Hello Korea!

First meal in Seoul! - Porridge
No, we're not porridge people but it was snowing and it's one of Korea's popular dishes!

Daddy & I appreciating how gorgeous the snow was!
(No guys, I don't have dandruff)

Definitely spent most of our time at Myeongdong street cause we stayed  a street away and every popular restaurant was there!

Korea is popular for their fashion styles so yes, shopping was fun but no they were not cheap. It's a popular belief that Koreans love doing plastic surgery but I have no clue if it's true. Most girls here use make up but that's not just Korea, who are you kidding.

This was one of the korean BBQs we had! It was so warm!

Name: Wangbijib Myeongdong Korean BBQ

Adress: 63-6 Chungmuro-2ga, Jung-gu | 2F, Seoul, South Korea

We had so much of these banana milk!!

I mean, how can you go to Seoul and NOT HAVE SULBING?

That's my momma 

And then there's my QT lil baby sister being all strong

HOT chocolate were the best drinks in the winter 

These cute little backdoor streets at Bukchon Hanok Village.

Korean BBQ!

Name : James Cheese Back Ribs
Address : 11 Myeongdong 10-gil, Myeongdong 2(i)-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Chickenn!

Honestly, this Korea trip was mostly about food, shopping, sceneries and MORE FOOD! It was really relaxing and exciting, bringing my family around on the subways!

Their popular meals are bibimbap, korean BBQ, CHICKENN (in every cooking style! No, I'm not kidding when I say it's true that the Koreans love dem chickenn), korean pancakes, cold noodles, pork ribs and all the sweet treats by the streets! During winter, the strawberries were very popular and in season so they were all really huge, sweet AND CHEAP! 

Omg, looking at all these photos is making me hungry!

Korean pancakes, bibimbap & hot pot of soup in the winter has got to be the best!

The view at Nami Island was WOW

To get to Nami Island from Seoul you'd have to take a few trains to get to Gapyeong station then take a bus/taxi to Gapyeong Wharf. (Ps just google the route, wifi is everywhere in Korea!) Taking the cab is worth it if you have more than 2 people! Nope, it's not near the city, but if you're a scenery person like me, you'd love it & the ride there would be worth it! Personally, I loved Nami Island although my toes, fingers and face were practically frozen! The place felt so serene! Oh, it was where they filmed this popular Korean movie, Winter Sonata, so there are many statues there.

The iconic flower lights at Dongdaemun Design Plaza!

 

OSulloc! Super good green tea treats right in the heart of Seoul!
Address : 12 Myeongdong 7-gil, Myeongdong 1(il)-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea

So my family and I stayed a street away from Myeongdong street, facing Tour Les Jours bakery!

Fun fact: Did you know, Tour Les Jours is a Korean bakery and not French?!

Anyways, we stayed a literally a few steps away from the Myeongdong station so we technically travelled mostly by subway! However, on our second last day, we realised that since we had four people, taking a taxi was wayyyy more worth it! Myeongdong was where we did most of our shopping cause everything was there, as in ALL the brands were there haha! As a lady travelling to Korea, you'd definitely buy all the masks and make up you lay your eyes on! Trust me, all the brands are along Myeongdong street and there're all around the corner, AND there're more than one outlet along the same street!
