KOREA (SEOUL) DAY 2 : COEX Aquarium & COEX Mall

The view from our hotel ♥
Requested for a higher floor 'cos I saw reviews about the hotel getting noisy at night.


Breakfast was from a random noodle shop near hotel selling SG local food I guess?


Totally love Korea's small cafes/shops, well decorated. Seems like each and every shop is suitable for a photoshoot.






2nd day activity would be a visit to the largest underground shopping mall in Asia, Coex mall.

The purpose of going to Coex mall

1) Bookstore! Bandi & Luni (I always have a thing for bookstore when I'm overseas, so far the bookstore in Taiwan sells the most interesting books!)
2) Sea Aquarium (well I heard that it was the world's largest aquarium, used to, at least not until the one at Sentosa was built)

Getting to Coex Mall
Exit 5 and 6 of Samseong Station (Seoul Subway Line 2- yellow colour)
Price
Adult: KRW 17,500
Teen: KRW 14,500




Oh! And Paris Baguette, gosh! Love their cheesecake and it's our "MUST EAT" daily food!
The ones in SG can never compared to it, way way wayyyyy overpriced and meh.
I do love the garlic bread here though, I don't see it in Korea.





We stopped by Artbox 'cos we are all crazyyyy about anything cute. HAHAHA. And yes, we spent quite a bit in there.


And well, below are just some photos in Coex Aquarium and fishes and interesting things and.... I don't know, if you're bored just stroll till the end. Lol.



















































































Dinner was at some random cheap stall in the mall. Yumz kimchi soup too! ♥







They call this the Korea Banana. Lol.


This....is the best drink in Korea, no doubt we had this baby everyday!


Later in the night we went to Dongdaemun Market. Honestly, they somewhat only entertain wholesaler and random tourists like us who only wanted to get 1-2 pieces max don't get much attention from them -_-
It's really a big mall and you might actually shop till you drop, literally.

Getting to Dongdaemun Market
Take Subway Line No. 2, No. 4 or No. 5 to Dongdaemun Stadium Station and go out from Exit 14.

Things to take note:
Buy in bulks
Not much of a bargain place 'cos it's alr in wholesale price.
Crowded during weekends.


We ended the day by soaking our feet in warm water. SHIOK!!!
Till next time, xx (:
