Seoul Day 5 - DMZ, Itaewon and Namdaemun

5th day. We got up super early cos we are supposed to meet the tour guide at the apt lobby at 740am. We are gg for the DMZ(demilitarized zone) tour, super excited cos jinhan told me is a good experience! The walk down the steep entrance to the tunnel is tiring! But the walk up is even more tiring!!!

Imjingak Plaza

The DMZ ended at noon time and we were back in Seoul and in Itaewon! This place is near the American army base in South Korea so the streets is more westernised in a way. We decide to stop here cos Hard Rock Cafe Seoul is here also. Before HRC we went to eat lunch, and according to the 天书, there is a nice family porridge shop in Itaewon so we search for it. The chinese name of the shop is call 高丽仙.



buy the way! is like 7-11 type of 便利店

高丽仙 is the 1st shop with small white signboard

one of my 遗憾 in Seoul is tat i nvr get to buy HRC tee cos all men's design sold out!!!!!

After HRC we went to 南大门 to buy our 紫菜! Finally we see the crowded 南大门. 南大门 sells a lot of ginseng and 紫菜, and of cos a lot of clothes also. But the clothes they sell there are more to those wear at hm de and kids clothes lah. hahaha.
