Hello I'm sitting in the quite abandoned m:idea office (everyone went out for lunch) and there is absolutely nothing to do. We finished our work liao. So here I am clearing my Korea trip post!!!!! Day 9 at Lotte World and Myeongdong The absolutely best part about Lotte World was we only paid $8.90 for the one day special pass :D!!!!! It usually costs 40 000 won (which is about SGD $45) but we got a 30% tourist discount cuz we picked up this brochure from a tourist information desk at Namdaemun, so it was 28 000 won, and then we had this prepaid credit card (which you can use to shop at convenience stores, shops under Lotte  company I think and Lottle World) which has 20 000 won inside courtesy of KTO !!! We did surveys and shit ahaha. So we only needed to pay 8000 won after the discount and using the card. I LOVE KOREA. LOTTE WORLD!!!!!! It was quite empty because we went early but there were still queues and all. Didn't have to wait that long though! The first ri...

Hello!!! Week one of intern has been pretty nice. We cleaned and stocked up our pantry!!!

Inspire (that is the design unit which I am part of) has been up to brainstorming concepts and shit lol not much work at all for now. Jiayou for intern everybody!!! We had a photoshoot today for every unit and Inspire was the weirdest hahahaha love it. Okay back to Korea!!! Day 7 at Dongdaemun and home I think we were supposed to be going somewhere else I think we only followed 10% of the original itinerary. Eh it was super rainy and cold.

Had brunch at some random restaurant. It was good~ Beansbin'...

Day 3 at Namdaemun, Myeongdong and Dongdaemun! Banana milk for breakfast~ What you can find in the subway Top of Shinsegae (Korean version of Takashimaya) Gamjatang~~~ :D Pork bone soup made with pork spine, potatos and shitloads of spices that blend together to make this wholesome soup. Super good for cold days. MYEONGDONG!!! And that's Weilin withThor and Captain America statues Street food for dinner at Dongdaemun with a Jap girl staying at the house. The host asked if she could tag along because it is dangerous to go to DDM at night and she's really young (16 and travelling alone!!! Ok she's actually here to study but yeah.) Day 4 at Apgujeong (SMTown, Cube Cafe, JYP) Dear god we walked so far from the Apgujeong subway station to find these three buildings. It's at least a 20 minute walk and there are no road signs in Korea si beh hard to find the place gah. But yay.  Best. Samgyupsal (pork belly). Ever. Really. Every...
