SEOUL 2017
Hey ! Assalamualaikum
to all. Have you ever been to this part of the world named Seoul, Korea? Well,
from my experiences travelling there, it was a big hit till now! Nowadays,
Seoul has been one of the most visited places out of all. Actually this year
will be my third time to go to Seoul, South Korea. Why? Well, this place has
its own charms. Let’s take a good look later. So I will share with you my
experiences in Seoul last year which was my second trip there. I would say the
trip was a short shopping trip for me and my sister. It was just a 4 days 3
nights leisure trip.
DAY 1(22092017)
Our flight from KLIA2 to Incheon Airport was at 1 am in the
morning by Air Asia. So we arrived at the airport around 4 hours earlier to
check in our stuffs and no rushing. We settled our prayers at the surau and
ready to fly! It took about 6 hours 30 minutes to reach Incheon. Around 8 am in
the morning, we arrived Incheon Airport. The temperature at that time was
around 18 degree Celsius. After that, we directly went to 7-11 at the airport
to buy T-money card with top up of 30000 won. Then, we went to find All Stop
Train to reach our guesthouse which was Kpop Guesthouse Seoul Station. It took
us around 60 minutes to reach Seoul Station with expense of 4150 won.
After resting for a while,we started our journey to
Sinchon area. Within this area,there are few attractions which are Ehwa Womens
University and also Idae which is a famous shopping street near the university.
After some light shopping and pictures,we went back to our guesthouse.On the
way back,we bought breads and the famous banana uyu(milk) as lunch.We spent
some time at the guesthouse before preparing ourselves ready to Myeongdong
Shopping Street!!!!!!
This is it!Myeongdong
Shopping Street!We had the opportunity to experience the hustle and bustle of
food street and cosmetic shops.There were lots of tourists from all over the
world,more than Korean itself.We bought our dinner from the food street.For
your information,there were lots of halal food there so for Muslims,it is a
good thing to come here.Shopping + food = happiness.Haha.
DAY 2(23092017)
It is Nami Island day!
Because the place is quite far,I emptied my itinerary for today just for Nami
Island activities.From Seoul to Nami Island,you can go to Yongsan Station,a KTX
Station directly to Gapyeong Station,which is the nearest KTX station to Nami
Island.From there,you can take taxi directly to Nami ferry ticket counter.You
will reach Nami Island by ferry.
From your reading,you can
feel it that the journey was long enough.But it was worth the journey!Oh by the
way,in Nami,there is one famous Winter Sonata restaurant,a small restaurant
with its famous lunchbox.So don’t forget to try yeah.Spend your time by
enjoying the nature in Nami Island.
In Nami Island,there is a
prayer room for Muslims so we settle our prayers before going back to
Seoul.From Nami,we went to Gyeongbokgung palace and Gwanghamun Square.Actually
that day,there was Jongno Hanbok Festival going on.So we experienced watching
people wearing hanbok and have a try-on hanbok too.We had a short interview as
an international tourists who enjoyed this festival too.I gussed,our faces were
on TV that day.Hahaha.Maybe.
DAY 3(24092017)
A new day!We always have
chamchi(tuna) triangled-kimbap and banana uyu(milk) with us for breakfast and
start our journey.So today we went to Namdaemun Market for shopping.
This market is famous for their brooches so we went
for brooch hunting.Hehe.Here also,I-love-Korea shirt,pants,sweatshirt are much
cheaper.So it is a must-go place yeah.We spent almost halfday at Namdaemun
Market.
Then,we had a rest at our
gusthouse,recharging our energies and settled our prayers.
After that,it was shopping
time again.Today will be the last day,last sprint for shopping before going
back to Malaysia.We went to Myeongdong Shopping Street again,had our dinner at
Yoogane Restaurant and shopping begins.We spent our night at the hectic
Myeongdong Shopping Street.
DAY 4(25092017)
Nothing much.We prepared our
luggage,ready to check out,and took our train from Seoul Station to Incheon
Airport.At the Airport,we visited some cosmetic shops and book shop while
waiting to check-in our flight.Don’t forget to redeem your taxes at the airport
for all the cosmetics that you bought.
Seoul is a city that I will
visit frequently because of its vibes,nature,hustle and bustle.All are amazing
to me.Hope my sharing will give some ideas to go there without tour guide.It is
more like a leisure shopping trip for me and my sister so your day will not
always packed with activities.Enjoy that moment before it became
memories.Bye,Assalamualaikum J
