Starting today, I will be traveling to Korea for 3 nights and 4 days.
In this video, we will also introduce travel and food expenses!
First, we will have lunch at the airport.
I completely forgot that the in-flight meal would be served an hour later (lol).
There is a sake shop next to the gate in the departure area.
I heard that you can sample sake, so I got some. was delicious!
The plane used was Korean Air. A set price of 82,000 yen including 3 nights at a hotel.
Arrived in Korea in 2 hours.
A friend who lives in Korea was waiting for me.
Handmade placard.
You can reserve a Wifi router online in advance and pick it up and return it at Incheon Airport.
Giga unlimited is about 400 yen per day. cheap!
It's cheaper if you make a reservation on a site called Conest.
It takes one hour by train from the airport to Seoul Station.
I was issued a WOWPASS card while waiting for the train to Seoul.
This is a prepaid card that allows you to insert Japanese yen cash into it and it will be converted into Korean currency and charged.
You can check your balance on the app and use the card to ride the subway.
From Seoul, take the subway to the hotel.

The room is large, but a little old and dark.
It was nice to have a large refrigerator that cools things down well.
After dropping off my luggage, I will go out for dinner.
The first night was Takanmari! I'm going to Dakkanmari Street in Dongdaemun!
I arrived at the store.
When I come to Korea, I always go to this store.
1 Takanmari 28,000w.
A whole chicken is simmered in a pot, which is rich in collagen. The next day, my skin feels plump.
For the sauce, mix it yourself by adding vertical mushrooms, vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, and garlic. This is so delicious!
The meat is cooked so tender that it easily peels off the bone.
When these potatoes are stewed well, they become soft and delicious.
Mochi toppings are a must! This is the most delicious mochi I've ever had!
Kimchi is self-service.
Last but not least is Shime Udon.
A soup full of chicken flavor and collagen.
We ate until we were full and drank alcohol for 2,000 yen per person. Delicious, cheap and very satisfying.
I will go shopping at Dongdaemun's wholesale district.
Each store has its own system, so you can browse only the stores that interest you.
Lots of cute loungewear! Each piece costs about 1,500 yen.
Many of the store staff can speak Japanese, so you can negotiate the price.
There are many blouses that you can often find on Korean online shopping sites.
Most of them were 2,000 yen to 4,000 yen each.
I only have clothes for two nights, so I will buy them locally.
I bought room wear and knitwear.
The city is bright and fun even after 11pm!
Finally, I bought a drink at a convenience store and headed home.

The taste was like diluted Calpis and was easy to drink.
I will return to the hotel on the last train.
Today's loot! I got clothes to wear tomorrow.

Head to Dongdaemun for breakfast.
This app seems to be easier to view the map of Korea than Google Maps.
Breakfast is at a Korean toast chain restaurant.
It's easy because you can order in Japanese.
Eat on the terrace.
looks delicious! !
I ordered an iced cafe latte with avocado egg toast.
The bread is sweet and salty, similar to Korean toast.
A delicious cafe latte and delicious toast in the morning makes me happy.
After eating, I lined up to go into Nike before it opened.
You can create your own original product by attaching your favorite patch to the product you want to create.
The Myeong-dong store seems to be quite crowded, so I chose the Dongdaemun store.
I want this patch, but it's out of stock.
The Hangul Nike logo is cute, but the black and white version is also out of stock.
Cut and paste the tape to determine the position of the patch.
After thinking about black, I chose a white cap.
The Hangul logo that I can't give up on... It's really cute.
The blue one was in stock, so I decided to put it on the back.
Complete! The cap is 19,000 won, and each patch is 4,000 won.
A friend of mine also made a trainer. The trainer is also cute.
After you pay, you will be given a pick-up time, so you can shop during that time and wait.
There was a tax refund machine in the building, so I was able to get my tax refund right away.
We walked for about 10 minutes and moved to another building.
This is an accessory shop located in the wholesale area of Dongdaemun.
You can buy the same items you would find in the Myeong-dong and Hongdae areas at a cheaper price.
There are so many cute items, you'll want them all.
In addition to accessories, there were also bags and caps.
The key chain is also cute.
I'm happy to be able to purchase cute accessories.

