This time we wake up early and had breakfast at Paris Croissant (Only Rash and Own). Then we head to Insadong by foot. It’s actually took only 10 mins from our guesthouse.
While waiting for two sweety guys, baik snap!
I get so hyperactive when I was in Korea
Check on our itinerary before bergerak
This time, we waited them to choose coffee and pastries.
We arrived at Insadong when most of the shops still close. Most of people said this is the right place to get souvenirs. For me, you better get it from Dongdaemun. Cheaper
Still close
They welcomed us with choir

Me trying to find the right path
Maybe there…
And we found ….
We walked further down until we found Cheonggyecheon stream at the central of the city. This place is suitable for people who want a very peace and harmony environment. Absolutely stunning view.
Cheonggyecheon Stream!!!
What happened to Own? Kata hero remaja 1987
Self-cam. Thanks to Samsung for Lomo effect
Reading history of the stream. We were so focused!
Campak coins and make a wish
We bumped into one Korean guy wearing Hanbok (Traditional Korean clothing) with his microphone. Apa lagi, posing time lah!
Hanbok Man. He’s so nice to us
Thanks Kak Filipino for perfect photo
Tekan ni before crossing the road
Jom melintas!
Then, we walk straight until the end of the stream and we found huge replica in the middle of the road.
And behind it, there’s a palace facing the hill. It’s actually a famous Gyeongbukgung Palace. That’s all I know. Advice: Do some research on history because you will appreciate it more.
Panglima I guess
So gigih these 2 photographers
They explained it in Korean language
Kids activities
Huge
I must say this photo looks fantastic. Good job Rashwan!
This is our best pose to describe a perfect weather in Korea

The journey continues to …But wait, Own needs some pamper time with his new friend.
Grown up lah Own!
Farewell Steve Jobs, at Apple Store in Korea 🙁
Korea flags
This time we head to Namsan Tower. As we don’t know how to get there by bus, we hike the hills. Our motto of the day: Keep walking baby!
Cable car to Namsan Tower
Finally sampai!
Once arrived, we bought cable tickets which I forgot how much.
You have to queue in a ‘pair system’. It took only 10 minutes to arrive at the peak point.
You can choose to hike Mt. Namsan using stairs provided. For us, sorrylah. We’re running out of energy already lah!

And finally…sampai pun!
Muka penat tapi puas hati
At base level of N Seoul Tower, you will notice love padlocks hanging around at the fences. You can see millions of it.
This is only 1 area
According to source, this is culture where lovebirds lock their love symbolize of promise made since 1980s. So have you locked your love? Why not you come over here and lock it!
Fantastic Four
Churros time
Try our luck guna short cut turun bawah. Berjaya uols!
So, we have to find it by going to the town. We stopped by at coffee shop named Cafe Bene!
Penat faces…
Cafe Bene is quite similar to Starbucks
I love this technology. It will vibrate to notify it’s your turn to take foods! Cool kan?
After gained our energy, we go to Han River which quite far away from town.
Han River is the best place to have picnic. Most of Korean teenagers spent their evening time by visiting this place. With the weather like that, it’s totally perfect.
Han River view
Ada guy offered himself to take a picture of us. So kind!
And thanks to you Own
We spent our time at Han River by taking tons of pictures. Check it out:
ME always get ready. Rash, entahlah!
Dan sekali lagi, Rashwannnnn!
And look at Rash’s face LOL
Okay this is too much Rashwan! LOL. What happens in Korea, stay in Korea
Good night Rash!
Thank God ada juga yang perfect
After Han River, we took subway direct to Hongdae University. Most of people said this is suitable place for teenagers like us to party!
But, we skipped it.
We were too tired!
Waiting for subway to come
Karaoke place yang cool. I want this in Malaysia
Hello Kitty restaurant
Free performance to watch
Rash found HALAL Kebab down the street
We’re going home for a Maggie session again. For this time, we had an opportunity to chat with one uncle from Singapore. He listened to us gossiping in Malay language.
He asked us, where are we from and chat about his travel experience.
He’s in 40++ I guess yet he inspires us.
Singaporean uncle who travels a lot
Stay tuned for Day 3 post 🙂
