#SeoulSistahs

FINALLY visited one of my dream destinations: SOUTH KOREA!

Grabe! It was short and sweet. I was with my #SeoulSistah, my Ate!
So many things happened before this trip, thank God we arrived safely.

It was winter when we went - first week of January.
We don't have actually a full itinerary. It is a mixture of culture, FOOD and shopping haha!

I was blessed that my sister is always game and this was the time I decided to try something new: Vlogging.

I've been writing here about my personal life since 2003, do the math.
16 years and counting of blogging, now I leveled up with the video.
This is not only words and photos - this is a full video! HAHA!

It was a challenge, but I am thankful of myself for doing it.
I know my future self will be happy to reminisce, not only on photos and words - but also in videos.

Watch my Korea vlogs LOL! Feel free to like the videos and subscribe to my channel! :D Though I know there's not much people visiting here as I don't promote this website :)

Winter in Korea | Foodtrip in Korea | Shopping in Korea

Back to our trip, our first day was a (literally and figuratively) chill Hanbok + Myeongdong experience. We wore the Korean traditional Hanbok with our jackets outside haha!


Our favorite part was EATING authentic Korean cuisine! OMG. If I can have all the food (except the spicy ones), I will be extremely happy kiddo! HAHA

Then comes the shopping! Because my other sister Chu is an avid Korean skincare user, we always 'video call' her to know what she prefer and we will shop for her! It was really fun experience :) It felt like she was always with us the entire time.

Our second day was the highlight as we booked a whole day tour: Rail Bike + Nami Island + Petite France. Gosh, we were really tired by the end of the tour. Though that night, we went to Hongdae and got lost. Imagine our mood - tired feet and hungry! We ended up in Myeongdong.

Our third day was just going to Namsan Tower though we didn't fully utilize our time as it was raining. We also went to Namdaemun Market but there were less shops and people as the weather is not good. Though, happy to experience riding their trains, taxi, bus and cable car - all types of transportation.

As I told you, it was really short but fun! And I know this is not the last.
There were many requirements for the visa and it is worth to stay longer to maximize the visa.
Next time, I promise together with Japan! HAHA

Saranghae, Korea. It was a delight meeting you finally.
I hope to visit you soon with more time!
