Welcome to day 3 of my trip to Korea which was my 21st birthday! In this vlog you will see what I got up to on my 21st!! It was an amazing day and I'm glad to spend it with you all~!!
When I booked my trip to Korea back in February I decided to visit the SMTown Coex centre on my 21st birthday which is pretty much a museum of my favourite singers in Korea who are all signed to SMTown. My favourite obviously being Girls' Generation who are Korea's biggest girl group! It was every SMTown's fan dream! Everywhere you looked was pictures and merchandise full of Korea's most popular singers as you can see in the video above. It was the best way to the spend the afternoon of my 21st birthday. Something I will never forget :) I didn't take as my many photos because I captured a lot on video but here are some photos of the day.
Birthday outfit!
Obvs a 21st birthday selfie.
One of my favourite drinks in Korea! Its suppose to give energy to the people of Korea :-) Every bottle has a different message this one says 'Thank you'
Myeongdong! This was the view from the restaurant!
Patbingsu and honey bread with ice cream! Patbingsu is a very popular Korean dessert ate during summer!
Patbingsu! It has shaved ice, red beans and Korean rice cakes! There's many different kinds of Patbingsu you can get loads of different flavours! This was delicious and refreshing! It was 28 degrees that day!
My beloved honey bread~~~!! I would eat this everyday if I could. The presentation of the food isn't great because we were sat near a window and it was a little windy!
The interior of the cafe~
Me and Gyumin!
Gyumin loving life obvs!
He's not swearing at you guys~~~
In Gangnam finally~!
잘 찍었다 규민아!
He took lots of photos! I like this one though :-)
Girls' Generation ice cream~~~!!
Ice cream~~~!!
Loving life ha!
Not gonna lie.. The ice cream wasn't great it was white chocolate and passion fruit flavoured which are great on their own but together.. Lets just say I finished the ice cream because of Girls' Generation.
Me and 2 members of Girls' Generation Sooyoung and Taeyeon!
This has to be done.
I'm not too sure where this is to be honest haha! But this is the streets of Seoul at night!
Loved this place!
There's still more to come of my birthday in the next vlog and day 4 in Korea! Hope you enjoyed watching and looking at my photos of the day. It really was a special day and something I'll never forget! See you guys next time~!
Welcome to day 2 of my trip to Korea! In this vlog you will see what I got up to on my first full day in Seoul and 2nd day of my trip overall.
First morning in Seoul! View from my hotel room~!
Breakfast! Clearly I wasn't on my diet..
This was in Myeongdong near my hotel. Lovely spot to sit, chill and enjoy the weather. There's also street food and restaurants near here!
Oh how I wish to be back in Seoul~~~~!!
A main road in Seoul.
Love a selfie in my hotel room obvs.
Another selfie never hurt no one. Apart from the camera. #awks
OUTFIT OF THE DAY!
OUTFIT OF THE DAY #2.
Korean street food! My favourite Ddukbokki! I went to the same woman everyday to get my Ddukbokki fix! The more I went the bigger the portions got! This was the first time I went :-) I hope to see her in October! 10월에서 봅시다 아줌마!
Korean fried bread with red beans inside! Delicious~!
Clearly ATM's in Korea beat England's. Just saying.
All the products I bought on my first day! BB creams, CC creams, moisturisers, skin care the lot! Most of it is samples. In Korea when you enter the store they give you samples and give you more samples once you purchase something!
Dinner! It was soooo good. It had chicken, vegetables, noodles in a lovely black bean sauce.
Dessert! Fruit in a bowl with flavoured milk and lots of fruit~!
Shy~~~~ 보지마ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Present from my friends! Thanks guys! 선물 너무 고마워 애들아!
Night view from my hotel! Goodnight Seoul~~!! 내일 봐~
My second day in Seoul was amazing. I was able to have a great nights sleep and wake up jet lag free. I woke up around 10am in the morning because I wanted to utilize my days in Seoul to the fullest so I made sure I woke up early everyday and spent the whole day exploring. On my first day in Seoul I was with my friends and they were showing me around but I wanted to do some exploring by myself today.
So I went around Myeongdong where my hotel is and like I explained in the vlog above its famous for its shopping and street food! I bought lots of cosmetics and experienced Korea's street food for the very first time! So cheap but so good! I had the feeling of having to keep pinching myself because I was actually in Seoul! I came across lots of nice people in the shops and streets as they were curious about how I speak Korean or how I learned Korean as they all automatically assumed I was a student in Korea. They were even more surprised at the fact that I am self-taught.
Later on in the day I met up with my friends for dinner which was lovely! The food and atmosphere was great and afterwards we went to Insadong and ended up in a lovely bar which was very unique as everyone had their own booths so you had your own little room with a TV, music playing throughout and a buzzer to press when you wanted to order more drinks and food! The bartender took a liking to me as he loves England apparently! Was a great night overall and I even received a present from my friends which is from a very popular brand in Korea called 'The Saem' Definitely recommend everyone to check it out! Can't wait to start using it.
That was my second day in Seoul! I arrived back in my hotel room around 3am in the morning and it was already my 21st birthday! Tune in for the next vlog where you will see how I spent my 21st and all the pictures from the day.
