Day 2 ( Itaewon - KTO - Chenggyecheon stream - Gyeongbokgung palace - Day city tour bus )
We start our day by buying T money for 6 pax from the convenient store , this is the most convenient technology that easier for you to travel around Seoul by using their public transport especially the subway . We have to load the T money using the loading machine that you can find in the subway . Then you can used this either with subway or by bus . By the way , the temperature today is between 2 to 4 degree , very cold for the Malaysian , but we really can stand and enjoyed the cool weather . We thought it is already snowing but they said snow most probably by end of December .
We go to the subway line 6 and stop at line 1 Jonggak . Overthere we watch the guard changing ceremony , where they matching to the Gyeongbokgung palace from small palace walk through the Gwanghwamun gate . After that we went to KTO office , we spent sometime to see the exhibitions on the korean culture , K pop , korean foods taster etc . The good point , they allocate special praying room for muslim here , another effort by KTO to increase Muslim tourist in Korea . Here also , we met with one malaysian chinese girl whom had been for 3 mths in korea for student exchange program , what a small world !
Next we heading to the famous Chengyecheon stream , very clear and clean water . We spent some time there . We have our lunch at Dunkin Donut . We walk through the Gwanghwamun gate towards the Gyeongbokgung palace , it has very large area .
Finally , we take Seoul City bus tour (Day) in which we already cover most of the Seoul attraction places ie 43 stops interesting tourist spot ....namely Namsan Tower , the palaces , War Museum , traditional village ...etc. We stop at the Itaewon near the hotel and have our dinner at Maharaja Restaurant . It cost us for 85000 won ( RM255) , very expensive but what do you expect coz Seoul is one of the expensive asia city .
Night time , we spent our time again at the Cheongyecheon stream . The scenery much more beautiful at night .After spending some time , we headed back to our hotel for a good night sleep.......
