Baachan: Seoul trip (SHOPPING+SIGHTSEEING) 6th-19th July 2011

Just because i FEEL LIKE sharing them here^^
I spent 2 weeks with my 4 OTHER AMIGOS in Seoul.^^ yeahh.. It was awesome trip^^.

We mostly shopping at namdaemun, dongdaemun, insadong(to eat jajangmyeon?), MYEONGDEONG (My fav place>< ), Dongdaemun, jamshil, Ehwa women's univ..

HOWEVER... Our money mostly spent for foods T.T and transportation.huhu. We ate a lot.yess.. Cafe bene,family mart+7eleven(for banana uyu>< ) twosome, lotteria.. I WILL MISS YOU A LOT! T..T

For d 1st 3 days we stayed at Hapjeong. Yeah, u're right. We passed by YG building every single day when we got back hostel and at 1 night i CAUGHT a GROUP OF FANGILRS waiting outside while drop by COMBI shop for banana uyu xD.LOL.

I like KIM'S guesthouse.The toilet, room size is big.. and the bread is very yummy xD.. But it's kinda far from the subway stat>< 15 minutes walking T_T..


The rest days we stayed at Bangrang in Chungjeongno. it's freaking 1 minute from subway xD.
But the room is very small and no wifi in the room. We camped at lobby every single night to get access to internet.=.='. But glad the lobby is very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay there so much =).

O.K now,, let's move on to places we went>< *push aside all the fangirling event 1st.. xD..
We went to Hangang river cruiseee. yeahhhhh. it was really niceeee.(Even got a magic show and live concerts something. The magic show is very niceee.. May be cuz It's the 1st time I saw magic show infront my eyes. (Still mesmerized w/ the floating table trick.. kkk.)

We went on the last night because prev it raining haru jongil and the ferry stopped operating like 1 week or so.. t.t..
but we still can make it for the last night~^^ .


Itaewon. We ate foods there since there got many halal foods*_*.also, a big mosque is located here, and u need to climb~kkk. Drop by itaewon stat. and take exit 3..*if not mistaken*  >< or u can ask the info center before making ur way out.hehe. nvm, i FOUND U THE map.kkk
 http://wikimapia.org/458670/Itaewon-Central-Mosque-Seoul

If u're really hungry, just eat at lotteria cause it's kinda everywhere (shrimp burger for muslims). It's really taste good>< I'm addicted to it now T.T

Next, Myeongdeong..Sells many kpop items.. however i FOUND OUT some stalls are selling non-official items at not very cheap price=.='.. and somehow,, the choice is limited.huhuhuhu~.
It's actually easy if u buy them online.. i MEANT.. KPOP MERCHANDISES.
For CD+dvd, worry not, u can found it everywhere.>< synnara, kyobo, yongpoong bookstore, even on 3rd floor at nature republic in Myeongdeong>< . Hwever, here i WOULD LIKE to suggest pretty cheap kpop goods selling CDs+official items... it's located in exit 5 or 6 at myeongdeong subway stat. Don't go outside, it's underground shop, and very small area. u CAN FOUND THEM EASILY IF U walk around at the underground myeongdeong stat.. there are 3 shops~ =DD. go surver the price before deciding where to buy.ha-ha~ I preferred THE SHOP THAT SELLS many t-money  cards tho one of the owner kinda not friendly.kkk.~

NATURE REPUBLIC is everywhereee. (I recommend u go to the big one at myeongdeong nearby exit 5(if not mistaken). So you know the awesomeness of this brand cuz of our oppa JYJ , rAIN AND THE FAMOUS drama star JANG Geun seuk??XDDD yeah.. if not because of them I dun think i fancy or even bother to shop there xD...  Anyway....
 I actually found out the products they offer are quite convincing>< Love the discounts, the product they offered, FREE GIFTS,and the price is very affordable compared to other shop like etude, face shop blah3~,
Here some products i BOUGHT:
*ignore my pretty kain batik*
ehem.. At 1st, i asked the lady about cleansing face product and leads me to various of choices.o.0. i was so tempted to grab them all. T.T But decided to stick with alove vera since recently my skin kinda dried.. jyj mask is so tempting, and it's a sinful not to grab it>
The blackhead removal? was recommended by my friends.haha~
 the lip bum.. yeah.. the case is pretty cute>< But after using it, it's quite good~^^
Lastly. the make up removal cream (only RM3!) AFTER 50% DISCount. So, mus tgrab o.K!
oH NOT YEt.. THE PREFUME STick.xD no discount but it's pretty cute and small. I like the smell too.=).  Also the famous B.B cream that make your face look shining*___*. kkkk~. I like SPF 40 better since the tone suit my skin color better =p.  It's very easy to apply and not very oily.. just nice lah =). also, IT'S CHEAP!.haha ABOUT RM15 each><

B.B cream SPF30. I bought this cause of the discount=.=/ Use it many2 times already^^~
My friends said my face looks very white~lol.
 Free gift facemask which I have yet to decide when to use><

I think this one is unique~haha~ 

Also, they have free gift (if u ask OR they'll forgot something xD).. I asked for JYJ free gift.LOL. 
aND HE ASKED who is my fav mmber, i SAID jejung!, he then grabbed jejung's file+mini standee*_*.I should just ask for JYJ photobok. lol.



