After deciding that yesterday I would check out Lotte Department Store in Myeong-dong fashion district so I went down to the hotel lobby. Apparently they provided shuttle service to Myeong-dong which was perfect for me! I got down in the city ten minutes later and just let my Doc Martens clad feet take me anywhere they wanted to. With of course keeping Seoul's largest shopping hotspot in mind.
I was excited when I saw the store, finally. It was huge and there were just too many stuffs to see, like candy to my eyes if you know what I mean. I had to remind myself that Europe trip was coming up soon so buying any candy now would do more harm than good. Yes, I like torturing myself like that. Heh.
When candy is no good I always turned to healthy food. The premium market in the basement had quite nice selection. So I spent some time looking for dinner ingredients and looked like we were having salad tonight.
As much as I enjoyed large shopping mall, I found the streets across the road to be more interesting. Perhaps it was the environment and the people watching I could do out in the open. Hmm. I tried my hand on skincare products that Korean was supposedly famous for but I just could not hang to it. Just not my thing, I guess. All in all, Myeong-dong is a must goto if you come to Seoul.
Good morning from Seoul, South Korea! I am now looking out the window at the N Seoul Tower that can be seen on the tenth floor of our hotel room. Little fact: as it is located on the historic Mount Namsan hence the name N Seoul tower or simply Namsan Tower or Seoul Tower. We are put up at the Grand Hyatt Seoul for five days and four nights. As the trailing spouse naturally I just follow Abi as he is having a meeting here. Heh.
Truth be told I have not actually completed studying about this city. Frankly until this hour, that is 8am, an hour earlier than Singapore; I have no clue of what and where will I be doing and going today. Because we checked-in our hotel yesterday, my husband and I had the chance to go out for dinner. So that is how I know where the nearest station is. Interestingly, we are just one train station away from Itaewon which is the most mentioned place on the Internet for having halal food in Seoul. I thank god for that!
Since his meeting will take whole day, I will check out the city by myself. How about that huh? I wanna do this although I can choose to stay in the room or lounging at the hotel cafe all day. So allow me to do some Seoul searching and maybe will let me you know how it goes alright. Toodles.
