Annyeong Korea! [Day 1]


 Yoyo!! 

I'm finally back from Korea!

It was such a fun yet tiring trip..maybe because we went for 7 days (too old to play that long lol)+I was sick that time :/ 

Sorry gonna skip my Estonia+Lithuania trip first..:p Korea's one is more important now..haha !!

Some information for you guys!

12/6-20/6
Return flight from SG-Busan 
AirAsia $415 including 25kg of baggage

but my flight ticket a bit exp because I flew back to KK so mine was about $5xx 

I changed roughly $1200 (SGD) and $400 (USD) for my trip :)

Took the midnight flight 6 hours from KL to Busan and finally we are here !! 


 Waiting for our luggages


 Busan Gimhae International Airport


 Annyeong!

 Went to 7-Eleven to buy Cashbee card for us to take metro..something similar to Ez-Link card in SG/Oyster card in London

 Ta dang ! It looks like this. In Seoul, they use T-money card but dis can still be used in Seoul :)
22,500 won 
as we added some $ into it again 

Stayed in Mobydick Hotel for a night before heading to Seoul the next day!

Everything was ok except that the location is a bit hard to find. Hahaha

70,000won for a night for 3 person :)


 Korea-style family room :)



Went to the city centre to have lunch :)

 Haeudae market




 Sesame fillet chicken
So damn nice ! Highly recommended if you are in Busan 
different size of boxes available and we bought the one costs 7,000 won


 Yummy!

Randomly went into one of the restaurants in the market for lunch

 Sorry dont have English words so I can't tell you the name of the restaurant but the outside is like this :)


 Free Kimchi provided 
Too bad I don't like to eat :p


 More side dishes provided 

The food is very nice! Think this is the most satisfying meal in our Korea trip..hahaha ! Highly recommended too :)




 Vegetables dumplings

 Kimchi dumplings

Our lunch was about 11,000 won for 3 person ! Super cheap OMG...

Started to get blocked nose when I reached there. So beh tahan went to pharmacy to get some medicines. Otherwise, I couldn't taste anything if my nose is fully blocked

Korean couldn't really speak English so me and the pharmacists communicate like chicken and duck. Luckily they still understand what I want according to the drug's name. Hahaha..but too bad they don't sell pseudoephedrine therefore I just got the combination of phenylephrine+antihistamine (forgot the name edi..haha)


 All in Korean!
Think even if they gave me the wrong thing oso I wouldn't know 
3,000won


Went to the Busan station next to collect our train tickets to Seoul 



Heading to Taejongdae next by bus. Sorry forgot which bus we took as Busan's trip was not planned by me so I just became the 'follower' Hahah ! 

But basically you just need to sit until the end of the journey :p

 Inside the bus!
Not much seats are available therefore most of the people are required to stand if the bus is full. (Pity the elderly there)

And here don't have the trend of giving seats to other people. 0.0 They think we're weirdo when we gave seats to them. Got 1 auntie ran away when Winson offered his seat to her..so funny !



 Shuttle tram
1500won



 We got in to the tram and went up til the last 2 stops and walked down while enjoying the cold weather :)

Nice place and breathtaking as it was quite further away from the city but you need to walk a lot at here :)

 Nice view and it's very windy!
#niceplacetocommitsuicide#
haha!




Next we went to the Busan tower before having our dinner.
 

 40 stairsteps on the way to Busan tower

 Busan tower






 Lovelocks around the Busan tower!

 Groupfie of the day! :D

 Went to here for dinner (also randomly popped in lol)

This restaurant only sell one type of dish so no nid to choose what you want to eat (easy!) 

Chicken+potatoes+veges+kuey teow

Nice!
26,000won for servings of 3 person

Walking along the streets back to our hotel  



  Fortune tellers!
Too bad you guys only speak Korean otherwise for sure I will go in! Hahaha


Had my banana milk to end my first day in Korea!

Ok..end of my post..time to sleep :p Nite nitez!
