I think that pretty much summed up Day 2.. Can I just say I think I controlled well already haha I did not buy too many toys / skincare!! Ok we had soju again that evening with supper again oooops. 

DAY 3 - SHOPPING AND MEETING MICH

Less pictures on this day!! The plan was to do some shopping at the Express Bus Terminal station haha so the loots were more important.

We got some food first this time around!! HAHA we had our first meal at 4pm on Day 2 so we figured maybe eating first would be better. Had brunch at Ediya Coffee and to grab some drinks~

Left pretty late (since we usually leave our apt at around noon so we had brunch) but managed to shop for about 3h before heading back! Didn't cover all shops but this time I chose to get clothes that are more SG weather friendly, i.e., short sleeved ones and not so thick knits!! Ok i bought pants thinking I may be able to wear but GUESS WHAT.. Sis here did not lose that much weight so can't fit them 😂

Headed back with some snacks while we unpacked - intended to meet Mich for coffee in the evening cause we don't have much time here.. were planning to go some cafes near our area but ended up deciding to go Namsam area with HJ driving us!! No regrets tho, place is really pretty and apparently at 8pm they will shut out all lights for us to enjoy the view!!! Leaving some pics here hehe:

They managed to drop us off at Ewha before calling it a day for them, so we changed our plans and visited Hongdae instead for v late dinner at around 10pm KST? HAHA. First and last kbbq this trip, since Tze doesn't really like pork and it's also a good chance to try other foods!

Walked around the area and did some shopping! Also a bit cray at night cause Fridays mean there will be people going to clubs and for drinks!! But all's good, only issue we had was trying to get back because there is no train left for us to take. We almost cabbed, but the cab uncle insisted on a KRW 30,000 surcharge (when the actual ride was about KRW 15,000?!?!). So in the end we decided to just take public buses that run till quite late + some time to slowly walk back. Quite an interesting ride though, bus was v v v packed (thank goodness we were near the alighting area) and cause the bus driver cannot really see who is alighting and there were times when the door were closing in when people were still alighting. There were a couple of Singaporeans who were on the ride and experienced that at.. 1am haha. But yup we managed to walk back safely! 

DAY 4: LOTTE MART / RICE CAKE MAKING

One of our craziest shopping day in Seoul. Visited one of the cafes (Sector Cafe Roasters) that Mich initially recommended at our area and I think we were fairly early cause we were the first few customers! Lighting was great and so were the desserts and drinks, we ended up taking quite a lot of nice photos hehe:

But ok relatively packed day because we booked a workshop at 4pm KST so will be rushed for time if we start late 😅 But yes I think we went a little too cray at Seoul Lotte Mart, I mean from IGS can tell that we overbought for 2 pax and the bill was close to KRW 250,000,000 after tax refund. But the downside was.. we did not bring luggage cause we initially thought we would not overbuy but guess what 1x big green Lotte Mart bag was not sufficient haha. We had two other reusable bags to fill up the stuff... 

And we kinda lost our way to the right train station (basically walked in big circles with extra heavy bags) so we can only head straight to the place oops. Think it was the only day when we felt frustrated hahahaha

That said we made in time for the session! Was ok, quite expensive though and in the end we did not manage to finish the tteoks even up till the end of our trip HAHA.. Lucky we did not sign up for the soy cream piping one, cannot imagine having two full cakes to finish before Jeju... but the end products were really nice :)
