7 days in seoul 🌸

Sam, this isn't a fashion show. Right, we just finished packing so let me just do a quick catch up with you guys on where we are going. In the past, well before COVID, we would always make a trip to Tokyo to see the cherry blossom. But because Victor has never been to Korea and that has always been on his bucket list, we decided that we would go see cherry blossoms in Seoul this year. But what makes this trip extra special is that we are going with a group of friends that we became close with during the pandemic, so this will be our first trip together outside of Hong Kong. Fingers crossed we won't have a white lotus situation. So our flight is at 7am and the airport express doesn't run that early. So for peace of mind, I ordered my Uber Reserve in advance so we can get to the airport on time. With Uber Reserve, you can book your car ride up to 30 days in advance so you know exactly what time they will pick you up and also an estimated trip fare. Oh and also there's a bonus feature called Uber Travel where you can sync your entire travel itinerary from your car pick up to the airport and then finally to your end destination. Alright I'm going to head off to take a quick shower and then we're sleeping because we have a 3.30 alarm to get up to. See you at the airport. We are at Starbucks. This is so adorable. Found this cute shop. Going to go check it out. And we got up early to queue for this restaurant. See every little dining room has a circle window and the ones downstairs have a private Japanese garden. Oh my god. Let's go. Natalie, tell us where we're heading to. Says. Which is a bar. I have no idea where we're going. Communication. Yeah. Saturday morning, queuing for this cafe onion you guys recommended. Hello Ramona. I can't shake the simplest feeling beyond the ghost. We stand on the opposite shore. Hello Ramona. I reach through mysterious. It took us about an hour to queue for onion. Now we're done and we're going to go find our friend Natalie at the Blue Ball nearby the palace. Oh, okay. Off to a late start because my Final Cut Pro crashed this morning so I had some editing issues. But our whole gang is, but our whole gang is over at Itaewon so we're going to join them for a coffee at Anthracite and then head over to the Liam Art Museum. It's really true. Oh no, you got it. It was real. I can't hold a frown too long. I can't stay down too long. Runnin' from pain, runnin' from strain, runnin' from things, runnin' from schemes. I can't hold a frown too long. I can't stay down too long. It's like thick potato. It's not like chips. My bowl of matcha. Wait, it actually turns eight. Okay. Yeah! We both got it. Today is day six of our Seoul trip. Two of our friends already left back for Hong Kong and today is just a DIY thing. Two of our friends went to Nami Island and one friend is going to Liam. So today we are going to go explore Cherry Blossoms and Cafes. We just finished another Cherry Blossom Cafe. At that one they only have one Cherry Blossom spot and it's more like a punch card situation so you just take your photo and then leave. We're starving. It's 2pm. We haven't had breakfast or lunch today so we're going to go grab a bite to eat somewhere. We are now at the Anyoung River Stream. Anyoung? I forget. But I found this place through another Instagram girl's account. I stalked her page and I saw the geotag and now we're here. Yo, Dalgona. This is all the random stuff we are buying from Daiso. From the outside it doesn't look like much but inside the Courtyard of Grey Lab you see these two huge Cherry Blossom trees. At the back there is another office and a second floor with a really gorgeous viewing deck of the Cherry Blossoms. With brown hair Her name is Mabel She's a girl Full of life If we go to the beach Don't forget your sandals If you look up to the sky If you could organize the stars We just won Hawaii's video You can get iced coffee in a bag here in Korea. Oh, I thought you put the ice in the bag and you drink it from the bag. Oh no! A little different than all the rest A quiet old fashion where I had sometimes played chess And when I'm out I'm looking for that vintage flame But old complexions that I adore So hard to find these seem impossible to score So I dream of To someday find that vintage love I kept on looking But everyone's such a bore And out of a sudden You came to speak to me The lights were dimmed as our eyes met and you saw me It's been forever more For us to share that vintage dream I'm going to get a haircut and perm Part of our K-pop transformation Making pizza I kept on looking But everyone's such a bore
