Fly to Seoul : Day 7 (Chongga Kimchi World and Goodbye Seoul)

annyeong haseyo...nothing much to do at work today...so gonna update my blog then :P ...

final day at Seoul...a mix of feelings actually...happy that we're going back to kl, craving for the malaysian dishes & cuisines...nasi lemak, roti canai, hehehe....but was also sad that we had to bid farewell to Seoul....although we stayed there for almost a week, time flies very fast and we were absolutely not done yet exploring & enjoying Seoul to the fullest...i must admit that Seoul is a really nice place to live...the amenities, facilities, technology & people were just amazing...really made my heart wanted to migrate there, seriously...and ofcourse i would like to visit Seoul again in the future...but who knows, i might migrate there someday or continue my phD studies over there :P ....

in the morning, we headed to Insa-dong as my wife & mother-in-law wanted to attend the kimchi making class at Chongga Kimchi World...from Seollung station line 2 head to Seoul National University of Education, then change to line 3 heading to Anguk and drop off at Anguk...exit via exit #5...once exit, there is an SK Telecom building on the right...walk straight about 100~150 meters, Chongga Kimchi World is at the building on the right...there's also a signage pointing to the location there...at Chongga Kimchi World, they teached how to prepare the Kimchi, how to wrap it & how to pack it...the ingredients itself were already prepared by them as the ingredients were kept secret (i thought only KFC keeps the secret ingredients of their 11 herbs & spices :P)....the class was also joined by 2 other ladies from Thailand...since i didn't take part in the kimchi making class, i became the official photographer for the class instructor :P ...after about an hour, the class then ends...the participants were allowed to bring back the 1 kilo of kimchi made back home...so we had our very own made kimchi back at kl....




























after that, we headed back to our hotel to have our prayers and straight away check-out from the hotel as check-out was 12 pm...however we requested for and extension of 30 minutes to perform our prayers...at 12.30 pm, we checked out and left our luggages at the reception counter as we had our lunch first at Itaewon before heading to the Incheon International Airport...would be very troublesome to carry our luggages together with us to Itaewon...we then head to Itaewon again to have our brunch at the Foreign Restaurant, the place where Simon from our AirAsiaGo tour took us for lunch...this time we had buffet instead since when we arrive, buffet lunch was set up there...quite a variety of dishes they had there...pricing wise was quite okay...about the same price per person's meal at Usmania International Restaurant...

after satisfying our hunger, we then head back to the hotel to get our luggages and off to the Korea City Air Terminal to board the bus to the airport...it was the same bus as we came to Seoul from Incheon International Airport...was the same price as well...the journey this time, all of us including me slept most of the time due to exhaustion & tired...after almost an hour of journey, we then arrived at the Incheon International Airport...the AirAsiaX counter was not open yet, so we had to wait...after about an hour, auntie Angeline and the gang arrived too at the Incheon International Airport (did i mentioned that auntie angeline also went to Seoul but a day later than us? :P)...







after checking in our luggages and our selves, we hanged around a bit at the gate entrance area to wait for our 11.25pm flight...around 10.30pm, we started to board the plane to bid farewell to South Korea...it really has been a wonderful trip, seeing wonderful places, experiencing wonderful facilities and interacting with wonderful people of Seoul...am already missing Seoul...will definitely want to visit Seoul again and perhaps stay there :P ...







stay tuned for my next post, Mini Vacation, Swiss Garden Resort Damai Laut...
