Itinerary for the second day 

- Breakfast at Bonjuk Myeongdong (Korean Rice Porridge) 



OPPA!!!

menu

I think I order Abalone Porridge. The portion is quite big for me as I don't really eat breakfast.

Overall, taste not bad. 

Fyi, they can't allow you to share. So each of us need to order.

I'm not a beef person but this is so addictive when you eat porridge.

- Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market 

Actually was slightly abit cold but I still can take it because I'm YOUNG. HAHAHA

Very interesting place to explore. Sell all types of seafood.

After you bought some seafood, you can go second level and ask any restaurant to cook for you.

(But it's gonna be quite expensive.  I will put my vlog at the end of the post and you can check it out)

That's is restaurant that we ate/

Our expensive "lunch"

- Gwangjang Market 

Direction: Alight at Jongno 5-ga Station and exit 8, walk straight and you will Gwangjang Market on your left side. 

This is a must to go!

  

Yes it was very crowded because tourist spot ma.

 

And yes, we came here to try the live octopus!

I've been dying to try this!

It cost 15,000 won (SGD $17) for one. I share with my friend.

We try some food in other stall tool.

- Hongdae Street 

Direction: Alight at Hongik University Station and exit 9. Walk straight until you see Mcdonald and turn left. After you turn left, you will see F21 located on your right and the Angel-in-us coffee on your left. Congrats, you are in hongik Street. Hahaha.

Omg I love walking at Hongdae. It's like you walk at Orchard Road that kind.

Ahhh. I wish to live in korea

- Dinner at Myeongdong Street Food (The street food actually not cheap HAHA)

Omg I love the cloths in this store (Myeongdong)

Bought this Double Lasting Foundation from Etude House at Hongdae.

It's cheaper than Myeongdong.

Went to Korea with my friends last year.  

Details:

Korea Flight: 17 October 2019 at 10.35pm to 25 October 2019 at 6.40pm (Korea Air)

HOW MUCH IS THE AIR TICKET AND HOTEL?

The total cost was SDG$5,981.11 include hotel (3 rooms) and flight for 5 people.

So each person is SGD$1,196.20. 

(But unfortunately due to unforeseen situations, two of them which is husband and wife are unable to go. So the remaining three of us got one room each)

WHERE DID I GET THE SIM CARD?
Bought the Korea sim card from Qoo10 (ICC) cost about $12.20 after using cart discount.

WHERE IS THE HOTEL LOCATED AT?

We stay at the Savoy Hotel which located at Myeongdong, very near to MRT.  It was very convenient.
Direction: Alight at Myeongdong Station and exit 7 but the escalator is very small. There is a lift but it's another side of the exit. I think it's exit 1 or if you don't mind taking the stairs, exit 6 will be nearer.

Lines store just outside our hotel entrance. 
 Warning:
(But better bring all your valuable stuff with you and lock your luggage before you left.
Because got one time, when we are back from the hotel, my friend's room door was open.
The hotel cleaner forgot to close the door. She or he also left the room key as well. 
We were so shocked and kinda angry but we didn't ask for any compensation, just telling them in an angry tone to be careful next time. They keep saying sorry to us so end up we alright with it.)

I was actually very excited about this trip as the last time I went was 2010.

Thanks for reading!
Stay tuned for the 2nd-day post in Korea.

 

Being jobless for about 5 months already. I hate people asking this question "You found a job already?".  

Okay first or second times asking I'm okay with it but more than 2 times, I can't really take it. Some might be just concern about me or some might be just want to kaypo. I just don't like people asking me so many times like as if you're my parent or what. I won't ask people as well because I know it's annoying. Arghhh...

I've been thinking and crying a lot lately.

 I really need a find a stable job that I think I will stay there forever.

I can't let my mum keep working alone. I can feel that she is not feeling too well especially her leg.

Most of the time I will tell her not to buy my food. I'm okay I can cook maggie mee to eat. But she refused and bought for me to eat. 

 But because of this Covid 19, finding job is even harder for me.  Most of the jobs are either too far (like tuas, woodland), or the salary is too low.

Kinda worried about my future. 

I don't want to tell my friends so much because I confirm will cry in front of them. (Even I'm crying now while typing) 

so....... 

To myself: Lian, please don't say only, please do it and jiayou!
