Travel Vertical Vlog

After lunch, Mar and I went back again to Gyeongbokgung (경복궁) for some exploration. The cherry blossom hasn’t fully bloomed yet at the palace. Other than a few couple of trees that has started to bloom, the rest of them were still pretty bald. People who came to the palace lined up in front of those few trees to get pictures with a glimpse of the flowers in their shots, just like what happened last time during previous visit.

We ended up passing by Samcheongdong (삼청동) on our way back to Hongdae and saw many couples hanging out around the area. A pretty common sight during the weekends in Seoul.

At the subway station, we made a pit stop at Paris Croissant for an afternoon snack after our excursion at Gyeongbokgung because Mar was hungry. She bought some bread and milk. And it was actually her first time trying their milk. If you ever passed by Paris Croissant and you like milk, it’s worth a try. Their milk taste a little different than regular milk. The one that’s in a clear glass bottle with blue cow, mountain, and trees graphics on it (I think they also have other kinds of milk if I remember correctly) tastes milkier and creamier compared to regular milk, I think. Mar also bought this Japanese Croquettes looking bread that has some kind of fillings inside. What’s funny was that I think just by looking at the shape of the bread, we both kind of expect that it’ll be a warm bread (or even lukewarm since it’s been sitting out on the tray). What we didn’t expect was the bread was cold. Like egg salad cold I think. It was pretty funny watching Mar took her first bite and how her face immediately scrunched in disappointment (watch the vlog and you’ll see what I mean).

Per our moms’ request, we went back to the Korean spicy soft tofu stew (순두부찌개) place that we went to on our first day of the trip for dinner. They’ve been there before too during our previous trip and was craving sundubu. Afterwards, we stopped by this juice place nearby to grab some dessert before heading back to our Airbnb.
