Three weeks have passed since we got back from our trip to Seoul, South Korea. Ngayon lang ako nagka-time na magupdate ng blog. Haha! Seoul is a beautiful city, with lots of places to visit, lots of food to eat, and lots of people to meet. We were also able to visit other cities in South Korea, too. It was definitely a trip worth remembering. Let me share some photos I took during our 5 day vacation. (Photos taken with my iPhone 6 and with my cousin's camera)
DAY 1: Touchdown, South Korea!
Incheon International Airport
Their airport is sooooo huge!!! It has rail transport inside bringing passengers to different parts of the airport, just like the ones they have in Hong Kong International Airport. Ansabe ng NAIA?!

| Annyeong haseyo! Nice one, IIA! |
 |
| Oh hello there, Mr. Korean! :) #photobomber |

| All smiles! :) |
Doo Guesthouse
Our home away from home! We stayed here for 3 days. The hanok is very cozy with uber hot ondol! LOL. It is also near everything! Glad we stayed here! I will definitely stay here again on my next visit.

| Hanok, a Korean traditional house |
Bukchon Hanok Village
This quaint little village is just a few minutes away from our guesthouse. :D
 |
| Annyeong haseyo! |
Gyeongbok Palace
 |
| Ang daming Korean tourists! |
 |
| Do the ANTM sakit ulo pose! |
 |
| Aaaaaah!!!! Cherry blossoms!!!!! |
 |
| My aunt told me a Koreanovela shot one of its scenes here. Pose naman ako. |
 |
| Kimchi pots! |
Insadong
One of the best places to buy pasalubong! This place also houses a lot of coffee and tea shops.
 |
| The famous Insadong landmark |
 |
| Cute coffee shop :3 |
 |
| Korean dumplings! |
 |
| Yey for pasalubong! |
DAY 2: Nami Island / Petite France Day Tour
It was 8 degrees during this time. It was so cold! We booked our Nami Island/Petite France tour before traveling. It is better to book the tour in advance so that we will not worry about finding tour companies once we get to Seoul.
After our Nami Island Tour, we ate lunch then went to this cute little French village. Little Prince lovers, rejoice! This is the place to be! A lot of Korean shows were shot in this French themed place. Nothing much to see and do here, though.
 |
| Bienvenue to Petite France! |
 |
| Bonjour, Le Petit Prince! |
 |
| Cute colored houses :3 |
DAY 3: Namsan Guesthouse 4, Myeongdong, N Seoul Tower, Namdaemun
I love the location of the next guesthouse that we stayed because it is in Myeongdong! The very famous shopping district in Seoul.
 |
Myeongdong!!! Shopping!!!
|
 |
| Shoes!!! My weakness! |
N Seoul Tower
In order for you to reach the place where the tower stands, you need to hike a very steep slope. It was so tiring, I swear! I was catching my breath when I reached the top.
 |
| Nice to see you, N Seoul Tower! |
 |
It's not everyday you get to see a famous Filipino person in a foreign country. Photo op!
Nice to meet you Sir Sonny Belmonte! |
 |
| Arn was here | 4-3-15 :)) |
 |
| Love you guys :3 |
Namdaemun
It's like Korea's version of Divisoria. Haha! I was able to buy some adorable keychains here.
DAY 4: DMZ Half Day Tour, Hongdae, Myeongdong Cathedral
Definitely the highlight of our trip. I got to see North Korea which was spine-tingling. I will also never forget our walk down the third infiltration tunnel. It's a long way down and boy it was tiring!
 |
| Imjingak Park |
 |
| Dora Observatory |
 |
| We in DMZ! |
 |
| The entrance to the Third Infiltration Tunnel |
 |
| Off to Pyeongyang! LOL |
Hongdae
After our half day tour, we asked our tour guide to drop us off in Hongdae. Yey! I get to eat in a Korean buffet restaurant! First time! I was so happy!
 |
| HAPPINESS! |
 |
| Busy Hongdae |
 |
| So sad we had to leave our transparent umbrellas at the guesthouse :( |
 |
| Myeongdong Cathedral |
 |
| DEAD TIRED. |
 |
| Manila bound :( |
'Til we meet again, South Korea! :)
