Korea Day 3 : Namdaemun - Coex - Bogeunsa Temple - Gangnam

Being tired after all day Lotte world and night shopping at Dongdaemun, the next day we decided to explore Korea's shopping district.

In the morning we went to take a look at Namdaemun market which located near our hotel, got some Korean snack for breakfast and then we took the subway to Coex, the underground mall.

To be honest there is nothing at Coex, it is just an old big underground mall with big aquariums and cinema which we did not go. I would totally regret going there if there was no Bogeunsa Temple nearby.

Bogeunsa temple is the largest temple in Seoul, a 5 min walk from Coex Mall. It was kinda interesting to see the differences in architecture between Korean and Japanese temples :D

later, we stopped by Gangnam which is introduced by PSY to the whole world to meet my Korean friends.

Korea Day 1: Shopping at Myeongdong

During my trip in Korea last August, I stayed in a hotel between Namdaemun market and Myeongdong.

As we were lacking of sleep and energy,  we just spent the day slowly by shopping and eating at nearby Myeongdong.

Seoul station somehow reminds me of China

Breakfast at Paris Baguette inside the station

We just went into a random Korean BBQ restaurant for our early dinner :D

Ordered so much and I ended up having stomachache lol

The samgyopsal was disappointing but loved the kalbi!

It was nice how there are lots of people, mostly the shop assistance can understand Japanese or Chinese :)

We went crazy on Korean cosmetics shopping afterwards :) 

What I love the most about it is the amount of sample I received! and also the tax refund policy. Plus they are so much cheaper in Korea than abroad.

I think I bought enough face masks for a year or more lol
