Seoul sensation

since i can no longer take the sleepless nights (try sleeping at 5am for three straight days) and i've never been to the land of jewel in the palace, kimchi and 10 million skincare fanatics, i am tagging along on marlon's business trip to seoul, south korea!


and, i'm going for absolutely free! i booked the ticket using marlon's krisflyer miles. yay.

so far all i know about seoul is all i'm looking forward to: the palaces where they shoot koreanovelas, giganto-mall coex, and beautiful store, a little vintage shop read about on lonely planet where the prices are (if my calculations are correct) almost at pinoy ukay-ukay levels -- truly, thinspiration for the month of may. i hope i also get there in time to catch at least a few cherry blossoms.

any suggestions?

    Shopping!!
    Myeongdong - Street shops galore like HK Central district.
    Dongdaemun - bargain shopping (pero mahal pa rin bec its Korea). Its like a huge 168.
    I wouldn't bother with COEX if u have limited time. Sobrang Mall of Asia.

    Dont forget to try the Soju and authentic Korean BBQ with almost 12 courses. For the life of me I cant remember the restuarant names but I can ask my handy Korean friends for a recommendation, you want?

    Other than that I cant remember much else about Seoul except for Lotteworld...the biggest indoor amusement park in Asia!

    Changsaedo Island :) Never been there, but saw it once in a Koreanovela, Spring Waltz (2006).
    Although it's not in Seoul, but in the beautiful beautiful countryside, comparably like the island of El Nido, Palawan in its unspoiled appeal.
