Travel Like Olivia: Korea

Korea Day 3

Settled our breakfast before heading to 63 tower. Had our breakfast at the mall at the train station but I can't remember what's the name of the mall.

These people just can't live without wifi.

At 63 building, there is three visiting point, the sea aquarium, wax museum, and observatory deck. Wanted to go sea aquarium and observatory deck but was told that the observatory deck are close for renovation when we are purchasing our tickets. ( just not our day I guess! ) so we end up going to the sea aquarium only. Tickets are selling at 15000 won for sea aquarium.

Cute little boy is finding the nemo. I'm sure sea aquarium is a fun place for kids.

Sea lion show. Both adult and kids enjoy a lot.

By right we are suppose to head to Lotte world but was told that the entrance fees is cheaper after 4pm. We thought its only about one hour plus of waiting and we might not want to take so many ride so why not just wait for 4pm and meantime we will go shop at the Lotte department store and also have our lunch.

P/s: MCM there is cheaper den Singapore and even Hong Kong.

Had our lunch at the food court.

4pm strike! Queuing up for our after 4pm tickets and realize actually a lot of people also wanting to buy the cheaper tickets. ( maybe they don't really like the rides too )

Cute little baby in front of us.

It's call the after 4 special pass. If you are not a person who get excited in trying all the rides then you can purchase the after 4 pass and just play with a few rides.

Children friendly place! Schools outing to amusement park are so cool!

Actually it's jaslin's birthday wish to go Lotte world and so, her wish came true on her birthday!

I bet u saw this often in kdrama, staircase to the haven shooting venue.

They don't like anything exciting so therefore we decided to take the hot air balloon to tour around Lotte world first. It was so coincidence that it was 5th of April, we got 5 people, it was 5pm with its our turn and we gt the no. 5 hot air balloon!

View from top.

After a round of touring the indoor Lotte, it's time for the outdoor where all the more exciting rides were at.

The happy but timid birthday girl.

Some of the ride outside. Gyro drop is the famous one!

They said that I'm crazy by taking photo while on the ride! Haha! Anyway this is the only "exciting" ride they willing to take. ( lucky I came before last year and had try the famous gyro drop and bungee drop)

P/s: almost all rides are havin long queue even on weekdays so I so not recommend to go on weekends, it will take you forever to take one ride.

After having fun at Lotte world, we took a cab down to one of the happening shopping area, Sinsadong for further shopping.

Saw this huge husky at one of the shop opening party. I love country which are dog friendly!

After some shopping we decided to settle our dinner the The Ha Noo. Han noo means Korean beef so we assume they serve very nice beef.

I don't eat beef so we orded some beef ( for the rest ) and pork ( for me ). They got a lot of variety for beef but only one type of pork. So sad... But the pork was delicious tough. Heard from them that the beef was really nice and tender. Had some soju to warm us up on a cold night too.

Beef lover, do try at this BBQ place if you pass by. Price point is still consider as cheap for such a good and tender beef.

For those who watch 'Gentlemen's Dignity', yes! this is the cafe that appear throughout the whole show.

Anyway dessert time!

It was Jaslin' birthday and Pearlie's advance birthday surprise! Haha. We cut the candle out ourselves because they do not provide candle at the cafe.

Some of the dessert we ordered. Not that bad but of cause the waffle cannot be compared with Beans Bins waffle. Haha.

Ordered a drink that the lead actress of Gentlement dignity always drink in the show. It's some soda lemonade but taste good.

After the dessert, we went to gangnam for some night entertainment. There is a lot of clubbing around here and quite happening at night.

Everywhere has queue so we went to one that's without queue and we found out why isn't there any queue after we went in. Haha. The music there is really bad! There is an entrance fees with one free drinks. Their locker sytem is that they will give you a big bag and if you can fit all the bag in, if not then you will have to "buy" another bag. One bag is 3000won. So try to bring smaller bag so that you can put all your bag into one bag to save the cost.

In Singapore, people tend to stand near the DJ but in this club, they all stand far away the DJ. When we step in, the music was really bad. The DJ are playing some old music and people inside basically are just standing there not dancing. After one drinks and a few song, we decided to leave the club for awhile to see if other club will be better. Other club is still with long queue so we went back to our club and realize the DJ has change to a younger one and the song is all the new song!

We heard that there is a lot of good clubbing place there but I guess it's just not our luck that we went to a lousier one. Haha. Now we know when there is queue, there is a reason.

P/s: Hongdae is also a area with a lot of clubbing place. It's at the university area so I assume the people there will be more young and fun. We shall try there the next time.
