South Korea Trip - Seoul - Day 3

Route: Busan > (bullet train, ~2.5 hours) >Seoul >Changing of the Royal Guards@Geoksugong > Cheonggyecheon stream > Insadong-market

KTX Busan Station building. We are going to Seoul from Busan.

Collect out train ticket which already purchased online.

These are our round trip tickets. Expensive! Bullet train what.

Train service crews at behind welcoming the guests (passenger). Their job is similar as stewardess.

Interior of the train. Looks like not much different with 'normal train'. A bit disappointed.

Let's take a pic :)

I thought this train is directed go to our destination. Oh, it is not.
Station 1: Ulsan

Station 2: Dongdae

Station 3: Gimcheon
Station 4: Gwangmyeong. The last 2 destination before Seoul. This is also 2nd most peoples drop off. Of cause, Seoul is the 1st most people's destination.

We stopped by to have a lunch while we on the way walk to the guesthouse. Opps, I wrote wrongly in the photo. This is just a normal fried rice which stated "like" in their menu. For me, taste is light and the rice is too watery.

Alfonso order spicy beef soup with rice. He likes it but the taste is not strong enough if compare to Penang's Daore Korean restaurant :p

I think we will come and visit this restaurant again due to fast and reasonable price :)

Walk future more ~80 meter, our guesthouse is there! New Sun Guesthouse. About this guesthouse, I think their facility is good: common lounge, shared kitchen, laundry (self-service), and desktop with internet provided. The drawback is the room condition that we got is suck! 
1. Room at ground floor, no window ( good thing is we do not need to carry our luggage to up stair since there is no lift available.
2. Wet mud smell since the air circulation is not good.
3. Condition of the toilet looks old but clean.
4. The floor under one of the bed's leg is broken.
Will I come again? Definitely NO!

OK... don't keep complain again. Let continue my journey :)

Destination 1: 
Changing of the Royal Guards@Geoksugong. To read more, click here.

This is the street view in front of the Geoksugong.

Destination 2: 
Cheonggyecheon stream. To read more, click here.

After visited Cheonggyecheon stream. We decided to walk to the Insadong instead of taking metro train since it is just 1 station away. We passed by 1 building which look like temple but inside is nothing, seems like a common hall.

Further more, we saw this unique building. Base on the design, can see that it is not easy to build such kind of shape. A lot of calculation needed.

Opps, my uploaded photo not in proper rotation. This is the map can be found at metro train station. After saw this, we only decided to walk from the stream to insadong.

We just heading to the place which most people is walking to. Luckily, we follow correctly :) This is the 'landmark' of Insa-dong market. To read more, please click here.

This is the only 1 snack that we tried from Insa-dong market. Grilled cutter fish or squid? Hmm... not sure. Taste is good... chew chew chew... exercise your mouth and face. 3000 won each.

Our early dinner in Insa-dong (~5-6pm). A lot of people... this is why we choose this restaurant :p

Bibimbap with small octupus... ordered by Alfonso. 7000 won. The taste is not that impressive.

Bean curd soup with rice. 6000 won.  Small portion. The taste is more attracting than Alfonso's bibimbap :p
After dinner, what we do? Hmm... going back to guesthouse and take rest.

There have few fried chicken restaurants around our guesthouse. On the first day that we have arrived, we walked by one of the restaurant and felt like want to have a try after watched the Korean drama - My love from the star - fried chicken + beer. :) We ordered original crispy fried chicken.

Are you ready??? He so happy.

Let's yam seng first :p

Very crispy... you even can't see the fat under the skin. Surprisingly, the chicken is very very very NICE! Thumb up uP UP!!!

This restaurant quite full occupied by people.

This restaurant is just closed to Hoehyeon Station - Exit 1. Sure I will come visit again!

End with our Day 3 :)

  1. Assalamualaikum
    senang sekali saya bisa menulis kisah nyata kami
    dan berbagi kepada teman-teman disini.

    Meski hidup dalam keprihatinan, karena hanya mengandalkan penghasilan dari jual gorengan, namun rumah tangga kami terbilang harmonis. Jika berselisih paham, kami selalu menempuh jalan musyawarah. Hal itu wajib kami terapkan untuk menutupi aib dan segala bentuk kekurangan yang ada dalam rumah tangga kami agar tidak terdengar oleh orang luar. Karena begitulah pesan dari para orang tua kami.

    Hari demi hari aku habiskan hanya untuk bekerja dan bekerja. Hal itu aku lakukan, selain sadar akan tanggung jawabku sebagai orang tua , juga ingin menggapai harapan dan cita cita. Yah, mungkin dengan begitu ekonomi keluargaku dapat berubah dan aku bisa menyisihkan sedikit uang penghasilanku itu untuk masa depan anak-anakku dikemudian hari. Namun semua itu menjadi sirna.

    Selanjutnya kami pun melangkah untuk mencobanya minta bantuan melalui dana gaib tanpa tumbal,alhamdulillah dalam proses 1 hari 1 malam kami bisa menbuktikan.

    Jalan ini akan mengubah kemiskinan menjadi limpahan kekayaan secara halal dan tidak merugikan orang lain.

    Alhamdulillah semoga atas bantuan ki witjaksono terbalaskan melebihi rasa syukur kami,
    saat ini karna bantuan aki sangat berarti bagi keluarga kami.
    Bagi saudara-saudaraku yg butuh pertolongan silahkan
