trip to Seoul @ Monday, November 15, 2010
Pictures from Korea! Went there with Ayano in late October.Please don't ask me why these are mostly photos of food...I didn't take a single picture of the scenery actually. It was a short 3days2nights trip and we only managed to go around Myongdong and Sinchong area. We did visit TongDeMun but it was quite under expectation.
Shopping for clothes in Korea may not be my style. But nonetheless, shopping for cosmetics was quite cool. The shops which specially pleased me was THE FACE SHOP, ETUDE HOUSE and MISSHA. I love the purple eye liner I bought from THE FACE SHOP!
And since I am a cheapo, I love it when the shop girl gave me lots of samples whenever I buy some cosmetics from each store. Seriously, they have millions of stocks such that they can afford to distribute samples for free.
I enjoyed shopping in Myongdong! There stood my favorite stores like FOREVER 21, ZARA and
H&M <3
Samgedan??? Pardon the spelling...but this was the first thing I ate in Seoul.
This was exactly what we needed because that morning was utterly cold and we were craving for something warm. The mochi-like rice in the chicken was <3.
Myself in traditional Korean costume. I really think I have this Asian look.
This was the special service they offered at the Korean SPA place.
Korean dessert! I can't do without it :p
Well, we faced some trouble on the last day because a typhoon hit Tokyo and our flight was delayed till the following morning. Our 7pm flight was postponed to 7am the next morning...and the airport didn't offer us any meal coupons or at least something. So Ayano and I stayed in Macdonalds for like 4 hours. We ate, we chatted, we forced ourselves to stay awake.
The airport was so cold that I bet we could have caught a cold if we slept in the lobby. Incheon airport is supposed to be the hub airport in Asia but it didn't seem much appealing to me...or maybe I failed to find good points of the airport.
Well, we managed to kill time and got ourselves safely back in Tokyo.
Anyways, I'm very very happy I had the chance to travel with Ayano before our graduation (I've actually graduated already though :p) I hope I'll have another chance in spring.
Well, I have to prepare for my interview tomorrow....
