Day 3 in Seoul.
We were again blessed with a very good weather today. This time, it was really sunny with clear blue sky.
We started late today. We left our guesthouse at about 12p.m. We wanted to go to Apgujeong for lunch but we missed the stop and got off at Sinsadong instead. But we didn't regret it because we got to eat lunch at Blacksmith, a pizza place endorsed by Park Yuchun (Jan's Korean idol/actor sweetheart) and Song Seung Heon (my latest Korean actor sweetheart ;p). The place is a bit pricey because it is a proper restaurant but the food and service were great! We had a good lunch there.
Afterwards, we headed back to Apgujeong and went to this ice-cream place called Timeout Gellato owned by Park Yuchun's mother. According to Jan, the place is gonna closed soon because the whole Timeout Gellato franchise is closing down. That particular Timeout place is like a Park Yuchun's shrine where fans could come and worship him. The walls were full with Yuchun's big posters and the tv was showing his group's (JYJ) concerts. There's one cabinet next to the counter that was filled with Yuchun's merchandise. But the icecream was really good! So, it was not just about Yuchun.
After Yuchun, we went to Yeouido to visit the National Assembly Hall where cherry blossom trees were blossoming. It was such a divine experience! The trees were splendidly beautiful! When the wind blew, the petals went down softly like snow! Jan and I had a blast there!
Then we went back to Myeongdong to catch Nanta, a musical where 4 actors played music using kitchen utensils, including very sharp knives! They were so skillful and funny at the same time. No wonder it is one of the top 10 tourist attractions in Korea! I'm glad we watched it because the show was awesome, funny and very interactive.
We had a late dinner of seafood fried rice and paejon not far from Nanta theater. I can't remember what the place is called but they cooked the fried rice for you at your table. That's my first experience of something like that!
Another fun and interesting day in Seoul. Tomorrow, we will go to Nami island! Can't wait!!
