These past two days I've been busy with following up some post GE13 news, therefore not able to update my blog post... There are many upcoming posts for this Korea trip to be updated... Gotta speed it up!
Let me resume to update Day 2 my Korea trip post for the last part now... After we visited the rich people residential area - Gahoe Buchon Hanok Village 北村韩屋村, the sky was getting dark. Therefore we proceeded to the next stop - Dongdaemun 东大门. We went to Dongdaemun 东大门 to shop at N.P.H (Nam Pyeonghwa) Bags Wholesale Market. However, we reached there at the wrong time. The business hour of this wholesale market is from 3:30 am till 4 pm.

After done shopping at Dongdaemun 东大门. We took metro to Hyehwa 惠化 station which nearby some universities, initially I thought my friend told me there are some roadside stalls that sells cheap fashion accessories. After we asked the metro station staffs and verified again from my friend, I realised that I'd mistaken. Hence, we wasted some time and one metro station fare to reach here :( (We cancelled our initial itinerary plan to Hyehwa 惠化 for visiting Daehangno/Naksan Park 惠化大学路/骆山公园, due to long distance and we were tired...)
Then, we took metro train back to Dongdaemun 东大门 station. After shopping at some malls nearby Dongdaemun 东大门, we were hungry and cold, so we tried to look for restaurants for dinner. However, the Korean restaurants we wanted to enter was full house. Therefore, we went to the Doota Shopping Mall to have our dinner. We had our dinner at the food court which located at the 8th floor of the Doota Shopping Mall. I recalled that I accidentally ate a chili which looked like long green bean in the soup! By the time I ate it, I couldn't control my tears from rolling down from my eyes! :P I drank a lot water still cannot reduce the spiciness on my tongue :S (Luckily I can get free refillable water at the food court!) Bad experience...

After dinner, we strolled along the stream under Ogansugyo Bridge while on the way to Dongdaemun History and Culture Park 东大门历史站. Due to one of my friend was having a sudden pain on the backbone, therefore we only able to walk part of the Dongdaemun History and Culture Park 东大门历史站. Then, we took the metro and back to Myeongdong 明洞 street. Since we reached Myeongdong not too late around 10 pm, we had some time to walk and shop in some shops on the street. (In the previous day, we didn't have the chance to shop at Myeongdong 明洞 street at night although our guest house just few minutes walk distance... This is because by the time we reached Myeongdong 明洞 street, the night market and shops were preparing to close...)

| We crossed over the stream by stepping on the stones! But, we didn't continue our journey to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park 东大门历史站 (due to the walking distance is too long...) |

| I feel it's quite romantic for couples to stroll along the stream at night :) |
