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).

Thank you Tina for the most amazing experience today for my partner and I, i feel like i got so much closure doing this and have always truly wanted to better understand what colours work for me and my make up shades. Now i can pick better outfits for myself and make up shades and not feel so confused moving forward. This is such a must experience and i highly recommend it to anyone with any curiosity to this!!! Thank you again 🫶

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.

The tour was awesome even if we had tight schedule since we have several tourist spots to go to. The trip was also amazing as our guide, David, helped us a lot and even gave tips on this tour and even in our travel in South Korea as a whole - plus he’s a good singer too! We also had a comfortable ride so this tour is very much recommendable :)
