It was our last day in Korea and we decided to ditch our initial plan to visit Everland as we still have plenty of shopping to do before heading home. So we came out with a spontaneous plan after our breakfast at the hotel and headed to Hongdae- the hip-hop town.
Since I did not do any homework for this place, we went straight to the tourist centre to ask for directions and map. We went to Hongik University, Hongdae playground, Running Man, Haha's restaurant and even had time to stop for a cup of coffee at Hello Kitty Cafe. After that, we did some shopping around Hongdae, and the things are quite affordable.
We then headed to Namdaemun Market just to check it out and do some shopping. We managed to buy some souvenirs from a shop there which are cheap and pretty. After Namdaemun, we went to Lotte Mart for our last hour shopping to bring home food items for friends and family and also not forgetting ourselves.
After a full day of shopping, we decided to reward ourselves with a full meal of BBQ pork since we miss it so much since the last one in Jeju. But the taste of average pork is no where near black pork. It was a fairly good meal considering the cheaper price. We ordered a serving of premium spare ribs and wine-braised pork belly.
Before going back to our hotel, we went to the hotel next to us to buy tickets for KAL limousine bus which would bring us straight to the airport. The bus tickets cost us 16000 won per person but we figured it is still cheaper than getting a cab. We flew back the following morning to Penang, our beloved homeland.
Goodbye Korea! Till we meet again~~
