Part 2 of places that I've been to in Korea~
Went to a few famous drama shooting locations while I was in Korea. First up was Coffee Prince, where they shot erm...Coffee Prince. There are 2 Coffee Prince outlets in Seoul because of some dispute between the coffeeshop and MBC but I went to both anyway. This is the second shop where they have scripts from the show. Ordered a green tea latte there and it was delicious, albeit a little pricey. Then again, everything's pricey in Seoul.
At the first Coffee Prince shop, which was the actual shooting location for the drama. The second storey was closed to public and there were some construction works going on around the shop so it looked kinda old and shabby. Drinks-wise, there were lesser choices as compared to the second shop and they were so expensive! The coffee wasnt even that nice to justify the price.
Next up was this jazz bar called "Once in a Blue Moon" located in Apgujeong. This place's famous because it appeared in one of the scenes of "My Name is Kim Sam Soon". Tried to dress up to go there but all I had was a pink dress, pink earings and pink (bitchy) shoes so I looked like a total pink-wannabe that day.
Prices for drinks at the bar were so expensive for us...no wonder it's called Once in a Blue Moon...cause it's too expensive to go there frequently...wtf.
Also went to DBSK's Mickey Yoochun's mother's gelato shop, TimeOut. Ordered dark chocolate + Tim Tam ice-cream and it was helluva good! I think that the ice-cream cost 4500won but at least it was delicious!
On the topic of ice-cream, Red Mango has like the best yoghurt ice-cream that I've ever had! We didnt even need to put toppings on the ice-cream!...Okay, I was too cheapo to pay for toppings but at least the yoghurt ice-cream was smooth and yummy!
Went for coffee at this place called "Twosome Place". Didnt order anything but just sat there and talked. :D They had this really bling tumbler that I really wanted to buy but it cost like freaking 20,000won so I had to control my urge to buy it.
Ate at TGIF for the first time in my life in Korea~! The set was surprisingly cheap at 17,000won(excluding taxes) for starters, a large main course, drink and dessert.
My class held a farewell party for me at Mr Pizza and we had so much food till I almost burst. The food's really good but I didnt like the stupid rule where 4 people had to share a salad bowl. They refused to give us an extra bowl even when I told them that my Muslim friend couldnt eat pork so we wanted to use different bowls. In the end, I managed to get an extra bowl by being extremely insistent and well, irritating but hey, that's how you get stuff done!
One thing I dislike about Korea's restaurants is the sharing of bowls/cups part. We went to this restaurant once and they gave us 2 mugs of water to share amongst 8 people. Their reason was because since people are going to order beer, the number of mugs will increase if they gave everyone a mug of water...wtf?! Dont be so stingy can or not?! What happens if nobody wants to order beer? I think that they're just lazy and do not want to wash more dishes...
Went to 63 Building and tried to do my best impersonation of Marilyn Monroe!...FAIL!!!
The people who went to 63 Building with me~
Shopping at COEX mall is really bad for the wallet because there's just so much stuff to buy! I dont know how much we spent in just 2 hours...
ABC Mart in Korea was freaking cheap because the Summer Sale was going on and everyone bought at least two pairs of shoes while we were there. We were trying to compare our heights in this picture by the way~ :D
Took purikura at Ilsan and the machine was so fucking old. Could only take like the upper half of the body lor! Then again, it was kinda cool because we could use the costumes they had there for free...although, what's the use of the costumes if you cant even see it in the photos?!
