Beautiful Spring in South Korea - The Garden of Morning Calm & Myeongdong Night Market (Day 7, 10 Apr 2013)

After we visited Le Petite France 小法国村, we took the bus to The Garden of Morning Calm 晨静树木园. This was the last stop that we visited that day. We met a Taiwanese couple on the bus, they were also heading to the same destination as us. (I remembered that the Taiwanese guy can speak the Korean language fluently with the bus driver!!)

It took about 1 hour to reach The Garden of Morning Calm 晨静树木园 from Le Petite France 小法国村. I slept again on the bus during the journey when suddenly I heard the Taiwanese guy tell his girlfriend that we reached the destination, then only I started to wake up :P The Garden of Morning Calm 晨静树木园 is a botanical garden which also was the filming scene of the famous Korean drama - 'You're Beautiful' 原来是美男啊. I like this drama too, very funny and romantic :)

By the time we reached there, it was drizzling and the weather was very cold... Actually, we already reached the ticket counter, but due to the rain, we decided to give up on visiting this place. But I saw the Taiwanese couple still went to visit the flower garden... So, we went back to the bus stop to wait for the bus to go back to the metro station. However, I think we missed the bus, the next bus arrived an hour later. We got no choice, then we ate some light food that was sold at the shops nearby while waiting for the bus. Luckily, we can shelter at the bus stop which can avoid the strong and cold wind...

After 1 hour, we finally took the bus and enjoyed the warm heater on the bus... By the time we were sitting comfortably on the bus, the Taiwanese couple had done their visit to The Garden of Morning Calm 晨静树木园 and took the same bus with us too...

I like this plant, the flowers are so little and cute

While waiting for the bus to arrive, we ate some snack food at the shop nearby

Fried sausage bun wrapped with crispy French fries (the tomato sauce was a bit too much :P)

Spotted snowflake for a short while :)

After around 1 hour, we reached the metro station to go back to Myeongdong. (I woke up to the voice of the Taiwanese guy when he spoke to his gf again when we reached!!)

At night, we spent our own sweet time shopping around Myeongdong 明洞 street. It was the last night chance for us to shop there. So, we spent a lot of money during this short period of shopping time here!! I bought a lot of skincare products this night, I think I can slowly use these skincare products for a few more years... Haha :P
