day 34: 마지막날

LAST DAY IN KOREA! T__T

my flight is at 11.30pm so i have the entire day free for any last minute shopping!

went to Insadong for Miss Lee Cafe because i wanted to bring Candice there! So we ordered the traditional lunchbox thingy each and had patbingsu too :) gonna miss the patbingsu sooo much!







after that we braved through the rain and went to the Osulloc tea shop to get my tea! bought a few for mum and dad and also for Sean's. spent like almost 80,000 there o_o

took the subway and headed for edae to do some shopping (albeit the sky was raining cats and dogs) and to meet Gillian!

cos it was raining too heavily we sat inside Baskin Robbins to avoid the crazy weather.





thank god she's singaporean :( i can still see her. otherwise i'm gonna miss her soooo much! like i said hanging out with her , sue and anthea had been the days i laughed THE MOST in korea. thank you girls!




didn't really manage to eat dinner. after that we rushed home and i went to Vans to get my shoes and Sean's too. The shoes i chose all ran out of his size so it was really a hassle trying to pick out the nicer shoes :( Candice went to Artbox to get her singaporean friends presents too so i can pass to them on her behalf.

rushed back to our room, did my last minute packing and then went to the airport bus stop. My bus came and because the ahjusshi was kinda rude and in a hurry to i-dont-know where, my last hugs with Candice and Andrea were so rushed. Hardly got to say a real goodbye.

and then i bawled like a baby on the bus home.

met Yuting, Irene and Marli at the airport. had dinner at Macdonalds and that was it. ;_;



This trip to Korea had been really memorable. Best trip ever :) I got to know more friends in school, learnt amazing things from the locals here. tried their food, immersed in their culture. just so many many things that i experience daily, even the smallest thing like taking the subway, or buying food at the convenience store. I'm gonna remember everything i did here by reading this blog. and i'm glad i got a chance to write down what i did daily. 

Never getting tired of saying this, i'm gonna miss Seoul so much!

day 33: dog cafe and new boyfriends

2nd last day in Korea T___T

went to the dog cafe for the second time in this trip! because i wanted to go there with Candice so i didn't mind spending another afternoon there. i love the dogs there anyway!


when we reached hongdae it was raining. shopped around the vicinity for a while and headed towards Bau House's direction. i only briefly remember where it was in relation to the shopping area but then i couldn't remember how to get there. On our way there we stopped by at Snow Spoon and had froyo!




hello kitty cafe at hongdae. i've only been to the one at Hyehwa :( (there is one each at hongdae, sinchon and hyehwa)



this is my cup lol so unappealing. i just added in as much stuff as i can T_T it's being weighed in this picture so that they can calculate the price.




the toppings corner!



payment!





everyone told me this pair of glasses suit me hehehe i like it a lot too!






Snow Spoon is actually not just a froyo shop, it's also a cafe that serves food like pasta! the kichen is located at the 2nd floor.







please visit it when you go to korea! the ambience inside the cafe is great :) i cant really give a proper direction but i believe if you search online at naver for snow spoon hongdae they should provide you with a direction. but anyway usually i exit hongdae station by exit number 9, i walk through the area with several shops then cross the road (when you cross the road, on the opposite side of the road you should see dunkin donuts) then continue walking through the long stretch with many many shops selling apparels and accessories and you will eventually get there. it's on the left side! i hope this is helpful.












BAHAHAHAH



MY FAVORITE BEAGLE. i came back for you!



 호박집 (pumpkin house)

after that we met BUSHIBA! Sue and Anthea at Mister Donuts and we had dinner nearby and went to Luxury noraebang at Hongdae!



you can see the people outside and soooo can they see you dancing :3




climb up that ladder and you can get to the "2nd" level!



Candice singing her hearts out lol.


BUSHIBA! Sue and Anthea~


kekeke 2nd last day in korea. a little sad :( i know the feeling will get worse when i'm alone on the bus to the airport. and when i'm finally home and not seeing korean shops, listening to korean songs on the streets, eating korean food, and seeing my friends i made in korea. bahh.
