Picturesqueness: South Korea 둘

C o m m u t e   b y   T r a i n

Going around Seoul by train using a T-money card is quite a convenience
except for the long walks transferring from one line to the other :)

Here's a peek 

G o l d e n   P o n d   G u e s t h o u s e

It's near a shopping district and has all the basic necessity that we need
SUPER!!

Like I said before, if you've seen one it's lke you've seen them all
The grandest palace I saw in Seoul

We were able to witness the Royal Changing of Guards, a performance made by
volunteers (I think) at the main gate

C h a n g d e o k g u n g   P a l a c e

A pretty nice palace near Anguk area
We were so tired at this point of the day that we only managed to go around the
front side of the palace.  We hanged around a coffee shop inside the vicinity
and waited for our companions.

A shopping district that offers a lot of local products
I spent a lot of change buying a variety of street food
Did I mention it's also Turny Burny (my ugly doll) home town

A very huge mall

Bomber planes, helicopter, tanks, rocket launchers and such
The place was amazing
Thank you Tita for bringing us here at Itaewon; and for dinner!

This is probably the burger king franchise where the homicide occurred
I'm saying probably because I'm not really sure, but it's the only BK that I saw at Itaewon
I saw the movie that is why I wanted to see the location, thanks Tita for bringing us here

We had trouble finding the place.
A Korean drama setting for 'Coffee Prince'

Overpriced coffee and yummy cheese cakes
If you saw the "Coffee prince" drama you'll understand why we tolerated the price

Lucky enough we caught a performance at the park
Hmm... but I didn't post a picture of it, hahahaha, oh well

Saw a great number of Catholics, I didn't imagine the church was that big, 
then again it's called a cathedral. How stupid of me.

It's just near our place, see the smiles of our respective significant other?
 See Rene's gesture; wanting to slice that sweet kitty cake. :))

The Teddy Bear Museum is also located here, guess what?, we ignored it.

Locks, more locks and whatever you want to leave on the wall
