Seoul + Busan 14th March - 21st March - Day 1

Day 1:
Arrived Seoul at 3pm (Korea time), wanted to take the express train but we miss the timing so we took their normal train called Korail to Seoul Station - around 1hr and 15mins
Lotte Department Store - MCM Bag
Dinner

My planned itinerary didn't work out. We are lost when we are trying to find our hotel after alighting at Seoul Station. My friend aunt said tripadvisor advised not to take the exit 7 due to the stinky smell of the homeless sleeping there so we went to tried another exit but end up lost! Thankfully for a kind soul who lead us back to our hotel but the way there was very tedious! Lugging our heavy luggage up the flights of stairs plus my little tods and the cold weather. It was so bad and Lotte Department store closed at 8pm! Rolling Eyes After checking in we went back to Seoul Station to filled our hungry stomach since the place we wanted to go has closed. We just hop into a random restaurant below the station and went to Lotte Mart to shop for some groceries. 

PS: Don't just copy people photo without asking, this will only prove how cheapskate you are!!!

Airport train to Seoul Station




Dumplings & Rice Cake Soup is very nice!
The meat selling in Lotte Mart is so fresh!

Our Corner Suite room at Hotel Manu

We actually found a shorter and easier way to the hotel.
1. Exit Hoeyeon Station, exit 5
2. You should see an optical and pet shop in front of you when you exit 5 (namdaemun market)
3. When you see the main road on your left next to the local food store, turn right
4. Walk along that stretch where you should see a market store on your right and accessories shop as you go
5. You should pass by a overhead bridge and 'Seven Luck Casino' should be on your left

6. In total is only about 10mins walk from Namdaemun Market
