I usually book our flights every December 31st of the year as this is usually the period when Cebu Pacific offers their Piso Fare deal. I booked a flight to Seoul, Korea and our roundtrip airfare costs only around P5,000 each. That's a pretty good steal considering the 4-5 hours travel time. Anyway for this trip, I traveled with my family (that means me, my mom, my brothers and their wives).

Arrival at the Incheon Airport |
Anyway, our flight is at 3:00 pm on September 15, 2016 and we arrived at the Incheon International Airport at around 8 PM. After passing the immigration, we looked for a convenience store where we bought our T Cards which we used as payment for public transports around Seoul. Before our trip, my sisters-in-law and I made our advanced booking and itinerary to make our trip more convenient. Each of us loaded Php 1500.00 worth of load in our T Card. After that, we decided to get the WIFI egg for roughly around Php 1500 per unit which can accommodate up to 3 mobiles. Since we are travelling for a group of 6, we decided to get 2 units so it will be easier for us to communicate in case someone gets lost.

During our trip, we only made 3 advance online bookings; our roundtrip airport transfers via limousine (Good for 7 pax, around Php1,298.99 each), our Everland package with bus to and from Myeongdong (Php2,261.79) and the Lotte World Adventure (Php 1,522.36 each).

As you can see, the limousine van is very spacious, comfortable and most of all, it has a free and super fast wifi. If you want to travel light, you can opt to avail the
Luggage Delivery service from airport to hotel for a very affordable price.
We stayed at K Guesthouse Premium Myeondong 4 which is located at the center of the make-up capital of Seoul. The location is perfect for travelers who love to stroll around Myeongdong. Unfortunately for us, we only have 4 days to squeeze all the locations included in our itinerary so we hardly stayed around Myeongdong for some shopping.
Anyway, here's how our hotel looked like.
The room is kind of small just like the rooms in Tokyo but the skin and hair care items are superb! We never used our own toiletries because the hotel's freebies are very nice.
After resting and putting our luggages inside our rooms, we finally went out to eat dinner. Since we arrived around midnight at Myeongdong, there were only a few establishments open during that time so we ate at a fastfood near our hotel called Baekje Samgyetang. Here are some of our pics during our first dinner in Seoul.

We strolled around the area and tried to eat streetfood as well but since it was late already, we only tried a few.

Deep-Fried Shrimp |
Of course, my day will never be complete without some sweets so I tried this super dainty strawberry yogurt ice cream from a store called The Milky Bee. I swear, this is super yummy and the strawberry and yogurt is LEGIT satisfying!!!! It really is a MUST-TRY!!! :)
