Korea 2015 D4

After the conference, switched to a cheaper hotel that is in Myeongdong

Then started our shopping at the Underground Express Bus Terminal where things are so cheap u do not need to bargain. Followed by lunch at the shopping center nearby which feels like Taka

Followed by Shopping again at Gangnam

Finally back to Myeongdong for our BBQ dinner!

One of the best tasting charcoal BBQ we had!
This is one of the highly recommended restaurant on tripadvisor

Then continue shopping at myeongdong till the shops close and so glad our hotel is right in myeongdong

Korea 2015 D3

Shopping at our favourite place -- Insadong

Just like our previous trip, shopping at Insadong is one of the most enjoyable activity!

Nice decors all over the shopping area selling really nice and intricate things
Not forgetting to buy something for our future new house.. haha

walking towards bukchon hanok village

Stopped at what looks like an authetic korean restaurant once again
Only few dishes available but very delicious once again!

Nice squid

and ending off beautifully with rice wine

Korea 2015 D2

Shopping at Dongdaemun after my conference
Followed by a late dinner
Went into what looked like a non touristy restaurant
Ended up not understanding the menu, randomly pointed at one that seemed safe as all their waiters could not speak or understand a bit of english

Turned out to be good!
This meat is very delicious!

Delicious too!

After a satifsying dinner, we strolled back to our hotel
Passing by ddp

Korea 2015 D1

I arrived much later than Daddy, and checked in to Grand Ambassador Hotel
The person in charge of picking me up from the airport was complaining of the long wait as i had to queue up for so long at the custom! But such arrangements of transport from the airport to the hotel is always greatly appreciated!

Met Daddy and off we went to Noryanjin Fish Market

All the fresh seafood to choose from for our dinner... spoilt for choices.
Interestingly, most of the seafood stall owners were PRCs, the Korean store owners only sell fresh fish

Bought from a Korean and brought them up to the restaurant for our dinner!

Prawns.. fresh and alive and jumping
Daddy trying to prevent them from jumping out onto the table

Step 2: peeling off the shells from the struggling prawns
Not an easy job, I am in charge of eating..

Nice tasting prawn!
Also the sashimi from the fish we chose (half of it)

BBQ scallops!

And the other half of the sashimi in the pot
Great dinner!
