Last day in Seoul
Places visited - Itaewon, Seoul Mosque, Namdaemun, Myeongdong
After War Museum we went to the famous Itaewon.
Itaewon is well known for the international street cause you can find all sorts of foreign country shops and restaurants here. This is where you can find a lot of halal food as well.
The moment we walked out from the subway we could smell, literally smell some meat getting grilled. It was some kebabs! But our mission in itaewon was to get proper Korean Halal dish. Few of our friends recommended this restaurant.
Oh theres a lot of guide around there, you can just ask where you're heading and they'll point you the way together with a map.
Directions to Muri. Just find your way to the Seoul Mosque. On the way to the mosque, you will find Muri on your right. This restaurant is owned by a Pakistani/Indian who married a Korean I think? The wife is pretty and friendly. We were so tempted with the fried chicken. But wanted to have proper Korean meal instead. Heee.
I sweat the weather was getting crazier by noon. It was freezing. I think the temperature dropped to 4 degrees even though its noon! So after lunch we headed to the mosque nearby. And the wudu' place is outside. Since I couldnt pray I accompanied my friend there. We were literally shivering from the wudu' place up to the mosque.
After prayers we walked around in Itaewon and make our way to the places we'd like to visit again, which is Namdaemun Market! Visited the place to get all the stuff we wanted to buy in the first place. Spent good 3 hours there. Found a lot of wholesale accessories place as well.
Second last stop of the day is Myeongdong. Sells lots of cheap stuff here too. If you're looking for teenagers/youth/idol-like is all sold here. The bags is only KRW10,000 . Cheap yo! I wanted to look for snowcaps for my brother Kwagsoon ones / Haha ones that they like to wear in runningman but its all sold out. Huu. He should have told me earlier, theres like a bunch in Namdaemun. The weather this time around was freezing I tell you.
Oh bought more facial products here. Haha handcreams for me. like all kinds. See shopping stuff for girls is much easier, so end up giving the handcream as souvenirs for the family ^^ Ofcourse, we had our last coffee in Myeongdong *sad*
Headed back to our hostel and started our massive packing. We decided not to sleep that night but Kin was having stomach ache, nevertheless we did went to Gaepan one last time. Ordered Egg Soup. Awesome warm soup makes tummy happy.
Came back, packed one last time and slept for good 2 hours and left our hostel at 6.30. theres a shuttle bus/limo bus for KRW10,000 to Airport. Its just across our hostel. Our bags were heavy alright. We were staying on the seventh floor and from sixth to seventh floor theres not elevator!
We arrived about 9.00 am. It was one hour ride from hongdae to the airport, and the ahjusshi helps you carry your bag out from the bus too. Checked in. Then went to hunt for our banana milk. Sadly we couldnt find any convenience store and we were running out of time. Bought starbucks instead.
Bid goodbye to Seoul.
Till we meet again, next year perhaps?
