since we were not heading much to the usual tourist attractions for this trip, we had more time to explore certain seoul's areas! :D
for this day, we headed to the shopping area - cheongdam & gangnam!
first stop was to garusogil which is a short but utterly delightful strip full of interesting cafes & shops!
we spent almost the whole morning and had our lunch here as well.
cake break at this café: deux amis
lovely selection of cakes - their strawberry is the best seller and we know why for the fresh cream is super good!
pretty cafes and shops lined the street!
we walked quite a fair bit after that, slowly making our way to cheongdam area and eventually to Hyundai departmental store.
what a lovely store! :P
dinner was settled here as well at the basement food court. the food selection is good and ordering is very high-tech there. lol.
so we made the orders at the counter, given a gadget similar to those vibrating ones that we get in SG BUT when back at our table, we were actually supposed to scan the gadget on a raised tab in the middle of the table. apparently, the orders will be sent electronically to the respective vendors and food will be delivered to the right table. impressive!?
we were just sitting there thinking the gadget will vibrate and we were to collect the food later.. an auntie who helps to clear tables saw us and helped us do the scanning and gestured that food will come to us shortly! lol. lucky for her, if not our food will never get prepared. we really thought the orders were sent out at the counter but no, you need to do the scanning at your table...
as usual we over-ordered...the boys cant finish their set meal of beef bulgogi rice + udon and I can never finish my own set meal... in the end the husband over-ate again.. OOPS.
after dinner, we walked further down to gangnam area to explore the galleria which is really too-high end for us.
by 9pm, we were all bushed and decided on the option of taking the reliable option of subway back to hotel than wait for a cab in the cold.
we will be heading out to a ski resort the next day! expected to see snow for this trip but of cos what is a trip without unexpected twists!
more on that later!
