The meal was sort of a Korean adaptation of the shabu shabu. I realised that their serving size is a tad bigger than those normally served in SG. Thankfully we had the help of the waitresses in teaching us what to do with our food, we had no idea when to put what in. Nonetheless, the food was good ESPECIALLY Ginseng Chicken Soup. LOVE IT LOVE LOVE LOVE

We strolled and went shopping around in Myeong-dong and took a cab to the COEX Mall. We had planned to visit the sea aquarium thing that I researched online!

COEX kinda reminds me of Suntec City as it is sort of a multi-use area/land. COEX mall is only part of the property of COEX. There are still exhibition halls, etc. Anyway, was a bit disappointed to see that COEX was undergoing renovation! But what excites me the most would prolly be the fact that it was near Gangnam LOLLOL *cues Gangnam Style*

Had to walk quite a distance there, and it was pretty crowded for a weekday, packed with busy parents and crying/yelling kids. I guess everyone wanted to visit the sea aquarium as well.

Walking...

Prolly cheaper if go SG's S.E.A Aquarium instead. In the end we took some self-patronising pictures of the entrance LOLOL and leftttttttt

We went shopping and exploring the place, mainly. Turns out the area also included hotels and casinos! So, wanting to try our luck, we made our way there...

Went back to Myeong-dong! Didn't manage to finish shopping there since that morning/previous night

Accidental shot that captured a pretty girl. Chio!

By then we were super hungry but wanted to rest our feet so we went to this cafe that we thought was the cat cafe, and got duped after we realised but too late! Rested at this cosy place before heading back to the hotel.
