Korea :day 2

the second day in seoul...so excited to explore the city.
but i was so lazy to shower coz the water heater broke...OMG...can u imagine showering with ice cold water? ok kalu takleh imagine..sila ke dapur, amik ais sekampit (saiz jual kat 7E) then masuk dalam sebaldi air.pastu try mandi..pe rasa???
but , based on experience of showering with hot water..it made my skin very dry.not going to make the same mistake twice.although my frens did boil some water..i just used a little bit.tried to shower with the cold water coz i don't want my face to be scaly and chappy.my pictures wont be nice HAHAHA. since we'll be out the whole day..mandi la jugak.
i just followed the group today. i don't even konw where we were headed.then they said we were going to Namsan Tower...oh no!! i didn't bring my pad lock (already brought 1) yeah..a better reason to come again next time "_<
we took the subway to myeongdong. actually we were discussing at the subway near our GH (guesthouse) about how to ride the train. then came this ahjussi trying to explain to us..we were talking like chicken & duck..so just end up showing the map to him.

just right out of the exit..we found this.

YEAYY i was overjoyed coz i already told my frens i wanted to see this.

turned out the roads leading to Namsan Tower from the subway station was like a cartoon village. they have this cute murals along the way.so the hike was not that bad coz we stopped here & there for selfies & pictures. we even found a shop selling cheap strawberries & banana uyu.this time i bought 2 packs (1 pack has 4 bottles).yeah..told ya i was obsessed with that drink

 

how can u not buy this??

then we arrived at the cable car station.it was like 5 minutes up. if during summer and i was alone...i might have just use the stairs
we could see Seoul from bird's eye view...although it was a bit cloudy. climbing up...we saw all these pad locks on the fences. and there was this stall selling cotton candy in the shapes of bear and a few other things. we went higher and ate our food. the strawberry was so NICE and SWEET !! omg. and it was big. pejam mata sambil bayang betapa nikmatnye makan stoberi manis,masam sket2 je.

 

 

later we walked around Namsan Tower. we didn't go up the tower coz of the money. we went down on a furnicular from the cable car building. so glad we took that way coz we were able to see sakura-like flower...it looked like sakura but white

the only toll i see in Seoul...coz our main transportation here was the subway

from there we went to Korea War Museum. it was a place i said i wanted to go.so others just kinda agreed. unfortunately...it was closed because it was Monday. how stupid of me. i did write the place is closed on Monday..doink! so we just wondered outside. even the displays outside was so cool. just enjoy these pictures.after we finished wandering outside...we just hang out in front of the entrance and enjoyed the free wifi...hahaha typical asian.everywhere needs internet.

 stopped by DeliManjoo @Myeongdong station for mandu’ (mandu is Korean for dumpling). a custard filled cake that literally looks like a mini corn. nice

 

in the making

 

also bought this smash cookie..it's cookie coated with chocolate  (different flavours) and shaped into a ball. before u eat it, smash it with a wooden hammer. 

one of my aim here is to try as many street food/proper food of theirs as i can

then around 5 we went to Itaewon.planned to pray and have dinner there. the roads leading to the central mosque was hilly but still ok. along the way, there were many halal restaurants and shops selling halal ingredients. after praying, we wanted to eat at Eid but was again disappointed because the shop is close on Monday...so we end up eating at Hajj...still not a bad choice coz the ahjumma named Mariam was so friendly. she even insisted on adding us as her frens on facebook ngeh geh ngeh

 

sempat lagi menyinggah shopping on the way to the mosque.one of the best thing in korea is the skincare shops.it was EVERYWHERE !!!! but u need to compare the price . went into this shop because the salesgirl was distributing samples outside. she pulled our hands to go into the shop..seriously we were forced to go inside HAHAHA

.and it was not a bad choice too coz it was having 50% sale for selected items.

 

 

mariam preparing the food.she tried talking to us even though her vocabulary is limited

after dinner, we just went back to the GH.saving energy coz the next day we're going to Nami Island
