Trip in South Korea (next) :

9th Day (16th august 2012) :

My little sister and I decided after a good breakfast to go to do some shopping for our school furnitures. We asked the hotel service where we could find those things and they told us to go to the E-Mart at  Shinseoldong station (신설동). We went to the right metro station but got lost of course ^^ as usual and we went to french baguette to ask them but finally a nice men with his child told us that we were really far from there and explained us the way to find it.
On our way we found the Jonchigyogak (존치교각)  is the rest of 3 pillars on the Cheonggyecheon river (청계천). It's the symbol of industrialisation of South Korea :) we were finally happy to got lost because we got to discover another monument of Seoul !

 2 funky towers

 Me on the way to the E-Mart and in  the background at the top right hand corner there is the building where the E-Mart is :)

The 3 famous pillars called :존치교각 of the 청계천 river.

When we finally arrived it was huge and at the 1st floor there was all the food and clothes supplies and then at the 1st basement there were the home, school, and beauty supplies :)
So we bought, not that much but some still. I bought a weekly diary, a set of 3 stick erasers, a set of 3 erasers, some pencils, 5 noteboks and other stuffs that I don't remember ^^
Then after doing this shopping we went to a French Baguette again but not for the same reasons. We wanted to eat a little bit because it was like 12 or 1 pm and wanted to refresh our selves because Seoul is really hot in this season ! So we drank some ice coffee.

Then we decided to go buy the last and really last stuffs that we wanted to buy and we had to back to our hotel to pack our things. So we went to back to Dongdaemun 동대문 (where our hotel was) and went to the malls. Like Doota!, Migliore, Apm etc...

Me in front of Doota!

Then we went to cafe bene (jang geunsuk did the ad of this coffee shop) to wright our last postal cards and enjoy our last moments in Seoul and drink our last delicious coffee in Seoul. It was really delicious but with a little bit of sadness too because I knew I had to leave the next day...

Then we packed all of our stuffs in our luggages and they were like sooo full even tough they were sooooo big !

And at 7pm we were in Hongdae (홍대) to go to see the B-Boy show (don't know if you remember but I received 2 free tickets to come back and see their show for free ^^) and they are really amazing so I highly recommend to go to see them. They are The Gorilla Crew and their show is called Khung 쿵.

Then when the show was over we decided to stay in Hongdae and to walk through it to see Seoul night life :)

And we finally got back at our hotel late at night to wake up early the next day...

Last Day (17th August 2012) :

I'm doing the 2 last day on the same post because this one is really short.

We woke up early and the hotel had reserved for us a taxi cab. We left and as we were going to the airport I felt really empty to leave this awesome city and promised to myself to come back for my studies ! I only wanted to cry during the whole trip. We crossed the Han river and 2 hours later arrived at the airport and took our plane. But in the duty free I also bought some korean magazines to have something to read in korean in the plane. We left Seoul and the only thing I did was ... I know it might sound childish and ridiculous but ... I couldn't hold my tears anymore. So I only cried.

We went back in Paris really tired and this is where this trip segment ends. So I hope you liked it as much as I enjoyed my holidays there.

Bye guys~~! Minhjeong <3
