It was a week long trip to S.Korea for work. I took a midnight flight and arrived very early in the morning. The weather was chilly and nice. I was craving for some hot spicy tofu soup (sundubu jjigae).
After arriving at the hotel Kintex by K-Tree, I walked over the Hyundai shopping mall and One Mount for lunch. There was a waterpark in the mall. I was wondering who would enjoy a waterpark in such a cold weather. I started to miss my two little ones.
Every day after the exhibition, I will walk to nearby neighbourhood and explore some of the hidden restaurants. I had army stew, cold noodle, clam soup, pancakes and one of my new found favourite cockle bibimbap (Kkomakbibimbap). I am not a usual fan of cockles, but this is different. It tastes chewy, spicy and sweet. I had confused them for clams until a friend highlighted that they weren't.
I didn't manage to go out often at night for shopping. The weather was around ~4 degC, I didn't want to get myself sick because I still have to travel to KL the next week. I mostly stayed in to finish some tasks and enjoyed a good face & foot mask. I bought a whole lot of daily vitamins too.
On one of the nights, Korean friends invited me for a cup of coffee while we chatted about life. One of the friends had family in the US and he'd been working hard to provide for his family from Korea. This is like a story from a Korean drama; a father sacrificed for his family. I am very thankful I always had my family with me all the time.
I love to take a stroll in the evening ; saw some cute children in thick clothes.
On the last day, I had a chance to walk around the Goyang neighbourhood. The weather started to warm up and the sun was bright. I managed to grab some last minute facial products.
At the airport, I loved shopping in Terminal 2 compared to Terminal 1 of Incheon Airport. There seems to be countless of shops. I bought quite a lot (of Lactofit and Masks) and almost couldn't fit into 2 bags.
It was a good trip.
