SIN-ICN
Anneyong Haseyo fellow chinggus. Well it was a well worth short trip but really meaningful. On 22th February, i entered the border of South Korea for the third time. Yeah it was my third time. First was with family in 2008, then 2010 with siblings following by 2013 with my brother. I really love South Korea. Okay let me try to summarize where did i go and what did i do. On the morning of 22th February i headed for Seoul on SQ600, it was a morning flight. Its my 2nd time taking SQ on my flight to Seoul and i really like their Service, very warm and enjoy my flight throughout. You know the feeling when the plane is at full throttle and the next moment, you'll see the small red dot. All you can do is shout for joy " Oh yeah! Goodbye everyone,stress! hahaha". I always do that every time the plane lift off from the runaway. So our flight was around 6hrs + additional 1 hr time difference. We arrived in Seoul at 3.30pm

Bukchon Hanok Village and Apgujeong Rodeo
Today we had our breakfast at Paris Croissant Cafe. Brother love it so much that whenever he saw this cafe, he sure will buy the chocolate pretzel and a cup of Caramel Macchiato. It was my first time in three trips going to Bukchon. It was a really tiring journey, we took 3 hrs at Bukchon itself from the beautiful Hanok houses to high class cafes around the area. Bukchon area is located near Angguk where all the traditional houses and rich bungallows are situated at. I shall show you the picture later, next up we headed to Apgujeong Rodeo. Apgujeong Rodeo is another high class street where you often see Equuos, Merc, bentley in this area. It is believe that hallyu stars and idols shop or often found shopping around this area. So we give it a shot and look at it. This is my first time too. Wow seriously i didnt found the Apgujeong Rodeo Arc but we are satisfied with what we saw. This place has really high standard. Like those in the dramas and movies.

Seoul Tower, Itaewon, Banpo Bridge & Apgujeong Rodeo Today we got up to have a morning walk at Namsan foot. We took a cable car up to Namsan Seoul Tower, It was my third time up there. Really nice place to be. The view here is really fantastic, if you readers have the chance to visit Seoul, this is a must place to visit! No doubt.There's this place on top of Seoul Tower where couples put a love lock here. There's so many of them and everytime i visit here, the numbers just increasing. Maybe next time when i have a girlfriend we shall put a lock here too. Okay we took a cab to Itaewon where i brought brother to Seoul Grand Mosque, the only Mosque in Seoul. They going to have an upgrading soon, next time the mosque will be bigger and can accomodate more people during friday prayers. No doubt, once i had a chance of performing my friday prayers here, i was at the roadside and it was -5 degrees at that time. Really freezing but satisfied. Totally new experience for me. Okay then we headed to Banpo Bridge. This Banpo bridge is situated near the Hanggang River. The unique thing about this two tier bridge is that comes at night, there will be a nice rainbow colour fountain. But too bad it was during late afternoon that i arived here. Not really satisfied but really i should go again. We had Coffee at Hollys Coffee, its really the next coffee cafe you need to go and its really huge here in Korea.After that we visited Apgujeong Rodeo street again, not to have disappointed with our first try, we visited the place again. We get to see posh boutique like LV, MCM, PRADA,Gucci etc here. To our most delight we found the newest SM Entertainment Dance Studio! Around the corner is JYP, Cube Entertainment. Guess i'm one step closer to them.

Lotte World Theme Park
So today we visited Lotte World Theme Park. We had Lunch here then we visited Lotte World. At the restaurant we are at, we are well served by this girl name Jjo Kko. She really treated me well and always smile when seeing me. The bill comes first and when i look, she put a heart shape beside her name.I was like , ohmo she's so pretty can i get her number haha?! She speak english well and recommend us what to order. She's really good and i don't mind going to the same restaurant if she's here. Hehe. We parted off then we headed over to Toysrus. We bought Tayo the famous korean cartoon toy of brother's friends son. It was really troublesome and i needed to use some of my korean to ask if its still available. Haha luckily my korean can make it though. We were proscastinating to ice skate or not. Then we just walk around. I bought Weesin's Newera Cap here too. He was so happy when i message him i saw his cap here and straightaway bought it. Then we walk around lotte world, has krispykreme and we headed back to Myeongdong. Wow this must have been my best trip so far. No doubt.

Namdaemun Market , National Assembly, 63 City
Wow, its ending soon, i am sad though. Okay we wake up morning went over to Namdaemun Market to see some stuff. Haha i can tell you as a guy, we bought a lot of cosmetics from Nature Republic. They were having 50% discount, shh better don't let the girls know about it or they will go crazy about it. After buying stuffs here we went back to put our stuff and went over to National Assembly. It was so quiet here because its a financial district and the famous KBS station is here. It was my first time too. Really worth it. We spend our morning here and really had a good lunch around here. We took metro to Yeouido station. We went up to the sky art at 63 and it was a magnificent view awaits everyone who paid to go and see. At the top got this one little girl she's very cute. She go infront at the window and shout " Eomma!, eoddiseyo?!, Bogosippeyo!" It means Mum!, where are you i miss you. Haha her voice make it more cute. Rose agree with me after i showed her the picture and video. It really made my day. I miss the little cute girl. What is unique about these kids, in winter they wear so many layers and they look really chubby. Okay from the top is a 360 view of Seoul with 8 or 9 Bridges linking the downtown Seoul. From the top it looks like lego blocks. Really nice. Then we walk past the neighbourhood and School really nice.

Guys if you have any comments or planning to have a trip to Seoul in future do let me know. I don't mind for a 4th trip and beyond. Perhaps one of my korean friend name Naeun Rose said she'll be back in Seoul and she's jealous that i know Seoul more than her. I guess we will meet soon, i'm sure she will meet me cause on my 2nd trip she did kakaotalk me about my trip. She says she will study places where i've not visit before. hehe goodluck on that Rose!Haha can't wait.
