SEOUL BLOG 2016 DAY 3: Garden of Morning Calm, Petite France and Nami Island

Fambam with our Korean driver, Park On our 3rd day, our itinerary is bound for long trips. We decided to hire a cab who took us outside of Seoul for the entire day. We were very happy to meet Park, our cab driver. Our contract with Park was that we used the taxi's meter and we just paid every time we arrive at a new destination. I just cant remember how much it accumulated but it certainly is cheaper since we are dividing the bill among four of us (Mom, me, Kuya, and Ate Lhon). My other brother and his wife, Tin, decided to commute and experience Seoul's transportation system which I think is really fun too. However, if you are a K-drama addict and wants a hassle free trip outside Seoul, you may want to avail of the Nami Island | Petite France | Garden of Morning Calm Packages   at a low price through Trazy.com website.

Korea Shopping and Clothing Haul 2016

I'm a self-proclaimed shopping enthusiast on-a-budget. I love shopping, traveling and just experiencing different cultures. Visiting Seoul is one my favorites so far. It has a youthful vibe similar to my personality. It was fun, very chill and very quirky everywhere you go. Shopping is one of the many reasons why I enjoyed Korea. Although the trip was short, we tried to squeeze in some shopping. Here are the things I got from our trip and the price range so you can use as a guide on your next trip (I'll still try to recall the price range). The currency is either in Philippine Peso or Korean won. Let's start with the items I got from OPM Mall in Dongdaemon. It was late already so we only had an hour to stay in this Mall at around 1:00 am. This place has one of the nicest and cheapest in Seoul. I bought this white top for $10,000 KRW. Almost all the clothes in Korea cost from 10k-15k KRW for an average top or shirt. Not really cheap but really good quality as comp...

SEOUL BLOG 2016 DAY 2: Insadong and Everland

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 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...