ETUDE HOUSE... 
I only check out this shop cuz i customer asked for nail pen art. But balck color is sold out>< I asked everywhereeeee.=.='.. they only have white one..huhu.. I tot i won't grab anything from etude house, LOL..
But at INCHEON airport.. T.T.. i managed to grab this one lipstick product. you're right.. etude is enriched with eye+lip products><  *LOL. they spell it 'lip glass' xDDD* I like its shine~^^~ kkk. not very revealing yet present?^^~

 Enough about cosmetic thingy.. xD.. 

MOVE ON TO SOME (alot actaully) Kpop items i bought xD

Bought from various places. I think the one from MYEONGDEONG is the cheapest and got free poster.*____*. JYJ nature republic shop also give free poster (some albums/dvd). an sell magazines as well.>< .

LOTTE WORLD..
I recommend you go on weekdays and also, watch out for discount coupons on KTO site. o.k u can save alot like 20-25% discounts! 
HOWEVER, If 're not much fan of thrilling ride,or roller coaster stuff,, may be it won't worth much.

hmmm.. the ride are pretty o.k>< I like the floating balloons?.. and paraoh's fury..and car bumper xD it ! Lotte world mostly had like 4D thingies and make yoU FELL KINDA DIZZY AFTER LIKE 3-4  4D movies=.='. 

the pirate ship something? according to my friends is very scary o.0.. like after try once, u won't be able to ride it anymore.LOL.. 

Also, after u get out from lotte world them park, dun forget to visit STAR AVENUE because the ticket u bought for lotte world can be use to enter STAR avenue as well^^..Just ask the worker where it is located.  But last time i WENT it only have JYJ (YESH!) , BIGBANG, 2PM, and hyunjung a bit.

Lotte world is located in Jamshil.FYI, Jamshil is one kind of big underground shopping mall. =). I love the stationary shop there. bOUT MANY CUTE STICKERS>< ..
and also... jeng3.. 


A set of polaroid camera stuffxD. Seriously this cost me so much (more than piropiro) ehem. of course^^.
 I tried it 4 times already.haha. 2 pictures i gave to Yoseob+Kibum together with my fanletter=.='
Hmm.. what can i SAY,, It's very simple, and i LOVE It so much! i KNOW THE FILM WILL COST ME so much in future, but who cares as long as i LIKE IT xD
63 building is located nearby yuionaru stat (take bus to 63 city from exit 1 *if not mistaken, or u can ask the staff at the station which bus number to take) .. So i SUGGEST YOU GO on FRIDAY (MUBANK xD) AND COMbine with hangang cruise at night!~.. 

Namsan Tower~ Seriously this place had many access .. >< hmm.. u search for yourself or google map urself which way u want to come fromxD... U can take cable car too.
BUT PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB UP TO THE TOP! It's very steep and u'll pancit halfway=.='.
Also, go when u feel energetic cause it's quite a tiring visit=.='.
hMM.. When u reach at the Namsan tower feet,?=.=' (sorry for my vocab), u can buy ticket to take u to the observatory area. I bought combine ticket (CHEAPER) with teddy bear museums( VERY NICEEEEE). and u can ask for discount.LOL. I always ask for discount everywhere I go xDDDDD..

Namisun aka Nami Island..

This famous plACE FOR winter sonata shooting.. what can i SAY.. the place is very isolated.(haha).and yeah, it's very beautiful.. i THINK IT'S more beautiful if go during autumn/ winter.>
it's quite far from centre seoul.about 2hours journey by train+subway.. u can act. take shuttle bus.. hmm.. and after arrive at (I forgot the station name).. u take taxi/ bus to then  take ferry that will bring u to nami island >< 
A halal restaurant (refer to pamphlet) can be found at namisun.woot2. nasi goncang.kkkk~ it taste good, I love to take it with fish soup>< very nicee

TIPS and ADVICE:
1)Prepare some Korean words. It is actually quite annoying and bothering if u can't comunicate very well since you will need to ask help from local people even u got direction with u =p.BELIEVE ME.

2) Prepare your trip (Esp if u plan to do fangirling xD)! you dun want to waste your time planning and end up realising.. oh,, still have many places to visit>< 

3) Prepare lots of cash. nOT MANY currency exchange shop want to accept MYR..kalau adapun, agak tinggi rate dia>< ...KEB (korea excahange bank) may be accept according to the lady I asked at one  currency exchange shop..

4) bring lots of food. if ur'e muslim, maggi will be ur best friend, and those rendang2 segera, berahim, and may be ikan bilis xXDD.. u can buy instant rice at combi shop, or may be just simple kedai runcit also have it. 
and u eat egg~ kk.

5) Be familiar with subway map.

6) always ask for discount when shopping xD.. U never knowww.. Korea is kind and they love giving discounts.~haha.

7) T-money card (for subway+bus+train)~ I got it freee from KTO and it has 4000 won inside*_*.. otherwise, u need to buy from t-money machine (every subway has this machine), and it cost 3000 won just for the card itself.then, u need to load it ..
 normally price per trip is like 900 won~. it's actually pretty cheap... hmm .for more info, go to the respective site yourself xD~
8) u'LL WALK a lot.. so, prepare comfortable shoes~

that's all for now.. tomorrow I'll write about 'FANGIRLING TRIP' ~ MUBANK, MCORE, MNET, AND INKI fanaccount~ kkk~
