Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Seoul March 2015

Dongdaemun Design Plaza or simply DDP, is a huge modern plaza connected to several buildings which consists of museums, conference hall, shops, cafe etc.

This wasn't actually part of our itinerary but one night while on our way home, we noticed how cool the structure was and the lights accompanying it so we decided to come back the next day hihi

We just took pictures outside coz it was still early when we went.

All of the exhibition halls/museums were not yet open =/

Oh well, next time!

Not sure if you could imagine how big it is but it's really gigantic! LOL

There's also a hop on/hop off bus stop here! Perfect*

*Of course* I had to camwhore in this area lol

my LOOKBOOK shots haha =P

Petite France, Korea March 2015

After Nami Island, we went straight to Petite France.

Petite France is popular for the film location of some Korean dramas like Secret Garden and My Love from the Star.

You can take the Gapyeong Bus Tour (same bus going to Nami) to get here.

If you still have time, you could also include The Garden of Morning Calm on your itinerary after this ;)

What Petite France looks like from outside!

As soon as you go inside, you'd feel like you've been transported to some French cultural village!

Makes you think if you're still in Korea! lol

Look at all those pastel colored buildings..

Sooo beautiful ❤ 

Yea, I had to take a pic of it in every angle bwahaha =P

The area is quite big, you could go up these stairs which leads to some exhibition halls.

Even the interiors is so pretty!

Every corner is just picturesque ❤ 

Art exhibit

The Little Prince memorabilia.

The concept of Petite France is actually derived from  the Little Prince.

 view from the tower

so many dining options!

but we settled for some odeng(fish cake soup) and waffles.

I know, odd combo hihi

eating with this view <3

i think this would be so pretty at night!

Outdoor theater where they hold the puppet performance.

Petite France's very own Eiffel <3

Nami Island, Korea March 2015

If you ask me, no "Korea trip" is complete without going to Nami Island.

How to get to Nami:

~The most convenient way is to use the shuttle bus that goes directly to Nami from Insadong or Namdaemun. It leaves at 9:30 am and departs from Nami at 4 pm.

 One-way and round trip tickets are available but reservation is required.

~Another way is by taking a subway from Seoul. 

It takes an hour to get to Gapyeong station, which is the nearest station to Nami.

 After that, you need to ride the bus or take a taxi from Gapyeong to the port.

The bus schedule is every 2 hours and it starts at 9am ;)

Make sure to start early and allot a whole day so you can make the most out of your visit!

Namiseom or Naminara Republic is considered a micronation.

Hence, you need to go through an immigration area and get your visa upon purchasing your ticket.

Admission fee is 8,000 won for foreigners so don't forget to bring your id/passport!

We arrived around 12 noon already and it was crowded!

So many group tours come here so again, I highly recommend you

come here early!!!

A lot of trees are scattered all over the island and these pine trees are the first ones you'll see.

This is one of the popular spots to take your picture so expect many people photobombing you lol

There's so many things to see here including this ostrich farm lol =P

Can I have you for thanksgiving?! chos!

Yeoncheon Jeongok-ri Site

- a world renowned pleistocene hominid's habitat

And of course, some Winter Sonata "areas"

the spot where they had their first kiss =P

pictorial muna lol

There's also a lot of exhibits around here!

Some activities you could do are biking, zipline, sky bike etc.

There's also a hotel/lodging available if you want to stay overnight ;)

Another popular spot for photo-ops is this Metasequoia lane.

They began planting these in 1977! WOW

*ehem*

ahhh perfect!

Yes, Yoo-jin and Jun-sang are everywhere!

There's no escape!!! LOL

suddenly, a cute squirrel shows up

It's quite tiring to stroll around Nami so make sure to try out some of the food available like this steamed bread with red bean filling!

Mum and I settled for a sausage nyahahaha =P
