When In Seoul part 4

Hi guys.

Yassss Part 4 now.

onto Day 4 of the Seoul Trip.  We went to Itaewon and Insadong.

First stop, Itaewon.

Not my picture. and this could be a wrong street too. I got it off Google.


I remember we started the day pretty late. Like we got to Itaewon almost midday. We jalan2 for awhile, exploring the area and tried shopping for sport shoes. I said try becoz I found the SHINee colored adidas but the shop didn't have my size. Like, ok sis.

And after a while, we decided to go look for food. I remember we stopped by a bakery too.

Ganya, no picture, guys. You gonna have to take my word for it.

After the bakery, we went to the restaurant not on my itinerary.

I think this is the same place. Hmm..I think it is the same place.

ada cat

but it's halal food, so teruskan ja. there were actually lots of halal restaurant in Itaewon and mostly indian or arabic cuisine. but I wanted Korean style, so that was why I insisted in going to the Hajj.

The tteobokki was awesome! not so padas.

The ahjumma, who didn't really look like an ahjumma was very chatty. She speak little English but she tried her best. I appreciate her effort to made us feel welcome.
She is also a Korean muslim.

I think we spent almost 2-3 hours there. I also think we just wanted to sit down LOL guys, our legs were like jelly at this point.

Of course we have to leave, got another place to visit.

but we stopped by a LINE Store which we accidentally come across. I mean,  I played LINE Play guys. I have to stop here.



For more pictures from LINE Store, check them out on my IG. 

I bought these two; Tri-Color Pen and a mouse pad.



We went to Insadong next and it was starting to get dark when we arrived.



this was where I bought most of my souvenir. ðŸ˜† I really like that authentic tourist souvenir shops.

Not my picture


We found this place also. Which I saw in picture during my initial research but thought I might not find it. but what do you know?











I didn't take picture of the exact shop but I bought my Little Prince picture from here.

coz it reminds me of Jonghyun and the story behind The Little Prince is also beautiful.


It was a really unique shopping place/area. It was nothing fancy but I still like the feel to it. Glad we came across it.

and that is the end of Day 4.

come back tomorrow for final Day in Seoul.

See you.

When in Seoul part 3

Hi guys,

as promised this post will be more vibrant.

Day 3. and I called it 'Wearing Hanbok Day'.

We went to two stops; Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village.

We rent our hanbok at a place called Best Hanbok. I already lupa berapa $$. but we rent until 5:30pm and it was still affordable.

at Gyeongbokgung Palace you can visit the area outside for free. To enter the palace ground, you must pay an entrance fee. but if you wear Hanbok, you can enter for free.





We took so many pictures OR my friend took many pictures of me. LOL of course I took picture of her too but towards the end she was too cold to bother. but we still had so many pictures!

Lemme share some:







ALL MY DONG YI FEELS CAME TRUE!



I realized that in most pictures we weren't photobombed much. I think it was becoz people don't really go far into the palace like we did. So, it was nice taking picture when you go further inside the palace area. Yes, the area was so big that we didn't realize we were there for four hours.

Thus, on to the next stop.

We took the subway to Bukchon Hanok Village.



Ok, if you've been following my blog since forever, you know the reason behind wanting to visit this area.
That's right, SuJu 's Attack On The Pin-Up Boys movie.


This place was actually an actual residential area so signs like below was put up.



and this place were more crowded than at the palace. So, photobomed a lot but that can't be helped.




I like the surrounding area. I really like the traditional design. basically, I'm just a suckers for traditional feels.

Enjoy some of these photos:


 I mean, oops. ðŸ¤­






After Bukchon, we went back to Gyeongbukgung to return our hanbok.

the under ground was design to fit the atmosphere too.




I love it!

When we finished, we went looking for late lunch and dinner, Halal Kitchen.
and on the way there pun so much things to take picture of. I guess I was that kind of tourist. 


 Klinik Gigi. I don't know why I find this so amusing. ðŸ˜†





this was the stairs to the restaurant. the restaurant is to the right after that first set of stairs.


I thought I took picture of the owner. rupanya inda. He looked like Siwon. and he is Korean Muslim. 

 A picture of the owner on the wall. I must be really tired to not even bother standing up or even zooming in for the picture. 

the view from our seat.

I took this food picture becoz he asked me too. His exact question was "Aren't you going to take picture?" LOL like, sir, aku kan enjoy my food saja ni. LOL

It was night time when we left his restaurant.

and we actually got lost. LOL and ended up going around the Gyeongbokgung Palace gates before we finally found a lift that would lead us to the underground subs. 





It's not an Az Nuur travel if she didn't get lost. LOL

but as always, tiring but worth it. 10/10

Yes, many pictures this time around. These photos are still on my phone.

. . .

Guys, I was right, I'm going to be doing 5 parts for this. I have two more post to go.

I see then.
