Ok, Last day of the trip.
Our flight was around 8pm and we still had the whole day to wander around.
Hmm..it was different from itinerary. Suppose to have some place to visit before flying back but the tour guide had packed all into 6 days and we were given choice to join additional tour by paying 20,000 won on day 7.
We got no choice but to join the tour as we had to check out hotel by 12 nn.
We went to shopping again.
Covered 2 area.
Sinchon
Located in Northwest Seoul, Sinchon is home to a number of private universities, earning the area its nickname ‘University Streets of Sinchon’. In particular, the street between Sinchon Station (Subway Line 2) and Edae (abbreviated for Ewha Women’s University) is a shopper’s paradise, offering a wide range of styles and prices. The collection of trendy stores, bars, and delicious cuisine draws out throngs of college students and other freethinkers year-round, making this one of the most creative and energetic places in the city.
Bought some Etude product, hmm..here, these cosmetic shops were served by China girl. They spoke Chinese so we did not had problem choosing our items. However, they gave us very wrong info on how to use the product. Hmm...when I asked them 2nd time on the usage, they would tell me different thing. Not much samples given also.
Bought Laneige product from "Aritaum". Did not see any Laniege shops but see this "Aritaum" selling the products. I was so happy cos Cendrine had asked me to buy some product for her. The product was also cheaper than Singapore. I bought the sleeping pack, yoghurt pack, and the salesgirl, China girl again, was so good, she gave us a lot of samples! She was so friendly. Should have taken a photo with her! Such a nice girl.
Hmm, this place was quite nice to shop, but we did not have time after purchasing our facial product.
Next, we went to Myeong - Dong
Myeong-dong is one of the busiest places in Seoul and is among Korea’s premier shopping destinations. Over 1 million shoppers pass through this area each and every day. Located in the heart of Seoul, Myeong-dong market has been a witness to Korea’s tumultuous modern-day history as a center of city politics, economy, and culture. To international visitors, Myeong-dong is a stunning shopping district with countless shops and restaurants. Its wild popularity has led to similar shopping districts springing up all across the country.
Our lunch at Myeong Dong..We had problem communicating what we wanted here. Lucky, some china people working here and she came out from kitchen to take our order.
It was snowing heavily! Very fast, all was covered with white snow.
Basically, this was like Orchard road? There were small shops around also. A lot of accessories shops, you can also find faceshop, other cosmestic shops here. Here, we bought a BB cream from Faceshop. My niece said this particular BB cream, her friend tried on half of her face and immediately able to view instant lift on the side of her face which she applied. Is it so good?
This snoopy was actually from some restaurant. After taking photo, it would point to some restaurant with dog sign.
Bought 2 Longchamp bags from the airport with 20% discount. My niece's friends had asked her to buy for them as they said it was cheaper to buy in Korea's airport. She really bought a lot, not for herself but for her friends..Without discount, it was already cheaper, with discount it was a bonus!
