TOP 5 REASONS TO LOVE SEOUL, KOREA

Sights to See are Diverse. From the Teddy Bear Museum to Nami Island (click HERE). You'll just feel overwhelmed and childlike the moment you stepped into Incheon Airport. I personally like these 2 giggly bears. They are so huggable! Not to mention the many theme parks they have. Lotte World! 

Food. Seoul is a gastronomical place for your tummies to behold. From sweets to main dishes. You'll have 3 words to say to your diet. "Goodbye for now". Top picks are Samgyeupsal (beef rolled in a cabbage with uber yummy spices), Spicy chicken barbeque, Rice (adorable texture coming from a 7-eleven like store) and loads of desserts. Dear - I told you I am mortified to step on a weighting scale days after the trip. Too scared to see the truth. Hek hek!

Cold Weather. Okay the -12 degrees chill - I don't like that much but the fact that all our make-ups still looked "fresh" even after all that jazz - Hah. AMAZING! On the photo above, my clothes have like 4  layers but I can still feel it. Brr. Quoting one of my friends : Don't even dare complain how hot it is in the Philippines. When you were here murmuring about winter! People wants neither hot nor cold #confused. Hihi.

Metro. Was fascinated how is it at all possible that the once groping nation can soar up so high. Metros (train system) is one of the measures how well off a country is. And look at where Seoul is. Their maps are like snake and ladders. They have Korail (think train going to Bicol - that's their equivalent) and regular metros. On top of these structural stuffs, it appalled me to see that there are seats ONLY for disabled/pregnant/old persons. Young ones cannot sit on it. Not even if there's nobody seating there. How's that for respect?

Last but not the least... here's one reason I also miss most about South Korea...

Shopping. With Skin Food, Nature Republic, Etude House, Face Shop, etc. all around - you will literally get lost on your budget and on wide array of choices! Plus - one thing I find so rewarding is that beauty shops give freebies according of course on how much your shopping bill was. Skin Masks, Trial Packs, Posters. The works. Ang saya-saya! (Happy!)

Writing this post makes me wanna go back there again. Gee! -CMK
