Korea Pt.1

It took me real motivation to be sitting in front of the computer and blog again. Yes as usual with my 3 minutes heat I've abandoned my little bloggie for like, 4 months? (sad but true) And so since i have some time with me i have decided to blog about my trip in Korea. Unlike last time, i would not post day by day but just how much as i wish, which will be better or else i'm gonna stop half like the Japan trip LOLOL.

In fact, my trip was like a month ago. So... yeah! From 9th February to 20th February! Honestly, it may looks like 11 days is a lot but actually its not at all! I would want to go back anytime in the future. *finger crossed*

The weather when i was there were pretty cold. Most of the time is around 5 to -4. I've not experienced such cold weather before other than Genting SnowWorld LOLOL wtf. So i did not prepare myself enough for the cold weather and only wear a singlet, checkers and varsity jacket which kills the hell out of me once i stepped out of the airport. I could not feel my ears at all! I need to quickly wear my windbreaker as well beanie to keep myself warm.

This us after we saved our life from the cold! We weren't dressed like that before we came in. We literally open our luggage and get all the thick ones out.


 Our first 4 days were in Hong Dae which i really like that place. Full with shopping streets and night life and of course youngsters! Mainly i think its because a famous Art Major University is there, the Hongik University of Arts.


The Main Gate of Hongik University.

What's ironic is that this in fact the smallest University in Seoul, i was like what?! This is huge ass big and still its the smallest University in Seoul. So INTI is like a pea compare to the Universities there!

Just right beside the University, there's a small road that leads to our guest house. What i love about it is because the guesthouse looks like a house that gives you a home feeling, Unlike some hotels that freaks you out.



A brief look at the guesthouse :) 

We stayed at WowHills GuestHouse. Its so sad when the owner told us that the day before we came there's a huge snow fallen. During my stay there, i only witnessed once small snow :( unlucky

As its only like 10 something when we reach, we've decided to walk around HongDae. The sky looks so different compare to Malaysia, its like 11 something but it looked like 6 something there.





We also went to TWOSOME+ STUDIO for some coffee. Its a really nice coffee shop and its open for 24 hours! I really hope KL too have some coffee shops like that. But the name of the shop does sound a little wrong i;m sorry






Trying to have some feel there
and some vain selfies too!

After some coffee we walked around the and saw the Hello Kitty Cafe, but we did not visit because i don't like Hello Kitty haha.


And We've decided to have our dinner here! Sorry for all my ugly photos because i did not brought my DSLR with me.

 The food was so so and also because we're very full (from coffee i guessed) We did not finish all of it. But the french fries were addicting tho.






While the girls went to STYLENANDA, Mango and I decided to step in a coffee shop to wait for them.
Its the URBANBLACK! They have real good coffee! Or i should say Koreans make good coffees because all of their coffees are really great! Just like how Hokkaido produces great ice-cream in every corner.







Bascially its the end of our Day 1. Honestly there's nothing much i can introduce and talked about because this trip made me feel like i'm not having a vacation but like any regular day in Kuala Lumpur. IDK why but it feels like i stayed there for a long time :P

 More to come and stay tuned!
