Dawon Shop
Amethyst Factory
Dongdaemun Market : Doota
Lunch at Dongdaemun Market
Incheon International Airport

Breakfast @ Koreana Hotel

So today is our last day in Seoul! :(
Good news is,we will go shopping the whole day today!
We had breakfast at the Koreana Hotel. I ate the same thing also like Day 2..
After checkout and all, we went to Dawon Shop. I think it's a health shop.
They sells raisins products which good for your health because it helps to clean your inside.

ajussi the bus driver!haha nice bow tie huh?

Amethyst Factory

Then, we proceed to Amethyst Factory Store at Yeoeuido-dong,Youngdungpo-gu, Seoul, Korea. weird and long names huh?haha they give us 50% for every purchase inside.
Amethyst is another specialty of Korea besides Technology, Korean ginseng, Kim Chi and Cosmetic. Amethyst is a purple gemstone from Korea, which they believe the gemstone will bring you goodluck and $$ will come to you. haha superstitious huh? But my mum bought a necklace here, it costs around USD 330. You can either pay in USD or KRW. They don't accept any Malaysian Ringgit here. So guys, better bring enough KRW or USD whenever you go travel.

Dongdaemun Market

Next stop, Dongdaemun Market, shopping kingdom!yayyyy!
Finally Dongdaemun Market is open for business! Dongdaemun is the largest market in Asia, and they have approximately 45000 mini shops inside the department store. Doota is the main store in Dongdaemun, According to Annie, most korean celebrities also buy clothes from here. Almost every shop in Doota regardless how big or small they are, most of them already have their own factory....so the price is slightly expensive than Migliore, Insadong and other places.They open at 10am and closed at 5am.
I managed to buy some clothes again,wallet for baby,some oleh-oleh for my friends and i think that's all.

Lunch at Dongdaemun market
At 1pm, we have to gather near dongdaemun market to eat lunch.
We are having Korean Steamboat for lunch..guess what,its all seafood, no meat at all.
Haihh,my biggest turnoff is anything that is boil/steam seafood( but it depends).
so i don't really eat much for lunch, i just eat the korean Claypot.
It taste pretty good but a bit tasteless. I think most korean prefer eating less salt and maybe that explains why almost all koreans ladies and their gentleman is so thin..good for them :D

Korean Claypot rice

it is tasteless,so you have to add sou sauce and chili sauce.

Got simple birthday party for the Ahjumma, she's 87 years old? or something like that..

ahhhhhhh,he's one of the photographer :D i cant find mr.James picture!

Incheon International Airport

I think around 2pm like that we're heading to Incheon International Aiport which is quite far from Seoul City. It took around 1 hour plus actually.
Our flight is at 6.25pm ( 5.25pm Msia)..
We reached KK at 10pm,which is few minutes earlier.
Below picture is taken at Incheon Airport...These costume man suddenly come out and walk around there..;D niceeee

Bubye Korea,i promise i'll come back again!

Eastar Jet : Meal On Board

I still love KK the most~
I miss my bed so badly:D
My brother in law picked us up at the airport on time,so we no need to wait that long :D
Overall, I didn't shop a lot here because of not enough time and some stuffs is quite expensive in Korea..
I'm quite disappointed actually:(
Anyway, I met baby for breakfast just now and complaint lah~.
Thanks baby, you janji odi kan bawa me continue shopping here~hehe :D
We bought some food from Korea too.

Korean Traditional Walnut Cake

Chocolates!

Hola, I'm back! :D
Miss my post? :) haha
So, i mentioned in my blog post before that i'm going to somewhere for holiday right?
Well, I went to Seoul, Korea!! :D
It was only a 4days and 2 nights from 10th - 13th September.
My flight is at 1150pm( 10th september, i know so alang2 right?), i reached Incheon International Airport at 430am i think(5.30am in Korea. For your information, Korea is one hour ahead from Malaysia.

So from Kota Kinabalu to Incheon took around 4hours and 45minutes..

I can see that the airport was embellished with LCD screens almost everywhere, i think that is why Incheon Airport was ranked amongst the top 3 airports in the world. So after we get our luggage, we met our tour guide, Annie Sin..or something like that her name. She's a korean,she speaks Korean, a little bit of Malay Indon, Chinese and Thai and of cause English. I like her :)
But no offense, frankly speaking, korean english is abit funny~haha i took a lot of video there so i will upload here if i have the time. ;D

So here's the schedule for Day 1 in Korea.
Breakfast
Yeoju Premium Outlets
Everland- Lunch at Alphine Food Fair, Everland
Dinner (Near Everland)
Koreana Hotel

Meal on Board (Eastar Jet)

Orange Mandarin pudding...very sour!

