Seoul Tour Nov 2014 - Part 1

Hi guys, I'm back again!

In my previous post, it just all about my study tour in Seoul but this time it'll be my own tour around this large city. From the first day arrive in Seoul till my leisure time after class which is end at 4 p.m. everyday.


Day 1 in Seoul, first time took subway train to get to the guesthouse. Kinda challenging as I carried a very heavy luggage! *sigh*


The weather that time was about 10°C or less. It was so cold for me. Huhuhu.. Below pictures is the view around Seoul Station as I need to transfer to Metro Subway from Airport Railway lane to get to the guesthouse. It just within the station too but need to walk outside to get the right lane.

To get to the guesthouse, need to take subway from Seoul Station to Hyehwa station and it takes about 20 minutes.

From Hyehwa station to Fully Guesthouse:

1. Take exit no. 4. 
2. Find the Baskin Robbins as soon you come out of Hyehwa station exit no. 4.
3. Turn left and go straight, on the way you should see the Starbucks and Samsung Mobile shop.
4. Keep walking to the end of road where you will see the 7th Heaven Coffee Shop and the LOHB store. 
5. Cross the big intersection and walk towards to Dunkin’ Donuts directions. 
6. Go straight the road between Dunkin' Donuts and the Daiso building (the small street with all the trees). 
7. You’ll see the main gate of Sungkyunkwan University on your left, keep walking straight till you see the Dongho pharmacy (동호약국) on your left and a police station on your right. 
8. As soon as you see the Dongho Pharmacy, turn left and stay to your left side, you’ll see the Guesthouse on the left.

So after check-in and get some rest, me and my friends went out to Hongdae to meet our Korean teacher who was at that time in her hometown for holiday. She work in Malaysia so when we know she's in Korea, we set meeting with her.

Flea Market in Hongdae

I think this place has been in so many Korean dramas.

One of my favorite Korean street snacks, Hotteok (Sweet Rice Cake)

After that, I met my Korean friend who is a sister to me so I called her 'eonni' which mean big sister in Korean. Jae eonni brought me to Jass Cafe in Hongdae. This place is a must place to go for me as I'm a big fans of Yongseo couple (We Got Married) of season 2. So when I got into this cafe, there's so much feels of the couple as a lot of Yongseo gifts are inside the cafe!!

And their goguma latte is a must try (sorry, no picture of it since I'm so mesmerized with Yongseo stuff, kekeke..)

Below is a scan of their shop card with a hand drawn map.
Nearest station is Line 2 Hongik Unversity Station, exit 2.
