I know I’m a bit late to post this blog since I traveled last January 2017 but well I’m bored and don’t have work so let’s be productive in here :D
Our flight got delayed for 1 hour. What do you expect? It’s
Cebu Pacific Airline that’s not new for them but who cares? If I can travel to
South Korea I will wait patiently, and I have time to check some tourist spots
in Seoul (Well, I didn't apply this one hahaha).
Upon arrival to Seoul, we were mesmerized with the people,
climate and surroundings. This is one in my bucket list, I almost cry that
time. All my hard work paid off. I never imagine coming here, that my visa got
approved. I’m one of those lucky first timers.
Let’s Wander South Korea

SECOND DAY
We woke up around 7am and gone to the station at 9am, it's snowing that time and we didn't expect the cold. IT'S FREAKING FREEZING!! So wear warm clothes as much as possible (Again! We didn't apply this one to ourselves)
Lotte World
We purchased this one day pass, you can avail discount if you booked korean flight (like jeju air,etc). The place was amazing! There are many rides to choose from. We tried this 4D ride, ship and roller coaster. Expect long wait for the rides, it will consume your time most probably 15-30mins.
DANCE PARADE
ENTERTAINMENT
Unfortunately, only 3 rides we tried because too much people that time and consumed our time in waiting for our turn especially the atlantis.

THIRD DAY
We just roam around Myeongdong Area. Eating and shopping.
We were just walking going to N Seoul Tower, don't worry walking in Seoul is safe and everyone is friendly. Guess what, we found this Anime/Cartoon Street.
 |
| Nagkatuloyan kaya yung mga nag-love lock dito? Hmmm |
If you bought love lock in N Seoul Tower there's 3 keys in there. As for me I throw the 1st key and I gave it to my lover the 2nd key and I have the last one. Well, if it didn't work at least I didn't mention his name in my love lock :')
 |
| I don't want to expect something from this love lock so I just wrote like that. No hard feeling ☺️ |
We purchased the combo for Observatory Deck + Hello Kitty, or you can choose Observatory Deck + Anime and there's a free jasmine tea. My sister wanted to see Hello Kitty so I have no choice.

There's a photo booth in the Observatory and you can wear this Korean queen and princess outfit. They will edit your photo either you are in a palace or in N Seoul Tower.

COEX Aquarium
My first time to see an aquarium ❤❤❤ There are lots of species in here like sharks, penguins, piranha and many more. I like this funny looking pirarucu.

The allies of Ursula won because King and his people became like this ☹️☹️
Dog Cafe
My eldest sister and cousin don't like dogs I just force them because I really want to pet this cute little pug, I like pugs a lot. They're adorable ♥♥
FIFTH DAY
We booked this tour thru Klook. Our tour guide is such a friendly guy and so cute hahaha but he's married :(
It's freezing here especially in Nami Island, as far as I remember the temperature that time was -14°C so wear warm clothes if you'll be coming here on winter.
Petite France
Nami Island
Ice carving
Rail Park
You can see the solemn place in Korea, the sea view and the trees. The railway was farther than we've thought most probably 30mins or more ride. Exhausting but nice experience.
LAST DAY ☹️
We just wander in Myeongdong area, eating, selfies, shopping and many more. Myeongdong Church was very near in our hostel and just now we discovered hahaha that's the benefit of walking and just wandering around.
Enjoy your vacation everyone. See you again Korea!
