29 April: SINGAPORE - (transit Taiwan) - SEOULTook the AREX train to Seoul Station, missed the last train.
Had BBQ dinner!
Checked into The Summit Hotel.
Hotel's nearest station: Dongdaemun History & Culture Park
30 April: Myeongdong - Dongdaemun - Some ulu place
Took the train to Myeongdong.
Had Issac Toast for breakfast. Walked around for a bit and went to the Myeongdong shopping area and did a lot of buying. Had lunch at Myeongdong Kyoja (명동교자) - the 4 dish menu restaurant.
Went to Dongdaemun for more shopping after dropping things off at the hotel.
Evening came and we took a cab to somewhere. Couldn't find the fried chicken GC wanted to bring us. Ended up eating a blueberry bagel and some store's fried chicken (which was pretty amazing).

Went back to Dongdaemun area for more shopping at Migliore and the Open (yellow) Tent Night Market.
1 May: Gangnam - Sinsa - Clubbing @ Hongdae
Went to Gangnam area. Found my Innisfree super chio casing thingy for the cushion that Theng sent. But sadly they wouldn't fit the old model's cartridge. Couldn't bring myself to buy it. (So proud of myself for not being a sucker for packaging)
Walked around but most of the stuff weren't very interesting. Landed in a random restaurant and had lunch there.
Shopped at Gangnam underground.
Trained down to Sinsa, and stopped by CoffeeSmith for coffee and some ice-cream toast thing. Awezome.
Went shopping. Again. And then stopped by Gingko Avenue for Green Tea waffles, while GC had a cup of hand dripped coffee.
Went back to the hotel after to put on make up and prepared to paaaartyeh.
Visited NB2 @ Hongdae area.
Kind of a shitty night but let's forget about it.
2 May: Myeongdong - Lotte Mart - Hotel - Myeongdong
Had breakfast at this something brown cafe (will ask GC after)
Headed to Lotte Mart after for GC to get more snacks to bring home.
Pigged our way back to the hotel to offload the stuff. Also did masks!
Met GC's friends at Myeongdong area for dinner!
Walked around a little to digest, followed by fried chicken and beer for supper.

Oh, that appetite.
3 May: Dongdaemun - Lotte World - Dinner @
Sipped coffee at this cafe (Deohaebom) near the lunch place while it was raining outside.
GC ordered a Sweet Potato Latte or something which smelled legit. Taste was pretty decent too. Not a fan of coffee nor sweet potato here.
Lunch only opened at 1130am.
Had lunch at a really nice plain Ginseng Chicken soup place.
Then we trained down to Lotte World. It was still drizzling and rides were closed. Ended up with only catching 3 rides. LOL. Okay, 4, including the last one. But the last was a 7D interaction game or something.
We then took a train down to (can't remember the station) to have dinner.
Walk a distance before reaching dinner place. Ordered my first Bibimbap. Which I couldn't really appreciate. Finished only half of it.

4 May: Shifted Hotel - GyeongBokGung - Bukchon Hanok Village - Raccoon Cafe @ Hyehwa
Wee hours, woke up to send GC to get a cab. In sleeping attire - long sleeved cotton top and shorts. And slippers. I was freezing to death while waiting with him for a cab. I felt my teeth gritting each other in less than 30 seconds while being out.
Woke up, checked out of The Summit, and cabbed down Aropa. The cab driver dropped us somewhere further down so we had to work our way around to find the Aropa. And it wasn't that difficult to find #genius.
Was super amazed with Aropa because #1, we got the 1 room lot. So that made our room a lot bigger cause we had a huuuuuge space outside the toilet area. Talk about lucky! Woohooo.
