Today is actually last day in Korea and I woke up late. At
first I thought I will go to SM building and Naranji Market (Fish Market) since I woke up at 9 am so plan had
to change. I decided to go to Bukchon Village first, because last time I just
walked by but this time I had an hour to walk around this hectically village.
Bukchon Village is very big and people actually live here, there also have many
restaurant here but what I found really cool is Churros, this shop was crowded.
Then I walked to Gwanghwamun Square. It
is a must for me. Last time that I went to Gyeongbukgung Palace, I can see this
square and I thought that I will walk back later but then I ran out of time so
I came here again. One of the most famous statue at Gwanghwamun Square is a
statue of King Sejong the Great. He is the Creator of Hangeul, Korea's
alphabet.
Then I went to Ihwa Mural Village. It is very far away from Gwanghwamun
Square. It took about 50 minutes. A reason why I need to go there is because I
watched running man, Korean variety show, and this place seems very
interesting. When I arrived at Ihwa station. I have to walk up on the mountain
well the village is located on the mountain. No car or bus so I need to rely on
my legs. There are many museums and art galleries such as Marronnier Park, Arko
Art Center and The Lock Museum. It was about 4.30 pm when we arrived there so
there was not many tourists.
I decided to have dinner at Gangnam. What surprised me is
the price is cheaper than Daewha. Ok that’s really good. Not only nice price
but also good quality of food that makes me want to go to Gangnam again. I
walked around this area for an hour and it is true that Gangnam is a rich area.
It full of good food, good restaurants, shopping malls, companies and also
people. Many people waited buses outside! What I heard about Gangman is Gangnam
subway station is where you can find cheap clothes. This is absolutely true and
I strongly recommend especially women to go here. It is like our heaven.
Everything that a girl want is here! J
After shopping at Gangnam subway for a while, I had an
appointment with Mark at Hongdae. We will have Korean BBQ there wooooo I love
BBQ. Mark said that he actually had this BBQ party for CoachSurfing in Seoul
every Thursday night! I’m so happy to be a part of this party. I made so many
new friend, we talked and shared our experiences and this is what I called
fantastic night baby J
Day 7, 15 Jan 2016
Time: 07.00 a.m. – 05.20 p.m. (Local time)
Route: Daehwa station à
Incheon International Airport, Korea à
Don Mueang International Airport
Last day comes so fast and I don’t want to go back. I woke
up at 7 am and my flight depart at 11.30 am. Mark drive me to Daehwa Station
and I waited for the bus to Incheon Airport directly. Mark is amazing and I
cannot believe that from the first day to the last day, he always helps me and
support me and I want to say this word again and again. Thank you Mark J I finally found Thai people woo. At first I thought I may find many
of them in Seoul but I didn’t. Maybe it was because I didn’t went to the place
that tour group tend to be or I went there different time. I thought it was so
great. Sorry to say that but sometimes well actually most of time, it is better
to travel in the country that no one knows you so that you can be the real you,
express your feelings freely. That’s why. Unfortunately my flight was
postponed. So I had stay at the airport one more hour. I didn’t understand why it
took more time in traveling back. I was struck in a plane 6 hours. Seriously!
But when I came here it took only 4 and half hours. L And
that is why I arrived Bangkok late.
All in all, I want to say that Korea is amazing. I love
there and I swear I will go there again for sure but next time it will be 2
weeks.
Enjoy blogging
