Wintercation Kimichi Land Part 4 - Gyeongbokgung Palace, Coex Aquarium, Starfield Library & Bukchon Hanok Village
The first day we used the Discover Seoul Pass was the third day. We first went to Gyeongbokgung Palace. When we reached there, the ceremony was going on. What a great timing. Cembam has already set her mind to wear the Hanbok. But that morning was soo cold. I told her if you wanna wear hanbok go ahead, but I am not. Hahaha. It was windy and chilly. So in the end we did not wear the hanbok. If you purchased the DSP, you can rent hanbok for free. There was 1 hanbok rental nearby the palace. The palace was not that semenggah pun. Maybe it was just tinggalan sahaja kot.
There were soo many people with Hanbok. Tahan betul depa sejuk. Everyone trying to get the best corner to update their tiktok socmed. We just roamed around a bit then we headed to the museum next to the palace. Not much as well to compare with Muzium Kesenian Islam kita. Hahaha. After few minutes, then we headed out and took our train to Coex Aquarium
Coex Aquarium is quite far. It was the farthest after the Arex to Incheon Airport for us sepanjang 3 hari tu. We reached there around noon time and ready for lunch. There is a Turkish Restaurant in the Coex mall. We entered the Coex Aquarium before lunch. Coex Aquarium, not bad la. I mistaken the place with the one with Mermaid inside. Salah tempat rupanya. Yang mermaid tu tempat lain. And ni tadi google yg di Coex Aquarium tu summer. Yelah..depa nak pakai bikini gitu sejuk2 winter..hahaha mapuh kerah bang. Masa kami pi memang macam less than 50 people je dalam tu. Coex Aquarium ni lebih kurang Aquaria lah senang citer dia.
After habis pusing, we headed out and had our lunch at Kervan Turkish Restaurant just nearby. Pricey place, tapi pejam mata je lah bedal. Selesai makan we asked where is the Prayer Room and the staff said its at 3rd Floor. Prayer Room sini is for the conferences rooms in the floor. There are few conference rooms and the prayer room takde tempat wudhu'. Kena amek wudhu' kat toilet dia. But when we were there, they don't really have conferences I think. Just saw few people with their office attire. So if we took 1 corner to pray jemaah pun at that time memang OK sangat. Sunyi je. Had a chat with some Malaysian and they shared that they had Roti Naan nearby Coex Mall. Kira luar COex Mall tu lah.
After that we just have to take photo kat Starfield Library la kan. Hahaha..Spacious library dia. tapi orang sangat bukan membaca sangat. Datang amek gambor je lah. Benda boleh bergambar je, nak buat apa baca buku kan. Kah Kah Kah. Dok turun naik escalator tu lah. Lepas puas bergambar we headed out. I googled what else attraction nearby. Masa ni Umobile roaming masih cemerlang. Then jumpa ada statue Gangnam Style just outside the mall. So kami pun ke sana lah untuk bergambar.
Masa ni kita ikut Itinerary orang umah la yang dah sediakan. Then next kami headed to Bukchon Hanok Village. For us, kalau Subway that we took crossed the river, perjalanan tu agak jauh la. Aa githew..Sampai2 kat exit station, walked a bit to the village. And around here pun if I'm not mistaken who ever bought DSP, you can get free 1 hour rental tak silap hanbok
Abeh makan kami balik and bought a pack of Strawberry sebab yang semalam dah abeh. Memang banyak kali beli strawberry kat sana haha.
