Korea Travelogue - Part 1

So.. We booked our tickets and 6 months later, we were on our way to Korea!
We waited so long for this day to come! But it left too quickly! ):
Let's hit the replay button! 

Anyway, this is the first trip with my #lupsupkidz and we had a total of 288 hours in Korea!! 

Departure day - 23 May 2014 
Took half day leave because I wasn't sure if I can make it if I end at 5 hahhaha I'm kiasu like that! So I went home to.. TAKE A NAP! 
Met the girls at the airport at ard 1930hrs to check in before we part again to have dinner with our parents! 

At departure!  

While strolling to the gate! 

My mates on the plane! 

All going to sleep and nua then the hair so nice -.-

First glimpse of light!!! :D 


Wake up first thing in the morning.. force ppl to take picture hahahahah! 


 Day 1 - 24 May 2014 - Arrived at Incheon Airport! 



On the train to Seoul Station! 









On the train to MyeongDong!

At our first lunch place! 



Lunch was pork cutlet kimbab x cold noodle x cheese ramen x tteokbokki

T MONEYYY

And then we checked in while Carmen and Fer went to buy EXO concert merchandise! 
Initial plan was to check in and then go out again to explore a little of Myeong Dong. But tiredness got the better of us so.. we decided to nua a little in the guesthouse. Ohh our home for the 11 nights was at Namsan Guesthouse 4! All the reviews was sooooo good but when we reached.... /: Idk, maybe their review was for the other guesthouse 2/3. We even wanted to cancel, get a refund and move to other guesthouse! Hahaha but all was fully booked sooooo, we just made do with this! There was a private bathroom, BUT IT WASN'T ATTACHED TO THE ROOM. It was just... across the "living room". What.....
Lucky the 2nd room we moved into was better but.. onto the last 2 nights, the air con started leaking. WTS...

Pictures looks ok right.... 



We nua alllll the way until Carmen and Fer came back then we head out for dinner! We decided to just roam ard Myeong Dong because we were all tired from the flight. Only person who slept very well on the plane was Carmen. Fer and I tossed and turned like mad! Hhahaha! 

Streets of Myeong Dong! 




Spicy steamed chicken with seafood! Which was damn good!!

Then we split up to roam ard a little! So we crossed over to Young Plaza! & we had Gong Cha! Like as if SG don't have right~ 

While walking home, we stopped by for this!! SOOOOO GOOD AS WELL! 

Ended day 1 early as all of us was super tired!

Day 2 - 25 May 2014
To Yeongdeungpo for underground shopping because weather forecast say it's gonna rain! 

No idea what to have for breakfast so we just bought this to share before we look for real food! 

Morning faces hahahahaha~  

Best is to let Fer do it! 



Brunch was at a foodcourt!!


Bibimbap!

Jajangmyun & Tang Su Yuk! 

They call this mee hoon kueh hahahaha. 

EVEN FOODCOURT FOOD WAS DAMN GOOD! Hahahah everything in Korea is good! IDW TO COME HOME ):

After lunch, we walked ard Times Square! Then we chanced upon this cafe! 

Mix and Bake!  








Strawberry Tart x Tiramisu Tart x Mango Bingsoo x Green Tea Latte x Chocolate x Early Grey Tea x Coffee

Joyce and I wanted 3 more slices of cakes but Fer, our mum in Korea says no ): Hahahahah! & lucky she said no because we were kinda full after these!

Headed on to Dong Dae Mun to look for shoes!! Because I didn't bring a pair to wear with my dress heheheh!

While waiting for train, TAKE PICTURES!

Ah Mel! :D

Then they kidnapped my camera to take more pictures!


Infamous awkward smile which everyone is so good at it now!

Omg we meet in Seoul. Not that close but let's take a picture! HAHAHA.



We alighted at the wrong station and once we stepped out of the train, LOOK WHAT GREETED US! :D
 But too bad the concert's longgg over ):

........

Awkward smile all day all night

Dong Dae Mun shoe street

The long long stream which is linked from... City Hall?


#lupsupkidz on the streets of Dong Dae Mun

Walked around and I finally bought a pair of shoe!! Hahaha! Then we decided to head back home to drop off our things and to let Carmen change out of her contacts before heading out for BBQ dinner, just below our guesthouse!

Our loots from underground shopping!!

 BBQ DINNER!!!



Went to walk around at Myeong Dong again after dinner because it was too early to head back to sleep but too late to travel to somewhere further because we have to go back to pack for Busan! Bought lip mask and immediately went back to apply it! Hahahaha!

Carmen with the lip mask already hahahahah.

LIP MASK GROUPFIE! Hahahaha!!

YOUNG LUPSUP!!

Think we took this when Joyce and I were accompanying Fer to search for places to go in Busan and also how to get to our guesthouse! Heheheh! Also... 3 of us was always the last to sleep! Hahaha like every single night!! HAHAHAH!

#lupsupkidz might not be the most glam name for a group of 5 girls but really... I'm sooo glad to have them in my life. Reason why we're called lupsupkidz, quite self explanatory right? Hahaha cause we're LUPSUP!

Errrrrr, this sums up the first 2 days of my 12 days in Korea!! Will be back with other parts yo!!! :D
