♥ My Family's Trip to Korea - Day 5 - 7 ♥

DAY 5 - 28 Dec

YONGPYONG DRAGON VALLEY - SEOUL - LOTTEWORLD ADVENTURE PARK

After breakfast, we made our way to Ginseng Monopoly showroom to purchase what is hailed as the world’s best ancient tonic elixir and stamina builder – Korean Ginseng but we didnt buy lolx cox the minimum to purchase is a 1 year supply & i doubt we have the determination to even complete 3mths =p

Next was the Amethyst factory where you can find locally produced purple gemstone & then we went to Nature Republic where we were given a ''skin care course'' and to purchase some of the Nature Republic cosmetic products. We bought sooooo much till Nature Republic gave us a luggage bag to store them lolx^^It's sooooo much cheaper then Singapore seh like more then 1/2 price & they're selling stuffs that ain't even available in Singapore yet sooooo lolx =p

The last highlight for today will be LotteWorld Adventure Park (Big 5), I experienced my most thrilling & scariest ride in my life from it's outdoor theme park lolx... Scream halfway & my voice just STUCK for no idea why -.-'''

Since it's a shopping day & we were trying out the super THRILLING rides, not much pictures were taken =)
Hotel of the night was ''Marriott Courtyard'' - the hotel with transparent toilet -.-'''

After breakfast, we went to Korean Traditional Centre where we made Kimchi and took photos dressed in the Korean Traditional Costume - Hanbok.

The last highlight for today will be Dongdaemun Market for shopping! It’s Asia’s largest shopping district and has recently become the largest apparel shopping area for Koreans & we continue to shop at Myongdong and Namdaemun, which is one of the most fashionable shopping streets. This is where i chiong lotsa Faceshop stuffs for my besties & myself lolx no luggage bag but spent ALOT -_-''' Their cosmetics really much much cheaper & worth it la... Eg is my most frequently used ''Skinfood eye-brow pencil'' cost $11 is Singapore & only $2.90 there soooooo i bought 10 lolx enough to last me 1year =p & Etude House's eyeshadow that cost $5 lolx I'm soooo going back to Korea soon =)

SEOUL - INCHEON - SINGAPORE

Final day, we continued shopping at Sinchon Fashion Alley, nicknamed as “Korea’s Ladies Street”, home to three universities, Ewha, Sogang and Yonsei. This area is jam-packed with cafes, eateries, bars, nightclubs, movie theatres, beauty salons and boutiques selling apparel and fashion accessories & since there is time for some last minute shopping we continued to chiong the Korean foodstuffs like seaweed & ginseng sweets etc for souveirs before we bid farewell to the city of Seoul and transfer to the airport for our flight home..
