Seoul, South Korea Trip 2016 Warning Long post.

Hello, Guys So I Went to Seoul Two Months Ago for a week. This was my first time out of the country. It was very life changing eye opening experience I wanted to go to Korea for a very long time and was suppose to go 2-3 years ago but couldn't. it was also a very bittersweet moment for me as I lost contact with a person I was going to see years ago. My Flight was an early morning Flight which I prefer because there's not as much traffic going through TSA. I went From SFO to SEA then from there to ICN the flight was long  but watching The Regular Show, Adventure Time and Minions helped pass the time. When I arrived my Friend Ryan met me at the Airport which I was surprised and excited about because I wasn't expecting him to meet me there. We went to Seoul via the subway which can be a beautiful scene on its own. we took that to the Seoul Station and went Shopping at Lotte Mart I got a 2 pack Aloe Vera Gel from Missha and an eyeshadow palette from their line collab. we then took the bus to Itaewon where my Airbnb accommodations were I highly recommend Judy and Peter although I didn't stay long and ended up moving in with Ryan and his family. Speaking of Which Ryan and I had Chicken and Beer the first night I arrived. The First full day in Seoul I went to Myeongdong which was packed I didn't leave the apartment until the afternoon and became completely lost in Itaewon trying to find the Subway Station. Myeongdong was packed and lucky I decided to wear my really cute Skirt and a cute Crop Top that day. Myeongdong was packed with people as to be expected. the first shop I went too was Banila Co and brought the highly raved about Zero Makeup Remover. From there I went to smaller shops and brought socks and trinkets. I made a stop to Tony Moly, Etdue House, Lush, Nature Republic and other stores. After about a few hours in Myeongdong I went home only to get lost on the bus. 😅  The Second Day I moved in with my friends family and had breakfast with them then off to Hongdae for me. I walked around Hongdae and met up with a group of other Foreigners and sat and talked at this boba tea cafe from there i said goodbye to my new pals and went to Gangnam where I met up with Ryan I looked around the Gangnam station theres a huge shop there and i mean huge. I got something to Drink at Burger King and tried to look for the SM Town Aritum at Coex mall but didn't realize it was a station or two after Gangnam Station. when I finally met up with Ryan we went to the Aritum and looked around. I completely fangirled as I looked around at the different display. I ended up getting an F(x) picture post card. After we looked around and found the Kakaotalk store sadly i didn't buy anything. We finally left and went to The Han River where we walked around and talked. We finally stopped to get something to eat at Lotteria so good. The Third Day Ryan and I went to Gyeongbokgung Palace but before we went there we stopped at a book store and i brought a Magazine HyunA was on the cover. after we went inside the palace and it was beautiful and there was a pond near by where we sat and talked. From there we walked to Insadong to grab something to eat. I had a huge bowl of Bibimbap which was so good but way too much for me to eat alone. After we looked around and went to Cheonggyecheon Stream where we walked around and I got stopped by a chinese lady who wanted to take a picture with me lol.  Later we went back to Itaewon to get blue lemonade from standing coffee which was so good the taste remind me of those sour candy warhead we then went to the Kitten Cafe in Myeongdong to play with the Cats who were practically sleeping. lol The 4th day I went to the Bau House which was so adorable as the puppies would sit right next to you and let you rub their bellies. from there i went to Dongdaemun market and ate  빈대떡(Bindaetteok) which is a Korean style pancake. we then went to the shopping mall and looked around we then went home. My Last full day I went back to Insadong to try on a Hanbok which I was hesitant about since I'm not Korean but my friend said i should do it so i did. We met up with his parents and went to a Buddhist Temple from there we went to a another place in Insadong to eat some Bulgogi. We then went to Seoul Tower and took a lot of pictures after we went to The Han River to watch the light show after went Lotte Mart and Burger King he also wished me a Happy Birthday sinces i celebrated it in Korea. we eventually went home. My last night and morning was bittersweet as i had became attached to his family but i was going to see my family. i held back tears telling them goodbye and then hugging Ryan goodbye at the airport. i miss Korea and i can't wait to go back. Heading home i did go over Japan and it was beautiful to see the lights below i can't wait to go to Japan and actually be able to Land and walk around. The flight back home was long and i didn't make it home until like 11 because of a delay getting to SFO but i was glad to see my family was happy to see me and missed me. Well i have to get ready for work soon i'll post pictures either tomorrow or after work tonight until then see you soon.
