What I miss most in Korea are the unique store-front displays. They are inspiring, and definitely enticing. While I was there, it was easy to imagine my own ANAGON fashion store!
Korea also thought me to swatch a lot of lipstick and cushion foundations because of their many makeup stores! If you're going to Korea to shop... Then list down these places on your itinerary!
After the DMZ tour, and after Paul left for the airport (huhu), Tracy and I decided to just maximize whatever we can see in our area. I really recommend staying at the New Sun Guesthouse while in Korea because it is not only near Myeongdong, but also in two of Korea's tourist spots Namsan Park and N Seoul Tower!
DMZ is the buffer zone between North and South Korea, the border where negotiations take place. It is also one of our "let's see!" in our Korea itinerary.
First, I realized that we needed to book the tour in advance - legally speaking we can't go on our own thus the need for a tour group. Second, I fear that it might not be as safe as what the Internet is telling us. And third, worth it ba sa presyo?
Anyway, I went for it nonetheless because as always I asked myself my biggest travel question: if not now when? We booked through our inn keeper, who called Sun Burst Korea agency around 24 hours before our planned date. Before we knew it, we were set for pick-up by our tour guide directly at our guesthouse at around 7:30 in the morning the next day. Agad agad.
After Nami Island, we rode the Gapyeong City Tour Bus to avail their one-day unlimited hop-on, hop-off rides around the city for only 6000 Won (Php 238, just purchase ticket from the driver).
Our next stop was at Petite France, a place I had been super curious about for a long, long time. We got there around 20 minutes from Nami Island. Had to wake up Tracy from her siesta, hehe.
I don't know how people sort their photos for their travel posts! Talent sya! It's so hard to pre-select, delete, select again, and then edit the "final pictures", only to realize that it's still over 100+ photos that you'd like to share!
Our day in Nami Island, Petite France, and Garden of Morning Calm turns out to be one of those days worth thousands of photos. Will people still go through this post? Haha! So I decided to split the day's blog post to two para hindi naman nakakapagod.
Unlike my Japan trip, I miraculously brought a camera in Korea. I think getting a 2nd-hand camera is one of the best decisions I made, it inspired me to take better pictures, and even shoot some OOTDs!
Other than the new camera, I also owe my Korea travel buddies @tracyayson and @paultheprguy for being masipag in taking my pictures, so thank you! Haha! Sharing the spring outfits I came up with for this 8-day vacation.
Hi guys! I am currently distracted by a lot of things right now, from BU work, to this nasty hot weather, to our country's messy politics in all my newsfeed (except Instagram, thank God for curated feeds, haha). The more it felt like last week's Seoul adventure was just a dream.
During our first night, while Tracy and I were enjoying our Korean face masks, Paul was already Vibering his whereabouts. He was sending screen shots of his Google Maps, trying to decipher where New Sun Guesthouse is from the subway. Yep, our small cast just grew into 3!
To me, Day 1 in traveling is meant for exploring your chosen neighborhood.
I am kind of excited for this trip because 1) It's a first for me and my friend Tracy to go out of the country together, 2) It's my first time in Korea, a dream that didn't happen last Fall 2015, and 3) I just love layering + colder climate!

Tracy was wearing heattech + scarf throughout the trip, while I just snuggled in 2-layer clothing. I realized how much I love the cold weather! My skin is better, my hair is better, and ang importante sa lahat, walang hulas-hulas at the end of the day. :D
Kamsahamnida! Thank you thank you guys for reading my first Korea post! After receiving feedbacks through my personal messages, I got even more excited to share my stories. May nagbabasa pa pala ng blog ko, hahaha, yey!
So this post is dedicated to our flight to Korea + a little about our budget + our home for eight nights. Next time na ang full day story, super daming photos and details! So Tracy and I booked our airfare mid January of this year, during the big travel expo craze. We booked ours online at http://cebupacificair.com, and paid only Php 15,256 for TWO ROUNDTRIP tickets to Seoul! Sobrang swerte lang!
I can't believe my Korea trip is over! I can still remember when Tracy and I booked for our flights during travel fair season, scored cheap accommodation with #SunAirbnb's promo, and finally when we acquired our visa right after Holy Week!
I wanted to do my usual per-day travel blog posts, but for now, shopping post muna while I enjoy my hibernation mode and my bed.
Living in Myeongdong is both a blessing and a curse: More shopping = More gastos!
