Day 4. Ahh. More than half way through the journeyy. Don't wanna leave korea. So today we planned to go to Everland via public transport. Set to go out by 9. Late cause of me & restroom. Then, when we arrived at Gangnam 2 buses passes are still no seat available! And buses to Everland were like 30 minutes apart. Huhu. Because the cab was too expensive and it was already midday we decided to go tomorrow. (Also, decide a little later we go using shuttle bus.) So today shopping day!
After a little walk to bus station (there were like 4 stations on the same road), we went to Dongdaemun. The complexes inside were closed. But outside was still hectic. It was the day before Chuseok btw. Hyundai duty free was open and wah Idk that the prices were in dollars. Haha. Found the cheapest mask of 25pcs for 10k krw at tony moly shop near the streets. Seriously I would go there again to buy. Then, to the art complex. The architecture was heavenly. Sort of places you wanna go skateboarding too. Unfortnately, the gallery was paid ticket so we didn't go in.
Next, Namdaemun! Same complexes inside was closed. But the shops outsides were still open. Here's the places you get cheaper souvenirs. The socks on the outside store were the same prices with fewer options in compare to Myeondong subway shops. I boughts some brooches for my mom. Oooh. And here Namdaemun all cash kinda shops unlike Dongdaemun. Loved Namdaemun!
Then, after we went back to our room to pray & eat, another last night out at Myeondong. Our mission? Busanjib & almonds! We've got Busanjib chicken (even this one I packed also with bap. Mianhae~). I would it was good. Got the mix snowy cheese + spicy. Busanjib in a narrower alley but it's just at the corner of Olive Young with the escalator. Also, I really want to go to Olive Young to spend a lil on myself. The one with escalator inside. Noticing, they don't have much options just specific brands. So if you trying to find something specific, it might be a search through all the stores.
We also did try to go to Lotte duty free store because we got vouchers from our tour of Nami island agent but closed. :( Then, after our nuts, we went to Daiso. It has 12 levels! The size of each floors are very small. The envelops were something people might wanna buy. I bought 2 notebooks for journaling (2k & 3k) & Avengers mousepads for my bros. It was 1k krw only each! Ahh. Alhamdulillah, they loved it. Hehe. Myeondong is still lit even before & also our last day too (Chuseok).
We've got back, packed, and for an early check out tomorrow!
Summary:
Dongdaemun - more modern, fashion & luxury stuff.
Namdaemun - souvenirs, acessories also fashion on streets.
Myeondong - beauty & food night market.
Shopping,
