For our first day, we went to Insadong to visit the Nakwon Music Mall. Musicians kc kame in the family so we always make it a point to go to a music store every time we go out of the country. Unfortunately, epic fail ang day namin dahil korean holiday nun at closed most of the establishments inside the Nakwon Music Mall. So we decided to go straight to
Ssamziegil Mall.

| On our way to Insadong |
From Nakwon Mall, you just have to cross the street and walk ng very very light to reach Insadong. This place is where you can buy native korean products and pasalubong at a cheaper price. My sister-in-law planned on buying a traditional korean dress for my pamangkins but since this was our first stop, hindi nya binili. She never found again another store who sells those at a cheaper price. Sayang!

Ssamziegil Mall opens at 10:30am and since mejo maaga pa kame, we shopped at nearby stores in the area. Somehow, mejo mura na xa. For T-shirts with "I Love Korea" print, it cost aorund Php 150-250 lang. Mejo mura na din compared sa Japan.
Ofcourse, kyeme lang saken mga traditional eklavu. Im so over with keychain kind of pasalubongs kc kalat lang sa house so I decided na food na lang ang pasalubong for my officemates and friends. But ofcourse, I will never miss shopping for clothes and so I took videos and photos of fashion stores in all of Seoul. By the way, the current rate during that time is 1000 korean won = Php 42.22.
At 10:30 am we decided to go inside Ssamziegil Mall and do a little stroll. For those of you who are havin' a hard time walking through stairs just like my mom and eldest bro, no need to worry. The building was built going up. You just need to walk and you'll feel na pataas na yung daan biglang 4th floor ka na pla. Super cool!!!
So anyway, since mejo hopeless romantic kame dito, we went to the Wall of Love which is located at the roof top of the mall. Dahil mgpapartner sila, mega picture kme dito at dahil solo mode ako, bumili ndn ako ng love tag for 5000 won.
Dun na din kame inabutan ng lunch time so we checked in sa restaurant sa baba ng mall and fortunately, we super love the food. Koreans are super OC sa gamit. Ayaw nila ng makalat, gusto nila lahat maayos. There was one time in this restaurant in Ssamziegil Mall, I left my monopod and bag sa table. the waitress grabbed my bag and put it in a chair. Inayos nya talaga yung table, ayaw nila ng duminador! hahahaha.. So ayun, we ate our lunch na. They never allow sharing of food so kung 6 pax kame, dapat 6 pcs din ang order tapos bawal magbring ng take out food inside the store. All of them!!! So mejo hindi din tipid pero keri! Masarap naman yung food and mas mura than our meal in Myeongdong from Day 1. Roughly mga P350-500 per meal kame for this trip. Not bad kc sobrang sarap naman! Sulit!

After Insadong, we went back to Myeongdong via taxi coz we have to meet our driver who will bring us to Everland. We availed of the Everland Night package kasi which includes round trip bus fare na for P2261.79 each. You can also avail a package at the Trazy.com wesite. They have one of the best deals for korean tours like the Everland Discount Ticket & Shuttle Bus Package . This is way chaeper than purchasing tickets sa mismong entrance ng Theme Park. Almost 1 hour din ung byahe kaya mejo naka-rest and sleep kame konti. Pero wrong timing din talaga ung booking namen kc Chuseok Holiday sa korea (Thanksgiving) so sobrang dameng tao and haba ng pila sa rides. Anyway, enjoy pa din naman kc sobrang ganda talaga though incomparable pdn with disneyland. To me, mas bet q to kc mas pang-adult ang rides nila as compared to disneysea or disneyland.

We still enjoyed the view, the init and the long line kahit after lunch na kame dumating. Sakto lang yun kc mas mahal ang food inside the theme park compared sa Insadong plus pwede din magbaon ng food so tipid goals talaga! dito namin kinain ung sangkatutak na fried dumplings na binili namin sa Insadong. Meron din Etude house, Olive Young, and other make up and fashion stores inside the theme park. Sobrang entertaining!!! Favorite ko na talaga South Korea!haha..

What we enjoyed the most as a group is yung Safari Adventure. I've never been to Subic Safari kaya sobrang amazed ako dito.. haha.. Pumila kame ng mga 2 hours para dito parang walang katapusan yung pila as in pero super sulit! Andame ko ndn nakain habang nsa pila kaya d ako nagugutom! haha..

Also, dahil thrill seeker ako, kahit solo mode, kinakaya ko ang mga wild rides dahil ungas ung mga utol kong duwakang! ahaha.. I tried the T-Express alone and pinilahan ko xa ng 3 hours! kalurks pero super sulit tapos ang pretty pa ng seat mate ko!
Grabe, umaga pa nugn pumila ko! Gabi na nung nakasakay ako! ang lala! pero again, sulit tlg! Never miss this ride in Everland guys!!!
 |
| Takot na takot na ko neto! Ako lang yata sasakay ng mag-isa sa ride na to!haha |
 |
| My pretty seat mate. Heart heart! |
After that ride, hindi q na nakuha kumain kc akala ko isusuka ko kinain ko buti hindi naman! haha.. AT night, there's a romantic spot in the area na okay for picture taking lalo na for couples. Ang galing ko maging photographer guys promise! hahaha.. Pero dhil wala ako sa picture, Im not posting the picture here. hehe..
After that, meron din silang Everland parade. Not as cute and fancy as Disneyland pero maganda din naman!
At around 10:20 we went back to Myeongdong na and took a cab going to Dongdaemon! Yup, day 1 is not yet over dahil kailangan nmn mapuntahan lahat ng nsa itinerary and that means, our first OFFICIAL SHOPPING DESTINATION (For me lang kc wala ako binili sa Insadong).... Pero sakto, nag-stop ung taxi near Yoogane DakGalbi na supeeeerrrrr favorite ko sa alahat ng food na kinain namen sa Seoul!!! And yes, confirmed maanghang lahat ng food sa korea (Atleast sa fastfoods ha)..

Mejo late na so we stopped at Hello OPM na lang and shopped for clothes. The boys stayed lang outside the mall and gave us more than an hour to shop. Ofcourse nagpapanic ako ksi hindi enough ang 1 hour saken kaya naman over time ako.. hihi.. At dahil ngvvlog ako using my action cam, wala ko picture inside the mall. Sorry guys! Feeling ko kc gusto q na mgshift sa vlogging pero nakakatamad din pala mag-edit ng videos so back to not-so-regular blogging akey! But just to give you some tips, out of all the shopping destinations na pinuntahan namen, Hello OPM Mall houses a lot of clothes for the working people. Hongdae, Gangnam and Ewha dont have lots of variety unliek dito when it comes to office clothes and I can really say na sobrang mura dito compared sa Gangnam. I bough a top for 25,000 won in Hello OPM but in Ewha, I found a similar top for 45,000 won. Sobrang mahal! buti na lang nabili q xa dito.. Again guys, mas mura dito if office clothes lang ha? Most of the casual clothes, mas mura sa ibang shopping destinations. Also, the mall is open from 10PM to 5am kaya sa mga night shifters, feeling q this is the place to be! Pero dahil super late na at mahaba pa ulet ang araw namen, we headed back to our hotel in Myeongdong to rest and sleep.
Super fun shopping day for me.
