Korea free and easy: seoul super market

Supermarket!! My favourite place for buying snacks back home or some fresh fruits to keep myself healthy for the whole trip
Supermarket at Seoul train station..
From myeongdong, it is a five minutes taxi ride or a station away.
It is like a hypermart with toiletries, food and a lot of things.




All kinds of kimchi

Ginseng?




Idols and their products






They don't provide plastic bags but free paper box for you to pack your items. or bring your own bags

I love love the grapes

 Ice cream time!!
The famous banana milk. Bought various drinks to try out.



Btw, if you spend quite a lot.. I don't remember the amount, you can do tax refunds too.

Korea free and easy : Seoul Tower

Taking the free bus as they don't allow cars to go up anymore.
Can take the cable car too.



 Managed to catch the beautiful autumn leaves.





 Love locks everywhere. someone even managed to hang cups on it. haha..
 Bought tickets to go up.
I will suggest reaching  seoul tower around 1-2 hour before sunset so can take photos of seoul tower in day and go up before the sun stare to set. Will be able to catch the day and night scenery of seoul.


 They using the "love theme" to attract more people to seoul tower.




  view from seoul tower..
I went in second week of novemeber in 2010 and 1st week of november in 2011. However, I manage to catch pretty maple leaves in 2010. In 2011, some of the maples leaves turned yellow or was dried up.



From Chungmuro Station (subway lines 3 & 4), use exit #2 and take bus #2(Yellow Bus) to N Seoul Tower (08:00 to 24:00 / every 8 min / 15 min travel time) Fee 550won
