Soul in Seoul - 찜질방 Jjimjilbang Experience

This is an experience you can't miss when visiting Korea. Thanks to the years of Kdrama, set my mind for this a "must visit" ;) 

Thanks to the bunch of 13 tired exhausted bunch trusted me on this (hahaha...surely big part of it coz too late to say no), walked a good long 40mins (I think :p mistaken it will not be too far from Myeongdong because it was just 2 stations away!) The long and sunny walked definitely added on the great experience of it. 

Siloam Sauna located nearby Seoul Station, from Seoul Station with just a few minutes walk. Entrance fee at 10,000 won each from 9am till 5pm. Too bad can't take photo in the bathroom. The experience of walking around the giant bathroom with different shape was definitely a good remembrance ^^ I saw my future in them >< 

Skinny dipped into 42ºC was surely a HOT bath! and a chilled in to 12ºC was truly an unforgettable bath in life. Jjimjilbang is very well equipped. From the difference type of baths, body scrub, sauna room (oxygen, charcoal, ice room -15ºC, Jade and etc), cinema area, hot stone seat, meeting room, gym, game room, hair saloon, nail spa.... you name it and they have it.

As shown in Kdrama, we tried cracked herbal egg on our friend's head, skinny dipped, experienced few hours of Korean. 

행복해요 :)

Soul in Seoul - Gyeongbukgung 경복궁

My second visit after lunch on day 1. When nearing Gyeongbugung, spotted Sejong Center which I watched it before in Running Man ( ;) Impressed with my memory). Nearing Gyeongbukgung, many Hanbok rental shops and nice houses around. Too bad do not have much time, otherwise is a good idea to explore a little more around the area. O ya, passed by the Blue House, had a glimpse of the blue roofing ^^

Gyeongbukgung, or known as Gyeongbuk Palace. It was the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty built in 1395. I never expected that I can be so fascinated by visiting palace, guess the details and the richness of the architecture drew me into it.



Yay! Spotted the dragon!



The Richness.

Soul in Seoul - Namsan Seoul Tower

After years of admiring Korea (thanks much to KDrama ^^), and Yay! I finally visited one of my dreamland. I don't quite understand why but this place seems to have a huge magnet that drew me much into it. A feeling of wanting more is so strong, could be too short the stay ;)

For a long while never join any tour and I know why not, the short 4 days was like a refugee run (saying so, I am still grateful for the rush). After a 6 hours midnight flight, reached Incheon Airport at 6am and the zombie visit started right after. But must be the excitement and the chilling weather, I was feeling fresh and totally left my sleep bugs behind.



I am two weeks earlier, so can only imagine the autum.



The photo bombers ^^







Happy Spider spotted ^^
