Lunchtime! We had this steamboat and pork with bimbibap rice to go along with it. The portion was too much for me so I did not finish my rice.
A sprite to go along...
We took about 3 hours to arrive at Dongdaemum and we were given 3 hours to roam around before we set off to our next activity site. If you do not know, Dongdaemum Market is the large commercial district comprising traditional markets and shopping centers. A popular shopping and tourist destination, it has been designated a Special Tourism Zone since 2002. It is usually open from late morning to 4am next day.
These are some of the shopping malls. One of it is Doota which is a duty free shopping mall where you can refund the tax at their highest floor. Note: No negotiation is allowed!
This is another mall called maxtyle...
We managed to do some shopping before we gather back to go to our next stop which is part of the programme we need to go. Coming up Kim Chi making session...
Our tour guide, Andy giving a quick brief before he hand the time over to the instructor who taught in chinese. Anyway Andy is a pure korean however he studies in Taiwan for 5 years so he can speak mandarin.
The blue cup is actually milk with ginseng which tasted quite nice!
Everyone getting ready...
Me and Dear in our aprons doing Kimchi...
This is mine!
I finished mine faster than Dear so managed to take this shot of him...
This is Dear's...
After the kimchi making, we were given the time to wear their traditional costumes and take some photos! Me and Dear with their background setting for phototaking...
Other families in the costumes too...
We went pass Yoido Full Gospel Church where it was so near yet so far! We will definitely come back to visit this church. This is the largest Korea Church!
After the kimchi session, we went on to their Sea World...
Giant mammal
Real fish that look fake to me...
The sea world is actually inside this building called The 63 Building officially known as the 63 City, is a skyscraper on Yeiuido island, overlooking the Han River in Seoul. The building is 249 meters (817 ft) high. Some views from the highest floor...
This is mini melt which is actually ice-cream! I tried the chocolate flavor and its nice! I actually saw this many times at Everland but didn't really want try cos its cold to eat ice-cream in winter. Until one of my tour group girl say must try. They even have candy floss flavor!
After the visit, we went on to have our dinner which consist of Ginseng Chicken and Mee Sua! There is a abalone inside too but too bad I don't eat so I gave away...
After dinner, we went to check in to our hotel, Sheraton Seoul D Cube City Hotel, 662 Gyeongin-Ro, Guro-Gu, Seoul. We were allocated to the 30th floor and this is our room view.
Our bathroom...Big and spacious!
I love bath tubs... Haha
Our bedroom...
After a short rest, me and Dear continued to go out and explore Dongdaemum by traveling ourselves. It was an experience taking their train. The traveling journey from our hotel to there is about 40 minutes.
Their train map... looks complicated right!
We actually came our of the wrong station and end up we got to walk a distance to Dongdaemum. While we were walking, there was fireworks at the stroke of 12 as it was New Year day! This is how me and Dear counted down, walking in the cold street haha....
While walking around, we definitely have to try their street food...
We continued walking and bought some jeans for ourselves. As the night was turning cold and it was like 1+am, we took a cab back to the hotel and ended the day.
