6 Simple but Memorable Things to Love from A First Visit to Seoul
The view we got from passing the highway from Incheon airport to Gangnam-gu that felt like an hour ride to the dreamland. I mean, look at those misty air and mysterious trees!
1. The fact that Seoul is one huge, beautiful metropolitan city surrounded by mountainous landscape.
The main road at Gaeposa-dong, Gangnam-Gu.
2. Eating Korean BBQ for dinner three days in a row, and realized, in Seoul, they tasted MUCH BETTER.
The Maple Tree BBQ at Itaewon, truly recommended.
3. This retro-looking car in front of Karl Lagerfeld's pop up store at Garosugil, and those two LINE character balloons.
Can we focus on how tiny the wheels are? And the fact that it's a convertible car?
4. Learning about the fast-changing city landscape in Seoul, including this captivating Prugio Valley building designed by the Unsangdong Architects.
5. Finding my favorite pair of Airmax 90s being put on sale for 50% and there was only one size left: MY SIZE. This Nike store at Itaewon main street were instantly won my heart.
Obligatory mirror-selfie for my Insta-story.
6. Putting up a restless conversation every single time we want to ride a cab because the driver can't understand simple Google Maps (and will eventually ask to phone-call the destination for direction).
