Travel Vlog
Today was Christina’s last day before flying back home and we decided to rent hanboks and visit Gyeongbokgung (경복궁) for her last day. Opting for a taxi ride this time, we headed to the hanbok rental place near Gyeongbokgung Station before spending our afternoon at the palace walking around and taking pictures.

After we’re done with the wedding shoe shopping (see part 1 here), we headed to Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) to check out Seoul Fashion Week that was going on (see more pictures and read the story here). We spent a good amount of time people watching before moving on to Dosan Tower, more well known as Doota (두산타워), one of the largest fashion malls at Dongdaemun market because Grace and Marshellia wanted to browse around and maybe do some shopping. By the time they finished browsing, the sun already set and we started to make our way to the subway station to head to our dinner plan.
But of course when the two spotted a street vendor near the subway entrance that sells a variety of street food, they had to make a stop and bought some. I guess the walking around we did the past couple of hours have burned all the food that we ate earlier because they said they were hungry enough to eat that and dinner later on.
Christina joined us again for dinner with Soo Zee and Leigh (see more pictures and read the story here). And after dinner was done, we stopped by the convenient store to buy some water and other things before going back to our Airbnb and calling it a day.

First thing that we did for the second day was heading back to Sinchon to get brunch. I took the group to Mapo Mandu (마포 만두), one of my favorite spot in Sinchon that serves delicious galbi mandu (갈비 만두) and cheese ramyeon (치즈 라면) which have became my favorite food to order every time I’m in town. I was hoping that my friends like them as much as I do and turned out, they did. We ordered galbi mandu (갈비 만두), cheese ramyeon (치즈 라면), and odeng (오뎅) to share.
After brunch, the group wanted to get bingsu (빙수) for dessert so we stopped by Sulbing (설빙) and ordered their signature Injeolmi Snowflake Sherbet (인절미설빙) to share.
Today, Christina has an appointment that she has to attend so she split up from the group after we finished our bingsu. Grace, Marshellia and I went to Gangnam to visit this bridal shop that Grace wanted to check out to look for shoes for her upcoming wedding. She tried on some shoes, Marshellia chimed in with her opinions and I took photos and videos while waiting for her to be done placing her order.
To be continued in Part 2.
