Seoul Trip - Day 2

Day 2

Took the free shuttle service from Hotel Sky Incheon to the Incheon Airport at 9am! Procceded to get the tickets at airport (10,000won per passenger) to board bus 6015. The bus took roughly 1 hour 15min to get to Hotel PJ, the hotel which I stayed for the subsequent 6 nights.Since we could only check in at 2pm, we decided to go shopping at Myeongdong after leaving the luggages at the concierge. It was just a stop away from Chungmuro station (near to hotel PJ).

Settled lunch at this restaurant:

Settled for buckwheat noodles with beef!


After lunch, I went to get some K-pop CDs and yeah just shopped like mad^^
The street of Myeongdong

We went back to the hotel to rest since I shopped till I could not carry anymore plastic bags haha. After that, we took the free shuttle bus service at the hotel lobby. Off we go to Lotte departmental store! There was a crazy crowd at duty free level especially at the 3CE counter. OMG. HAHA. Well it is expected. Anyway I'm glad that I know how to speak Chinese. Many of their sales(persons) are chinese or taiwanese.


My dinner at Lotte Departmental Store food court: Beef Bibimbap!


 Ending off this post with a picture of my bracelet, flowers and (my hand ofc)

Sorry for this short post, I was so busy shopping that I did not take many pictures!

 p/s I wont be featuring any haul posts regarding my beauty-related purchases since I think it's unnecessary and will only do so when I review them! :)

Korea Trip: Night 1

Hey readers! I am so excited to blog about my recent trip to Seoul, South Korea. ^^ I wouldn't consider the first day as 'day 1' because by the time I arrived in Seoul, it was already sleeping time (10pm) BOOHOO. That's what I get for booking cheaper tickets. Oh, btw I took Singapore Airlines

Night 1: I did not do much after landing except checking into a hotel at Incheon area. It was just for a night's stay. I figured that it was cheaper to spend a night near the Incheon airport than taking a taxi to Seoul. I guess I can give a short review of my stay at Hotel Sky Incheon Airport hotel. :) I will just weigh the pros and cons, the likes and dislikes (In point forms) during my stay.

Pictures as seen on agoda:



(+) 24h front desk
I could arrange a free shuttle service from the Airport to the hotel. (Which is a plus, i mean who says no to free transport haha) You just need to go to the info counter at the airport and ask for help to contact the hotel staff. TADAH, the driver arrived 10-15min after the phone call. They even offer the service to drive us back to the airport the next morning. You just need to let the hotel reception know when you check in.

(+) Cosy blanket and bed
I managed to have a good sleep. Aircon was a tad noisy but it did not bother me much.

(+) Availability of food in the neighbourhood

It was a pity that I did not explore the place since it was already late at night. The only stores that were still opened were convenience stores.

(-) Weak wifi
Wifi in the room just did not work. I think my instagram feed only refreshed 2 times haha. Tbh, it was just a night and I could bear with it. After all, I was about to sleep. 
Rating on agoda: 7.5/10
Overall I'm satisfied since its just a night's stay. Definitely much cheaper than the transfer hotel at incheon airport. It was apprx 60+ SGD for a night.