Breakfast
I'm not sure what is the name of this place actually. Plus, I don't see any english signboard here by the way. For breakfast, we are having Hot-Udong (japanese noodles alike). Hot-Udon is served with spring onions, crab stick,and something else which im not sure what it is. Basically its just a simple hot noodles with no meat and tasteless. It doesn't taste good for me.haha :D

Yeoju Premium Outlets

After breakfast, we went to Yeoju Premium Outlets which is quite far from the breakfast place. Yeoju Premium Outlets is a designer outlets. This is the place where you can found popular branded luxury from all over the world including Coach, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Gucci, Nike, Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana, Armani and the list goes on. They will give you a discount card whenever you enter their shop and the card only can be use in 1day.

Everland Resort

After that, we went to Everland Resort. Damn, the weather is so cold!
Korea has four seasons so the weather is keep on changing. It's still raining and it kinda spoil my mood to have fun there. Everland is one of the major theme park in the world. In Everland, there are five different theme areas which includes Carribean bay ( Water park),Home Bridge, Glen Ross Golf Club and Hoam Art Museum and Transportation Museum.
The theme park opens 365 days a year and it provides various entertainment and fun for all ages! :D You need to buy the ticket before you can go inside okay? After we took group photos, our tour guide take us to lunch at Alphine Food Fair. Everland is so big, and you might get lost there...haha FYI, the whole Everland Resort is belongs to Samsung Company! wahhhh~ Did you know that Samsung is the largest corporation in S.Korea? Hyundai is not the biggest company anymore in South Korea since the death of the Big Bos...or something like that.

Everland : Alphine Food Fair ( Lunch Time)
We have to use the ticket to buy the food. They only give us 3 menu to choose which is Pork and Chicken Cutlet, Seafood Fried Rice and Korean Noodles with Fish. For side dish, you can take the Kimchi as many as you like. Oh free flow of water too! But the water tasted weird,macam air sungai ni.haha :D

My mum's meal : Seafood Fried rice. it taste pretty good too!

Pork and Chicken Cutlet with Tar Tar Sauce! yummy!my choice;D

My dad's meal: Korean Noodles with Fish...haha no thank you, i already tried the Hot-Udong this morning..

Everland : Safari World

After lunch, our tour guide brought us to the Safari World! Thank god we don't have to walk there! We sat in enclosed bus and see rare animals such as Liger, Bears ( Trained Korean Bears), Ziraffes, Zebra, White Tigers and so on. The bears are so cute! They were trained to perform simple tricks such as stand on two legs and they follow our bus to get their treats, they also show their teeth and tongue, and many others things too! These bears all trained in korean language~haha pretty cool huh? Check out the photos below ;D

this is Liger :D

After visiting Safari World, the tour guide give us some free time until 5.30pm to look around and take some pictures. We bought some candy from the candy shop that, im so menyesal that i didn't bought any stuffed toys there:( For your information, Everland resort is now celebrating the Halloween Festival! so you can see many Halloween decoration here everywhere including Spooky tree, Spooky zoo, Halloween Magic tree, Horror Village and Halloween Garden!

cute huh? ;D

Spooky tree!!

Strawberry smoothies! KRW 2500 = RM6.97

According to Annie, In everland they always changed the flower due to the season. This month they use the Chrysanthemum for exhibition. It still raining here and cold,im all wet and tired...i really want to go back hotel and take my bath!

I actually took alot of pictures there but im so lazy to edit and upload everything :P Just wait for my videos okay? We gather at 5.30pm near the entrance there, then we have to take the shuttle bus to go to the bus terminal. Its quite far actually so you cant walk from Everland to the Bus Terminal.
Around 6pm plus, we went to this restaurant for Dinner.

Dinner : Korean BBQ Restaurant.

Yaaay! Finally!! i've been wanting to try this in Korea!
Your trip to Korea would not be complete if you don't try out their food! Korea is considered paradise when it comes to food! The restaurant is quite near Everland resort,around 5 minutes from Everland i think. I don't know what's the name of this place anyway but one thing for sure, im so hungry~
Korean BBQ or Gogi gui is a style of korean to grilled pork, chicken or beef. In the restaurant, they only served us Pork and Chicken! haha my favourite. Overall the food was super delicious! I love the sauce, it makes the meat taste even more delicious! Food rating would be 4/5 star!
