19 Nov 2019 - A trip to Yeoju Premium Outlet & Yeoju 375 outlet

Started out my day late.
I took the subway to Yeoju Station, exit 4, with the intention to take bus to the outlet.
But it was getting late and I knew I need time to walk around the outlet.
You can check with the information centre outside the station if you wish to know what bus goes to the outlet.
I think this time schedule was given to me by the information centre.
Instead of taking the bus, I got on the cab from here.
So I took a cab at 2.44pm, with a starting fare of 3800won.
I think it took about 10mins cab ride to reach Yeoju 375 outlet.
I forgot how much it cost, should not be than 13000won.
I bought a winter jacket from K2 and a pair of Superga at Yeoju 375 outlet.
Done with 375 outlet and I walked over to the Yeoju Premium Outlet.
About 10mins walk. 
You will not missed the place, both were located along the main road .
I bought Lego from the Premium Outlet.
Well, I knew I need not buy from here (so heavy to carry back) hahaha 
but just want to complete my shopping for X'mas presents.
I was really happy after I finished my purchases at Lego cos I knew my niece and nephew would be so happy to see their presents.
Dun ask me whether it is cheaper to buy here cos I dun know the normal price either...
I took the same cab back to Yeoju Station cos the cab uncle told me it would be hard to get a cab here.
He gave me his contact number to call him once I am done. 
The fare back to the station was 13800won.
Not sure if he was telling the truth but I was very glad to have my ride back with ease....
I was so exhausted with so many big shopping bags.
I could go to other Premium Outlets, but I came here just to have a look at the place.

19 Nov 2019 - Checking out a rooftop cafe & pub

Checking out a rooftop cafe cums pub for brunch today ^^
Very close to Sinnonhyeon station, exit 4/5.
Here we go!
Rooftop is on the 16th floor.
Saw this when the lift opened.
I think I reached here at 10am lol
I came early becos I wanted to take pictures without too many people in the background.
This was the operating hours during my visit.
Not sure if they have changed it though.
Excellent!
I was the only customer!
A favorite spot shown in the SNS.
This place was popular in the SNS back then. 
It was a cold day.
Initially, I thought it might be too cold to dine at the rooftop, so I wore thicker clothing.
But ended up too hot inside those tents hahahaha
Cos they provided heater here.
My normal but yummy looking brunch ^^
I remembered the tomatoes was very delicious hahaha
I think it would be nice to check out this place at nite.
Here's a blog showing the nite scene https://m.blog.naver.com/tmakdlfcjs/222297247827

18 Nov 2019 A leisure walk from Insadong to Ikseodong 익선동

From Isadong, I took a stroll to Ikseodong 익선동(about 15 - 20mins). 
This path is one of my favorite pavement whenever I came to Insadong.
I usually do not go to the main street in Insadong(tourist spot) but I like to cross the road and walked around this area.
Will we get to go Korea this Autumn..... 
I think not much hope ㅠㅠ
The purple dotted line is the pavement shown above. 
There will be shops and some eateries along the alley (but not sure about it now).
Ikseodong 익선동 is the shaded area.
Jogyesa is circled in Red.
Anguk station is circled in Orange
At Ikseodong 익선동.
I did not took a lot of pictures here though lol
I love cotton flowers!
I think these pictures were taken at just 1 shop, or 2 maybe??


18 Nov 2019 - 카페 “온” in Ikseodong 익선동

The red marker indicates the cafe I went to in Ikseodong 익선동.
This is the cafe signboard.
If I pronounced the Chinese character, it will be "Wen".
During that time, there were many SNS uploads of this cafe.
Do I call this cauldron?
Anyway, they were indeed very eye catching..at least to me.
My delicious Omija ^^
Came here for this since it was a popular item on the menu.
But I could not remember what was this like..
I only remember the Omija was very nice LOL
Super full after this....
