Seoul Autumn Love 2011 - Day 7

05th November 2011

( T . T )

We are going back tonight. As our flight is after midnight on 06th November 2011, we are definitely not going to waste time. So here we go dashing to do our last minute shopping in Myeongdong.

Our 1st stop …… Gwanghwamun Subway Station.

Inside Gwanghwanmun Subway Station - Even the walls are made of marbles
Water cooler. Cool..!!
Haechi

Missions 1 : Phototaking of King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun-Shin

Mission 2 : Buy souvenirs of Haechi

Haechi Madang. Don't ask me what it means.
Yes, we are here.
Cute!!!!
This is cuter!!! Which one?

2nd stop …… Insadong

We went to Insadong again using the free shuttle service provided by Ibis Hotel. Save the walking! We had our lunch in Insadong.

This restaurant is in an alley after Ssamzigil. The broiled pork was so super yummy that Mum and me finished the whole plate by just the 2 of us and it actually serves 4 pax. *SLURP*

Broiled pork. This is delicious.
Wow....... big feast.

However, we are more curious with the queue outside this restaurant. Apparently, all these people are queuing for mandu (dumpling) and the fried dumpling looks delicious to me.

Exploring Insadong ............ again. As it is a Saturday. There are more stalls on the streets selling all kinds of food and stuff. In conclusion, one must plan at least 1 weekend in Seoul to see all this special events.

Ceramic pots to keep Kimchi? 
Coffee or Tea House 
Peanut candy

Welcome to Seoul!! 
Pretty hairbands 
Chinese candy - 龙须糖 
Korean Traditional Candy - It's kinda too hard to eat. 
Hot oven bun
Variety of food
Hottdeok (Brown sugar peanut bun) - MUST EAT!!!

Eventually, it's time for us to leave for the airport. Goodbye Myeongdong. 

Incheon International Airport
We finally have some time to see Incheon International Airport after the rushing arrival 7 days ago. However, how should I put it, the airport is a dead town after 2130hrs (9.30pm). All shopping galleries in the departure hall are closed even the information counter. We wanted to ask if there is any place where we can have our dinner.

In the end, with the help of the Information Map, we managed to locate a 24 hours operating kiosk that sells sandwiches and drinks. I bet my mum is sad that she needs to eat sandwiches for dinner. 

Shops are closed and barely anyone.

*Additional information:
For those whose flight are late like us, there is a FREE shower facility which includes FREE face towel and shampoo near The Hub Lounge (located : Airside - Level 4, Transfer Service Complex)  inside the departure hall. Prepare your own amenities if possible. 

The free shower facility is a bonus to me because I can shower before boarding the plane. I feel so refresh after that but once again, it closed at 2200hrs. They do not accept anymore guest after 2145hrs. 

Ok, times up. Our flight is taking off. Goodbye Seoul and Hello Singapore!!!!
