11. Get a copy of MAPS & COUPONS magazine or, call it brochure from tourist information centre. That was the best zoom in map covering all the areas that you can visit around Seoul. The best! yet, it is free. I lost mine. It cost me another trip to Itaewon station tourist Info centre just to get it back. Imagine how good it is that I was willing to go back and took 2 or 3 trains just to go back there.
12. Friends told me Insadong is the best place for souvenir searching. Regardless of how close that place to YIMs House, I didnt get a chance to visit there during shop-open hour.
13. If you go to Namdaemun market, make sure to stop at different shops before you decide to buy anything. Even if the shops located next to each other, you would get a different price, it can go twice or more higher than the other shop! trust me!
14. Dongdaemun is a place where you can buy cheap clothes. The 'I Love Seoul' low-quality t-shirt would cost you KRW 10,000 per pieces at Namdaemun market but you can get 3 pieces with a higher quality at the price of KRW 10,000 at Dongdaemun. But, you need to have a good eyes as there were not many shop selling that T-shirt. I only find one shop ok!
15. My checklist included Itaewon for halal food, Jamsil for Lotte World & Seokchon lake, Samseong for COEX mall esp the aquarium, Myeongdong for modern Seoul, SuJu and make-up lovers especially Jang Geun Suk, Insadong for history lovers, Yeuido station for picnic at Hangang river & the 63 building. Hoeyeon station for Namdaemun and Hanok Village, Myeongdong also for N Seoul Tower, Dongdaemun.. I missed Yongsan electronic market. Sobs :(
16. N Seoul Tower is a not-to-miss and a must go location. Bring your love one, trust me you would know how it feels if you go up there together ;p. It would cost KRW 7,500 for the Namsan Cable car and KRW 14,000 for teddy bear museum + N Seoul Tower and KRW 12,000 for 2 pieces of your pictures with N Seoul Tower as a backgrounds + frame.
17. Go to CoeX mall, visit the aquarium and the mall. It was big! The aquaria tickets cost somewhat around KRW 17,500 if I am not mistaken.
18. Lotte world is also a must go place. You dont have to buy tickets.. just go to Seokcheon lake and enjoy the view of the theme park form there. I was told they held a free show at the so-called mini auditorium there. Go to Loteria Fast Food and asked for squid burger or prawn burger.. but the squid is a must eat! veli delicious owh! Go to Star Avenue for the price of KRW 10,000 if you are a fan of Jang Eun Suk, Big bang, Kim Hyun Joong, 2 pm and i-dont-remember- who. Don't forget to take picture with their traditional clothe for KRW 8,000/picture there. And also, go visit the ice skating rink.
19. Do say kamshamnida everytime you leave the shop..
20. Do walk along Cheonggye stream at Dongdaemun... veli lomantik.
