Korea Trip - January 2014 - Day 2
Sunday, May 25, 2014 | 6:04 AM |
Basically we always start our day late for the 9 days. Usually when we get out of the hse it will be like 12 plus or 1 plus, might due to us sleeping at 2 or 3am every night. haha. Day 2 was basically well spent in Myeongdong because we seriously walked a lot of rounds and I'm familiar with this place already. There's many beauty brands here and all the shops are so pretty!
Nature Republic! The first store out of the station.
Tony Moly!! It's a pity that it wasn't JYJ endorsing when I went Korea, if not I'll be sweeping products inside.
Not sure about this brand but its the ice princess' endorsement!
As usual, the pinkest store deco goes to Etude House~ I can't keep my eyes off the store cause it's so princess~
Luhan, Baekhyun and Kai standees standing off the streets hehe. All the NR stores in Myeongdong basically have these 3 standees, didn't see any other members... (Kris WRU! D= )
As usual, we can't decide on what to eat because its the morning and there's a lot of opinions of what to eat. Just no one could decide. So I'm like, just walk into a store and we see how. The chicken stall we chose is at the end of the Myeongdong street~ The fried chicken was really delicious, like the most crispy ever, not sure if all of them taste like this in Korea, but I'm loving it~ It is the first and last fried chicken I had because Bel couldn't eat fried stuffs D= The noodles is spicy and not really to my taste, we didn't finish it anyway. I really wanted to tried the porridge at Myeongdong but we didn't get a chance in the following days ): NEXT TIME I'LL BE THEREEEEEE
Of course we couldn't miss SPAO by SM!! It a 5? level store with the last level being everysing. There's like a total of 3 everysing in Myeongdong alone. 2 at the Lotte Young Plaza, 1 being pop up store at level 1, another main store at the basement. I think only the outlet at SPAO has the neoprint machine? We had a lot of fun with the machine choosing the members we want. haha, too bad EXO is not in the list yet. We chose SHINee for most of the background and took one with Donghae for Girlf who wasn't able to be with us for this trip~ I bought quite a lot of things there and got a few free posters =D Oh, I also got one bag and one pair of high cut shoes from there. It's only like 10sgd for the bag and 20sgd for the shoes. really worth it!
Jholic at the second storey~
Jaejoong's Signature!
Jholic was really nice and the place is filled with foreigners (mostly fans I see). The staffs there are really good looking but maybe not that helpful or offer bright smiles. But it's just for the experience and they offer free wifi. The drinks there are special and tasteful thou :D
The Pop Up Store at Lotte Young Plaza Level 1. There's only 1 or 2 staffs there. (Did I forget to mention that do not expect good service from any every-sing staffs no matter which outlet is it because they prefer not to bother about you.) There's only a small portion of display here and it's only for EXO merchandises.
EXO's bongbongbong advertisement at the subway station~
We went Namdaemun after shopping at Myeongdong. All the shops are closed but there are roadside stores where they always film dramas at. We went in one of the stores and the ahjumma was really nice to serve us one bowl of hot soup before we even start ordering. There wasn't many people inside the one we are in but mostly business men sitting together and chatting. The food was quite nice and reasonable priced! The kimchi/seafood pancake and fish cake soup was delicious. We took a cab home after that because it's really freezing outside. I got some tears in my eyes by the time a cab comes around lol.
