Korea SEP Part IV

One random weekend, boon leng and I went shopping at Ewha's women university streets!
I vaguely remember being there in 2008 during nj ksa korea exchange!
It was winter then and i clearly rmb there was nothing to buy.
Few years down the road with a different companion, didnt find much to buy either.
Maybe too guilty bringing a guy to a place with few selection of guys clothings.
Like i conned him to go there with me. hoho. 
Clothes are cheap BUT there are cheaper and nicer ones
at gangnam underground station!
But anyway note to self that ewha women university area has cheap hair salons!
I did my magic(hair straightening) and hair colouring for 130,000 won! 
Less than $150 sgd in total. muahahaha. 
Good quality also. 
Eat a few mouths then realised forgot to take picture. OOPS.





Oh holy. shop full of leopard PREEEENs

Our group excursion to gyeongbukgong the national museum.








Too cheapo to buy entrance ticket into palace. See palace from outside instead. 

And we walked all the way to itaewon. Quite near but probably need to walk 15 minutes.



We ate Hotteok! Some sweet bun inside with peanut and syrup thingy.
All at 1000 won each! 
Nice nice! But its freaking hot. 

Who wants to open this stall in Singapore? 
Think there's a market for this. haha. 
Singapore, anything food. 
Signing off.

Mugging on a Good Friday

Mugging in school on a Good Friday!
Never explored this part of utown before!
Really conducive! Me likes. 
But hard to find tables and chairs.
All the muggers come chop seats early!
But the tables have plug point and cable point! 
Useful useful. No more worries about no plug points! 






We got a little crazy trying to lick the snow flakes! HAHA. 






Having fun playing with our "twins'



keke
more camwhores!

Korea SEP Part III

I have no recollection when this day is but its one of the weekends we had no work and off to Myeongdong we went!
I must have been to myeongdong at least 10 times in my 4 month stay there. wahahaha
My shopping heaven
With forever 21 (favourite!), cosmetic shops, and random stalls. 

Lunchie lunchie in myeongdong! 
Kimchi jigae-Kimchi stew with pork. SPICY AHHH. 
Weather too hot! We need a cold cold drink.

This super sweet snack is found on the streets of myeongdong! And i swear its really sweet.
One should share because you cannot get pass a few bites. 
Apparrently its supposed to be a game. 
We see people trying to peel of the sides and you are supposed to get the middle shape without breaking the shape. 
I think you get to win something but i never found out what.



At the supposedly attraction-cathedral.
Nothing much around there. just had to climb this slope to get up here. 

Night view of Myeongdong. super loves.

We spot a love motel at some weird alley. 
Korea known for its love motel!!

Dinner dinner some Jeyuk dobbap
Also hot hot hot. 
And my messy dorm room after unpacking!


In korea you can bring pets into the malls! 
Subway too i think!
Yea and eat and drink on the subway!


My office table. Provided with a cui laptop. LAGGGGGGG. 
A very very budget meal with ling yan on a random day.
No money. Internship don't pay well. 
Korean side dishes yum yum.

Jan pong ramyeong. Seafood ramen! Spicy. Korea everything spicy. 
This one even more spicy. AHH

Happy ling yan can withstand spiciness very well. 
They gave us an apron each too! So thoughtful


Little snack. I dunno what is it made up of. Shopping after work one day i think. 
Yeap thats all for now.

-Love,
Mel
