After arriving at Lotte Mart, I purchased a mobile coupon, and the voucher arrived and was available for use immediately. I also created an L Point card at the same time and received a great coupon (available at Lotte Group locations).

I really enjoy the Hanok Hotel Daam's vibe in chilly weather in the Autumn season there. Even I booked the double bed with only myself, I felt the room is still abit crowded. (I need to push-in and drag out my luggage from the shelf space under the bed everyday, to have enough walking/stand space) But that will not quench my like for this hotel when I ate breakfast and enjoyed the lingering moment after the meal. I like the food this chef served here, there're not multiple dishes serving, but each of them are delicious and diversity everyday. Especially, chef will care you have enoguh food and have excellent service and friendly smile that make you felt like home and be careness. I'll recommend the guest who like to pay time in shared space or outing. (There's 24hrs hot water, coffee and tea serving.)

We'll tour Seoul's attractions by bus. Since it's early November, the second floor might be a bit cold, so it's best to wear a thick coat. We had 30 minutes of free time at Seoul Tower, and it was nice that there was a cafe nearby.

Very convenient, easy to use, easy to board the train, and it leaves on time. comfy seats, there's a seat with outlets that is useful for me who worked on my laptop while travelling. Seat reservation was also smooth, I used my PH credit card.

For a heart-stopping performance, you definitely want front row tickets! Choosing the afternoon show gives you the delightful opportunity to take photos with handsome guys from the 'after-work small road' group.

First time trying on Hanbok. The staff at the shop were very nice, and there were staff who could speak Cantonese 👍. There are different levels when choosing Hanbok. This time I booked the premium Hanbok. The staff helped and gave suggestions when choosing clothes. Adding a few thousand Won for a nicer hairstyle is acceptable. After getting it done, taking pictures at Gyeongbokgung Palace was very beautiful and photogenic. Definitely didn't make the wrong choice, it's definitely worth experiencing 😍
