxi drivers and an angmoh. (Guess my travel mates got a little freaked out but I was kinda used to it.)
Anyway what was most throw face was that we had to lug our luggage all the way from the main road to our hostel as the bus stops only at the main road. The 10-15min walk was full of noise from the friction of our luggage wheels and the uneven road.
But alas, we found our hostel.
Gosh I would never stay there again I swear. Our room sucked. Toilet was as tiny as those on the plane (and there isn’t any wash basin). To top it off, our room was right above the drain. Imagine the drainage smell lingering in our room whole day. (Thanks to Dettol we survived!) YX n WJ’s room wasn’t as bad though. But I am utterly disgusted by my room.
The really tiny toilet which forever stinks of sewage (drainage sucks)
PS not forgetting the drain smell coming in from the window! Gosh
Left the hostel and shopped at Dongdaemun for a couple of hours as we had to rush back before 12 as the train would stop at 12, wherever it may be (Weird system in Seoul, huh)
Dinner at one of the foodcourts was good. *Photos awaiting.
