Seoul Fun Day #2 @ Seongsu


view from our living room; the noisiest area every morning & every night... heee


this cutie pie approached us with tiny jumps and kisses while we were waiting for our cab... super duper friendly and its fur was so soft!!! oh, 狗爸爸 was a tall, cute, gentle, korean eye candy too... 😍😍😍



spotted yarn bombing on the trees outside Olive Young Seongsu




this salted bread is a MUST BUY, MUST EAT!!!



breakfast @ Onion, a metal factory turned cafe with industrial stripped down interior that looks chic & run down at the same time with its uneven cement floors & brick walls, rusted gates, cracked tiles and 'graffiti-scratched' walls ... 😂😂😂










fruit mochi > cute packaging but i think the daifuku in japan is yummier... 






another 4 levels of shopping heaven!!!

i luv my attire for the day!!! 

matchy matchy with this poster on display... heee

 

CUTE!!!


child-like naivety stickers... i like cos it means my kiddos can make them too.... heee... 


chanced upon this DIY station and had a great time stamping and decorating with the washi tapes!!! 

i did!!! 



Just as i was digging through my wallet for cash, Claire whipped out a 10k note and bought these lucky four-leaf clovers for the nies ladies, mab included!!! 
Turned out such clover carts are a massive hit due to k-drama "Queen of Tears" episode 6!... 






they busy shopping


i busy selfie-ing and Cyn wanted one too... 😂



Kodak > our must go place cos Mab gave us a shopping list!!! 
mab is a proud owner to 10 kodak x Hirono collaboration t-shirts + 2 pair of socks



i was chop chop done with getting what Mab wanted and continued with my pic taking while they shop shop shop






3 of us wefie-ing while Michelle shop & shop & shop... 

Claire & KY found the legendary Somunnan Gamjatang restaurant whose staff decided what and how much we should have for lunch > 2 medium pot of pork bone soup it should be!!! 


caught on CCTV @ Olive Young... heee

Seoul Fun Day #1

the plan began as our nies ladies 20th anniversary celebration but our poor mab was hospitalised and placed on a month's medical leave one week before the trip... 

to Mab, we are so sad you couldnt fly with us... 😭😭😭


yet at the same time, we were very happy to meet up with Cyn & KY who flew by jeju air an hr before us!!!... our trip evolved into Season 2 of "Where 6 chers Went", after our knockout success to Hong Kong in 2024... 😍😍😍


Thanks Mich for doing a GREAT job with our seat booking on Korean Air... very happy with the extra space between us... heee 


touched down in Seoul @ 9.15am!!! 

4 of us at this terminal, 2 of them at that terminal, 6 of us in the transport to our apartment!!!... was surprised that the vehicle at Mich booked at less than S$80 could accommodate 6 pax + 6 large luggage!!! 👍👍👍

reached UH Suite Gangnam about an hour plus later... couldnt check in yet but managed to freshen up in the recep toilet... 

yummy lunch & dessert nearby

 

mega luv my lavender ice cream blueberry latte!!! heavenly happiness!!!


then to Myeongdong Lotte Department Store to collect this exclusively for tourists T-money transit card... 😍😍😍

so pretty, it's gonna up my fridge with all the other travel magnets... 😍😍😍


passed by a bao bao pop-up store.... the newly launched mint green totebag is very pretty!!! cannot take pic of the actual size bao bao so took pics of the miniatures on display instead... heee

such a pity the Bao Bao tote isn't made to hold a laptop for daily commuting & it's $100+ more expensive than what we saw in Tokyo... 



the start of our SHOP SHOP & SHOP, first @ ewha... 

everyone bought something from this shop... am very happy with this set of pullover and skirt @ 12000₩ each ...good buy!!! 





bought a pack of collagen snack for my 小老太婆 who stayed home under Auntie Mavis' care during these 5 days... 



topping up our pretty t-money transit card to take the train back to myeongdong



i like this logo



walked through Myeongdong street food aisle, took wefie to show the right and the left of the street... was hungry, everything looked delicious > whatever i saw, i also wanna eat but no eat cos we were heading for dinner ... 😅😅😅






the first of many many skin care stores & pharmacies that we invaded!!! we spent 2.5 hours in this one on our first night!!!😅😅😅


all that i bought for myself (top) and for gifting (bottom)... 大家都觉得我买少了, 但懒惰的我知道买多了... 😅😅😅



interesting photobooth!!!... free for all!!! 


checked into our apartment @ UH Suite, Gangnam at 9+pm!!!... 

so tired so tired so tired!!! pick & choose my bed buddy then first to wash up and first to knock out!!! 😴😴😴
