Dates with Love in Korea- Day 12

31 May 2014-

We watched "Naked Ambition" on the TV by connecting it to the computer in the room. The movie was on youtube and was shared on FB at that time. Must make use of the computer before we leave haha. Although we slept late, we woke up for the hotel breakfast because I insisted. It's already the last day in Korea. Times flies. After breakfast, we went back to pack. While I laid on his lap, I fell asleep. He related to me how his leg cramped and how cold he was with the air-con blowing at him, no blanket because I was using it lol. But he did'nt wake me up because he did not want to disturb my sleep. heheee.

Dates with Love in Korea- Day 11

30 May 2014-

This was the last full day we had to spend in Korea. Our initial plan was to go to Gangchon Railpark, a place where an episode of running man was taken. It's like a park in which people can cycle their rail bikes along the rails and enjoy the scenery at the same time. Quite a romantic place to go. Actually our plan was to go there in the first few days of arriving in Seoul ;(, but we changed it. We did'nt go in the end because of my walking disability and the long distance to our destination. In fact, I probably can't cycle. I was kind of sad because that's like the first place of interest I wrote down in our itinerary. I will come back for you later!

So now we have one day to spare on something else. Bf suggested that we go back to Dragonhill spa instead. It might have therapeutic effect for my feet injury. In fact, my chinese doctor did advice me to soak my feet in hot water regularly to loosen the nerves. And we don't have to walk much in the spa area, just relax and chill.

My feet injury aggravated. Yes, both feet :(. I can still walk slowly, not bending the swollen part above the heel. Well, at least it's after Everland. We had planned for Gyeongbokgung Palace and Coex Mall today, so it seemed manageable.

Before everything, we had lunch at our favourite eating place nearby. Let me introduce you to the "ugly but tasty kimbap". It is just rice with bits of minced beef and salt wrapped in slices of seaweed. It was tasty indeed but not as good as pork cutlet kimbap. Yummy! I had the feel for kimchi fried rice and it tasted great. Bibimbap was less enjoyable as it was too wet.

Dates with Love in Korea- Day 9

Bf and his friends (including the friend that we bumped into in Hongdae) arranged for a trip to Everland together. Thankfully the weather was awesome that day. If only I was also in a tip top condition. You see, my feet swelled even more, and going down the stairs began to be a problem. Every step I took was also tiring for my feet. ;(

We were supposed to meet at 9am. So bf and I had breakfast sharp at 8am. Because we were early, their stir-fried food was'nt ready, so they offered us cup noodles haha. I had a very happy meal.

We woke up rather late today because of the late night buying at Lotte mart. Had lunch at the pancake place we always passed by only at about 2pm. They had no English menu but the lady who served us could speak Mandarin and she briefly told us what was available. I wanted to try the pancake but it comes in a pair at 14 000 won. Not recommended if you just want to eat them as a light snack as it's quite big. We ordered another bowl of noodle to share before we knew the size of our pancakes. Very 腻 if you eat too much.

We had breakfast in the hotel lobby today before going out. It was very simple, yet it gives a very cozy feeling.

Today, we went to Trickeye! It's at Hongik University station and the area should be called Hongdae. So we alighted at Hongik University and walked quite a distance to Trickeye [bf led the way, I was lost]. You can get a map from the tourist information counter nearby. Before that, I did some shopping and tried this egg cake. It's an egg on top of a nice butter cake? Tasted pretty good.

It's Dragonhill spa time!

But first, we had lunch at a restaurant nearby. They provided us an English menu! Actually I don't know what are the names of the places we ate at but generally any food in Korea is quite tasty.

Ugly but tasty gimbap? Yigebuya?

It's time for Seoul! 

We had breakfast at a restaurant nearby. A few flies were visiting the store too. But nobody seems to be bothered. Maybe it's the norm.
