Dainty Little Fingers: From Seoul, South Korea with Love

Annyeonghaseyo!

Im back! And with a vengeance! How are you guys? It’s been a while (two years!) since Ive posted anything on this blog. But anyways, Im back.

So last June 2015, my friend and I went to Seoul, South Korea to see a bit of the Land of the Morning Calm (my inner fangirl was soooo not calm. Like…At. All.). And yeeeeppp! It was beautiful. It was summer when we visited and boy, it was raining so hard so if you do want to explore Seoul without having to worry about rains, schedule your trip NOT in summer (May to July) because it’s going to rain. A. LOT. Also, rain is a normal thing in the Philippines so guys, try to experience seasons you haven’t experienced before – like, the fall, winter and spring seasons.

So we went there and WE. HAD. A. BLAST. And to be very honest, it’s so much cheaper to be going around Seoul than it is going around in Singapore. Public transportation is so superb (a very far cry….like super far cry from Metro Manila and Cebu’s). okay, just before getting the hang of it really coz we don’t really know anything about the system and communication is a problem. So yes, after lots of hand signals and pointing, a kindly old South Korean woman from San Francisco who was in Seoul helped us. She even told us the best place to exchange our US dollars (It’s in Itaewon coz there are a lot of foreigners there.)

Anyways, we went to a lot of famous tourists sites, ate Korean food (I love the food but they could use a bit more salt. It must be the fermented vegetables coz I’ve heard that they put a lot of salt in them before curing.). I especially liked the Korean samgyupsal, especially the sauce. I don’t know what kind it is, but its spicy and sweet – definitely my alley. We ate, drank, explored the city and its neighboring areas (Hello Nami Island!), shopped so much (will do a separate posts on this one).
