Korea Chronicle: Myeongdong
Day 8 (3rd day DIY Seoul Tour)
Myeongdong
Seoul, Korea
A few days before, I was disappointed when we visited Dongdaemun with our tour group as part of our itinerary. It is much like an open air market place. The place is huge, there is one area that sold meat, an alley that sold cameras and another that sold dry goods. During winter, you can't possibly stay outdoors long enough without getting chills. Needless to say, during our DIY tour, we never went back ; p We choose to visit Myeongdong instead.

Myeongdong is big too. Sure, some wares are also peddled on the streets but at least here, you can go inside a department store or in my case beauty stores whenever I felt shivers because of the cold.

Korea Chronicle: Lotte World Korea
Day 7 (2nd day DIY Seoul Tour)
Lotte World
40-1, Songpa- Ku Chamshil- dong,
Seoul, Korea

Weekday: 9:30am to 7:30pm
Weekend: 9:30am to 8:30pm
We were already in Lotte World around 11:30am but decided to wait until it was 4pm before buying a ticket. The After4 Special Pass entrance fee is cheaper-
There were ticket booths/ticket vending machines located on all 4 levels. It was not even weekend- it's Thursday but the line was really long when we got there. We saw a lot of tourists flocked near the entrance and also visitors in their teens plus families with kids in tow. We assumed that the waiting time for rides is going to be longer in the morning than in the afternoon.

While waiting, we had lunch at Lotteria. It's like Korea's version of McDonald's. We spent like

Korea Chronicle: Ramada Seoul
My visit: December 28, 2011 to January 1, 2012
112-5 Samseong-dong
Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea
02-62022000
Located an hour's drive from Incheon airport, Ramada Seoul is 40 minutes away from Kimpo Airport and 20 minutes from down town by car. Approximately, 10 minutes walk from Seolleung Station Subway Line 7.
Executive Room for $195
We were not as lucky as with our other trips abroad, most of the rooms we got have either twin or double bed. I am very picky with the size of bed I sleep in because I can hardly sleep without anyone by my side.
