Bukchon Hanok Village

040313 Part 2

Please see my previous entry here Day 2 Part 1.

So after having our lunch, we head to Bukchon Hanok Village. Its around 15 mins walk from Insadong. 

And yes, there is also Namsangol Hanok Village near our Guesthouse , or actually just behind our building in Chungmuro Station, but I guess the impact of reality shows 2D1N and Personal Taste is just too great in bringing us here :)

Just a reminder, the place is so HUGE!!! You could spend 1/2 day there and there is actually 8 special spots to take amazing pictures which we try, but yeah, its also like going in a maze. All the houses looks the same and even some have the same number. So we just go with our gut and follows where the other tourist walks to. 

we being so random :)

this is on 5th and 6th view :), when we walk up, there's a lot of people around, and when we arrived at the top, there was none!! lol, talk about bad timing to take picture. But I really love this shot :) 

The so called, Personal Taste house..and yes, the tour guide in red uniforms brings us here..heee, thought they will think that we are crazy to try to find this house but  there was a couple of Japanese tourist that comes later after our photo sessions :)

After probably 2 hour or so we head back to our guesthouse to go to N Tower later in the evening.

the Winter Sonata School. It was close for public on weekdays..

We go out again to N Tower around 3 pm. There is actually many ways to go to N Tower, one is by bus, walk or cable car. As we do not want to tire ourself out, we think that cable car is the easiest way to go. You need to take Exit 4 in Myeondong station.Entah macam mana, mungkin kerana kawan dengan confidentnya dah pergi N Tower ni, I thought that she will know the way there, but alas, we lost our way ..sobs, but it was really funny and good exercise too..            

Nana sleeping like a princess in stroller , while us pushing it like mad  

 After a good exercise and asking around a couple of people, we finally arrived at the cable car station. Not many people queuing  but it was funny that everyone is going into only 1 cable car. I thought it was like in Genting, where there will be 4 people at least in the cable car. So it was a little bit crowded and if you are lucky to be in front of the line, you can have the good view of Seoul .

         

     

After we arrived on the top of the hill, Nana was already fall asleep and there is no lift,hanya lah tangga. Menangislah budak kecil itu apabila dikejutkan. Dan terpaksa lah kami menempuhi drama menangis yang tak kesudahan, sehinggakan Teddy Bear musuem itu pun masuk tak sampai 10 minit kerana tangisan itu..

Nak tergelak pun ada, yelah, budak kecik selalu suka tgk teddy bear tpi, yg ini menangis mmg tak ingat dunia haha..but it was a good experience on and all.. yelah dah ada pengalaman menjaga sepupu yg berguling-guling di lantai bila nak sesuatu tu, so setakat menangis dlm stroller masih boleh bertahan lagi \ ^_^/..

Masuk dalam N Tower, we thought we are going to be there really quick since Nana could not stop crying, but thankfully there is a stuff animal shop and the staffs was really good in memujuk Nana untuk berhenti menangis, and after a while Nana was like her own self, macam buat2 lupa yang dia menangis dlm 30 min lepas tsk tsk, siap menyuruh kami menukar duit untuk lihat teropong  haha..

Well, seriously, at night, you cant really see anything up from the tower, probably some lights here and there, but its looks like a good picture session if you come in the daytime.

Selepas cuba jaya melihat apa yang ada, we go to our next plan~ Coffee Cojjee cafe own by Kim Jaejonng of JYJ.. since we thought we dont have time to look for subway station we just thought it is easier to go by taxi.  So much on saving our time that we have to pay 40,000 won for the taxi fare ~the highest taxi fare I ever paid in my life time ..huhu..the funny thing is we gave the address to the taxi driver, but initially he thought we just want to have coffee in Gangam area, until we told him that we want to go to Kim Jaejoong cafe, and he was like "oh, Kim Jaejoong-shi?? ahhhh ....'and laugh... :), hehs, so he knows JJ after all :)

the lock and so much love at N Tower that makes Nana impressed :)

We arrived quite late but there is still quite a number of fans in the cafe. We bought hot chocolate and just have a little break and took some pictures. We try to ask whether there is any stuffs that we can buy, but the staffs seems did not understand what we are trying to say, so we just give up. :(

Nana, Jaejoong most loyal fans :) 

For people who wants to know, Coffee Cojjee is near to Apgujueongrodeo Station. And probably 15 min walk, but it was tricky as it was not really along the main road, but you can go to here for the more detailed  instruction : coffee cojjee plan. So we take subway back as we have learned our mistakes and we need to wake up really early as we bought our bus ride to Nami Island in the next morning....kepenatan melayan budak kecik, yang bila balik segar -bugar tak nak tidur...aiseyy..tema hari itu, lawak si budak kecik :)
