Korea Seoul free & easy : Ewha woman's university shopping hair perming and food..

Started our day at Ewha woman's  university by looking for a simple cafe for a delicious breakfast.

A little cafe at a small little alley which Korean girls hang out.

Went to Cecica hair salon as recommended by some blogger.

3 different curls. Did not coloured our hair.

1st is just at the bottom few inches. middle start from the ear. and last is slightly more wavy.

When we walked into the salon, we choose a suitable hair style after discussion with the hair stylist in simple English from images on the computer.

Price is 162 000 won inclusive of perming, treatment and cut.

Although I like the outcome, I did not enjoy the experience..

My friends' hair stylists are attentive and gentle.

Mine hair stylist washed my hair like she was hand washing her dirty clothes, rubbing with so much strength.. it hurts a lot and I told her off after the second wash.

my heart just breaks at the thought of what she done to fragile hair.

My other hair stylist spent more time admiring herself in the mirror..

Will go korea again for perm as the curls are still there after 4 months and I do not have to curl it much at night. 

 Shopping at Ewha woman's university. The dresses are cheap at around 10000 won onwards..There are more expensive and better quality too. and I do like the facts that their dresses are suited for people taller than 160 cm. Sometimes, my loots from Bangkok just end around my butt.. Bags are also from 10000 won onwards and there are shops selling accessories at 1000 won onwards.. There are a lot of things available at the minimum price I stated. For me, I find Ewha shopping the cheapest. I bought one of the dress at 39 000 won, they quoted me 60000 won at dongdaemum and reduce to 40000+ won at their own initative.

We did not eat a proper lunch, but snacked out way through.

My favourite korean snacks, ate it on my previous trip, the chicken on skewers and the cup of chicken, rice cakes and potatoes..

The rice ball was recommended by some blog but I find it so so only.

Oreo and Choco.. nothing can go wrong for such a combination..

JUst eat Singapore : Siam Kitchen (Thai food) at nex

Ordered Tom Yam soup.

Yes, the bowl is half full...few seafood and mushroom inside.

Soft shell crab and curry. 

Chicken

The food serving is not little but is not a lot either.

The food is consider good especially the chicken. Tender and flavoured

However, the service is not really up to standard.

Firstly, they serve us a bowl of rice and the tom yam soup after a 15 minute wait. 

We waited another 15 minutes but none of the food came. 

The soup turned cold and the rice became hard, we feedbacked to the manager and after another 10 minute.

we were ok waiting for our food, serving us partial of the food and leaving us there for another 10 minutes while the food turned cold is not really desirable.

They serve us our food and replace our soup.

Weirdly, the soup was hotter than when it was served for the first time.

I notice someone who placed her order 5 minutes before me and she was enjoying her dinner while I was waiting for my food to arrive.

Another table, the guy finished his dinner and his friend food arrived. In between, there was like a 10 min gap?

I was bored, waiting for my food to arrive so I was being kaypoh.

Seriously, if I eating with my friend in a restaurant. I want to eat together, not I eat first and then look at my friend eat and vice versa.

The restaurant was half full only.

Intent to catch the sunrise but it was raining yesterday and weather reports said that there are haze.
Be prepared to walk a lot if you are not talking the tram.
My phone estimated we walked around 15km..
Good morning exercise, take a good breakfast before you start on the long walk.
Wear good walking shoes.
Recommended you to go around sunrise or sunset because I did saw some fantastic photos by other bloggers.
Enjoy the fresh air and nice scenery.

I ordered the chicken, which was tender and juicy. 

My student's breakfast serving seems quite big and they did enjoy their breakfast. It was quite worth it too, at around $15.

The dessert which was mango meringue was just normal.. 

The interiors is simple and comfortable.
