Yeouido~

Alright so the next day we spent our whole day at Yeouido!^^ it's a beautiful place <3

First we had our breakfast at seolnongtang~

look at that queue! and we were quite early that day too but uhwells~

well the food is really tasty but since in Singapore, we don't have the habit of getting heavy breakfast so i was really full by the time i finished it.

looks good?^^ well if you are not someone that like heavy breakfast you would probably wanna share this with someone else. i ordered the one with rice cakes and my friend ordered the one with dumplings. these 2 have really big servings. if you are looking for something lighter i guess you would wanna try the regular ones that just have meat in them~

so after breakfast we headed over to take the subway to yeouido~

here's a map of yeouido~ 

we headed over to yeouido park first. you can get there from either yeouinaru exit 1 or yeouido exit 3~ there are actually some road stalls on the way there so if you are hungry you can grab a bite along the way~

so here's a few picture of the scenery at the park 

i personally like the first one the best^^ it looks like it's a picture that was photoshopped together but it's actually how the park looked like.

so if you are going to korea around start to mid april be sure to drop by this place if you are looking for places that has great cherry blossom scenes.

so after visiting the park we decided to head over to 63 building for lunch. it was a long dreadful walk i swear. hahahah :3 well if you are not someone that enjoy long distance walking i suggest you look for a bus that can take you there. there's a tourist centre near the park so feel free to go ask for directions or at least get a map :3

lunchhhhhh~ at 63 building this was an awesomely big serving of bibimbap <3 the picture doesn't do justice to how great it tasted. and we had knife cut noodles too~ it's another great dish that they have at the foodcourt of 63 building^^

okay some after our lunch it's time for more exercise :3 stupid idea actually because the temperature was about 7 degrees and i only had my hoodie on>< but anyway i wanted to get to seogang bridge which was all the way at the other side of this mini island. that's where the festive stands are and i actually had a hidden agenda for going all the way there.

if you are a kpop fan you will know that there is this tree planet organization that does takes in donation to build a forest for any idols. i'm a cassie and an inspirit~^^

and since tvxq and infinite both have their own forest. i decided to visit their trees! what's more tvxq and infinite trees are just next to each other :3 the forest is near seogang bridge~ if you are a kpop fan that are looking directions to visit tvxq tree forest or infinite's 7 trees you can just take a subway to yeouinaru station and keep walking in the direction of seogang bridge till you see trees with name tag.

you will probably spot snsd trees first before the rest. infinite's trees have lots of goldish yellow ribbons on them while every single tvxq tree has red ribbons tied to them.

so since i'm myungsoo biased and yunho biased imma just gonna post up the 2 of their trees xD i even took selfie with each tree LOL. but uh wells i don't suppose you would wanna see that. anyway here's a funny thing, it's suppose to be spring so the flowers on the trees should be blooming but the ones on infinite trees are all like turning yellow :3 and for tvxq trees, the flowers are red! but look at the difference of amount of flowers on yunho's and changmin's tree....

so this is changmin's tree...you can see quite a few of the flowers isn't it?

and this is yunho's LOL uh yep pathetically xD 

okay maybe i'm the only one that finds it funny :3 i mean given how changmin is always mean to his hyung i find this difference honestly funny. it's as if the trees are teasing yunho too :3

honestly i felt bad for pulling my parents all the way there to look at these trees.. but i donated to plant these trees! so since i'm already in korea why not just go visit it~ 

alright so after this we decided to walk around the festival area. there was this korean male student that approached us wanting to talk to us about their church. it was quite a funny encounter because upon finding out that we were tourist, he started communicating with us in english. and although it wasn't perfect i would give him 100 marks for effort. he even asked us where we were from and after finding out that we were from Singapore, he even said that he wanted to visit the place soon.

so we walked around the festival area and my dad took pictures of the tulips that were blooming. i guess it was the seasons for tulips too because i see it everywhere.

as we were walking down the street the sun was setting. the scene was really beautiful~ 

you can see the tents and lots of people there isn't it. but really it's a great place to be at for cherry blossom season~

anyway we decided to make our way back straight after that because the amount of time we have left for dinner~

but on our way out i spotted the korean student that talked to us before that. he was standing in a group and they were singing. i guess it was their church event? and surprisingly he looked up and recognized me. it shocked me even more when he waved bye and smiled really brightly. 

in all honesty, the students at korea were really much friendlier than the adults. the ajussi and ajumma in Korea can be a little rude sometimes. they push people around a lot more than the uncles and aunties in Singapore does. i was shocked when i first got shoved around in their subway by 2 ajummas just because they wanted a seat. so yep be warned. if you are one of those that have been complaining about being pushed around you might wanna be more conscious of your surroundings in Korea so that you won't get pushed around too much.

so we made our way back to Myeongdong for dinner. we went for Myeongdong Tonkatsu. The food is really great <3 I would reccomend their pork and fish cutlet :3 and for me i think the serving is perfect since they didn't give too much rice. There were 2 kinds of salad dressings too. 1 was peanut sauce and the other one looked like bbq sauce but tasted a little bit too sour than usual bbq sauce for my liking. sorry no pictures again>< i was already starving when i get most of my food so i couldn't bother taking pictures of them :3 

we walked around to shop a bit before heading back to our pension. i remember buying lots of albums and cosmetics :3

there are a few album shops around myeongdong. you can take a look around but if you want to get it at a cheaper price i would recommend the shops that are underground at myeongdong. however if you are looking for limited edition albums, i would suggest you take a look at the shop called 'Music Korea'. From Myeongdong exit 6/7, you walk in and you will see one of the bigger outlets of nature republic. Music Korea is at the 3rd floor of that building. There is a side entrance btw so you wouldn't have to be embarrassed by walking in through the main door while they desperately try to sell their products to you.

That's all for my day 3(although it's actually just day 2 since the day we touch down don't count) :3

Thanks for reading! feel free to comment if you have any questions~^^
