Trip to Korea - Day 3 (Ginseng Chicken, Namsan Seoul Tower, Namsan Park, Namsan Hanok Village, Dongdameum, Bibimbap, Co-op Residence)

It was another long journey from Mount Sorak back to Seoul. The time spent on the bus was about 3 hours or more.. I can't remember. As when we reached Seoul, we were brought to Walker Hill Casino for a visit.
'
Here, there are alot of different cars that are not from Hyundai..
According to the tour guide, this place is often visited by the rich people as Sheroton Hotel is just next to the casino.
Walker Hill Casino only allow foreigners to enter their premises as Koreans are not allow to gamble here. Outside of the casino is this tiny little chair that I have no idea why the man have to bow to the chair..
' Then we had our lunch at this ginseng chicken restaurant.
If you like mee suah you can add it into the piping hot ginseng chicken soup.
It is a small chicken, and in the chicken it is filled with rice where we eat together with the chicken and soup.
As it was lunch, the place was packed with lots of people and there are only limited space for walking. Everyone was sitting so near to each another!
A shot of the place before we leave ..
There is a tiny corner that sells souvenirs like keychains, nail clippers with Korea flag logo.. stainless steel chopsticks.. spoons.. etc. Our next destination was the Namsan Seoul Tower. The bus stopped at the kaki bukit.. so, we had to walk up the sloppy hill to reach the peak. It was cold and freezing.. and the wind was strong..
The surrounding was not too huge.. the time given to us was very limited that we had to rush in taking photos.. This is the bad thing by following tour huh ..
The lovers locks at the fence surrounding the N Seoul Tower area.
So many locks eh... I wonder if there are still spaces to lock the lovers' locks..There is also a Teddy Bear Museum here.
View of the city from the peak... Love this shot of us ..
Then we proceeded to the Namsan Park which was about 5 mins away Cherry blossoms at Namsan Park
Namsan Hanok Village. It is closed on every Tuesday!!
All thanks to the tour guide that he didn't know about it !!
So, we only took our photos from outside..
And we went shopping at Dongdaemun .. This is in front of Doota.
Dongdaemun Shopping Complex.
Street food that we saw a lot of people were eating while walking..Thus, we bought one to try .. It is a sausage wrapped with bread and french fries and deep-fried it..
Deep fried chicken stick in sticky red sauce..
We didn't have enough so we went back to the stall and buy more..
Deep fried chicken stick without the sauce .. Only mustard..

and the sausage is super nice!
Migliore for shopping. It reminds me of Platinum Fashion Mall in Bangkok..
We had Bibimbap for our dinner .. These are the side dishes..
The boiling cabbage soup ..
After dinner, we went back to our hotel called Co-op Residence..
Very small room to compare with Yanji Pine Resort and Sorak Pine Resort.
The bathroom
The very mini kitchen