This seems to be a popular Yukhoe restaurant.
Cheers with makgeolli today!
It’s here! ! ! !
My friend is screaming (lol).
Yukhoe raw scampi.
This was so delicious! "Mung bean pancake" is a local Korean gourmet dish.
I thought I didn't like makgeolli, but when I tried it for the first time in about 5 years, it was delicious! My taste buds have matured (lol).
Yukhoe is eaten with sesame oil and salt sauce. It's so delicious that you can't stop eating with chopsticks.
Mung bean pancake is different from the pancakes commonly eaten in Japan, it is crunchy and crispy!
It is eaten with sweet and sour sauce containing onions. was delicious.
The friends were eating fruit candy after dinner.
After leaving Gangjang Market, we headed to Myeong-dong.
This is the main street of Myeong-dong.
There are many food stalls and it is crowded.
Delicious looking gimbap.
If my friend sees Mac, he definitely wants to try it! "Taro pie" that is only available in Korea.
I took one bite, and the taro cream was sticky and had a gentle sweetness, and it was very delicious.
I was looking forward to shopping at Olive Young.
The sunscreen I wanted!
I buy it after asking a friend for recommended packs.
A treatment that has been a hot topic. It comes in two bottles, so I decided to share it with a friend.
The Etude House foundation I wanted.
I enjoy my time shopping here! Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.
There are many modeling packs in the cash register aisle.
I wanted it.
In this way, the number of packs increases by the time you reach the cash register (lol).
Enjoyable shopping is over.
On the way home, we all decided to take a purikura photo.
How many years has it been since you took a Purikura photo?
Yesterday may not be as beautiful as Japan's purikura, but it is a very fond memory.
We left our luggage at the hotel and headed out into the night by train.
I came to Samgyeopsal Street on the recommendation of a friend.
Great atmosphere! I will enter this store.
I wanted to eat outdoors, but they said there was a limit of 5 people per table. Because the venue was over capacity, we were directed indoors.
He made somek, which is a 3:7 ratio of Korean soju and beer. This is a common way of drinking in Korea.
It seems to mix by tapping the bottom with a spoon.
I tried it too.
From the top: pork skirt steak, pork shoulder, pork back, and samgyeopsal.
It was fun to be able to eat different parts.
I want to go to this Yakiniku street every time!
I came to a street where a stylish cafe was located in a renovated hanok.
There were a lot of cute cafes.
After yakiniku, we headed back to the center for drinks at a food stall.
I wanted to try drinking at a bar stall like the ones you see in Korean dramas!
The deep atmosphere is the best!
I wanted to eat Korean ramen, but this restaurant didn't have it, so I ordered Oden instead.

First, let's head to "The Modern Seoul."
Crossing the Hangang. Are there any Korean celebrities at the top of that building?
It is the largest department store in Seoul, which opened two years ago. It was my first time visiting.

After leaving Hyundai Seoul, I went to have lunch.
Today is my first time at Gangjang Gejang. 5 minutes walk from Gongdeok Station.
Hanasaki Crab Yosenabe. Medium size.
The Gangjang Gejang set has arrived.
Glorious raw blue crab.
It has a chewy texture similar to sweet shrimp, and goes well with the soy sauce, making it delicious!
Add rice to the crab miso,
mix it inside the shell, and eat it with Korean seaweed!
This is truly impressive deliciousness.
Ganjang Gejang is not cheap, costing 3,600 yen per person. But I want to eat it again when I go to Korea!
Move from Gongdeok Station to Samgakji Station.
In the afternoon, go shopping at the mall.
A friend who lives in Korea wanted to take me here.
All the products are my favorite styles.
The Christmas specifications are cute.
The price range and atmosphere are similar to Japan's "Franc franc".
There are many things I want, but I choose them carefully.
The handle is cute! This is 13,900 won.
I like this plate too! !
There were many other products besides kitchen goods.
It’s nice that it’s written in Hangul!
Shopping for miscellaneous goods is finished!
I came to the grocery corner.
It's like Aeon in Japan, so there are a lot of varieties.
This candy has cute individual packaging.
This is a video of me opening the box after purchasing it, and it looks like this.
Let's give this out at work.
I just had Ganjang Gejang, so I'm curious about the crab soup. .
I had to do a thorough research on the seasonings I should buy at Korean supermarkets.
Found Gong cha in the mall!
Drink tapioca milk tea and take a break.
Head to Seven Luck Casino, which is located in a hotel directly connected to Yongsan Station, which is the closest to the mall.
I went to play because I was able to get a 50,000 won tip with the coupon when I issued my WOWPASS, but
many of the games had minimum beds starting at 50,000 won, so I couldn't really enjoy it.
For dinner, we went to a budae jjigae specialty store inside Yongsan Station.
I missed the ramen at the food stall last night, so I was in the mood for ramen today.
My long-awaited budae jjigae.
The authentic Budae Jjigae contained several types of ham and sausage, as well as steamed soybeans and pasta, and was very delicious!
The bill was 1,300 yen per person. cheap! !
On the way home, I bought yogurt and the Korean version of Yakult 1000.
It's already the end of the third night.

I'm going to a beauty clinic in the morning today, so I'll just apply sunscreen.
Breakfast is Biyot yogurt.
The combination of crunchy chocolate and sweet yogurt is great.
I'm sad that today is the last day of my trip.
My 121 liter suitcase was now full.
Put down your Nike hat and let's go!
Head to the city center airport terminal inside Seoul Station to complete pre-boarding procedures.
Purchase a train ticket to the airport in advance.

After completing immigration, I moved to Myeong-dong.
I was hungry so I bought some kimbap at the station.

I reserved the date and time in advance on LINE, and the counseling is provided in Japanese.
I received full face pico toning and pico spot.
The procedure was not painful as a numbing cream was applied.

Lunch at Myeongdong.
This is a chain restaurant where you can enjoy charcoal-grilled meat.
We are hungry.
I ordered the most popular pork ribs set meal and a single item of samgyeopsal.
Teji Kalbi was served grilled. I wanted to bake it myself.
Samgyeopsal was delicious!
I was impressed by the deliciousness of the samgyeopsal salt that was prepared on a separate plate.
This one!
The bill was about 2,000 yen per person, and it was a very satisfying lunch.
This is the last shopping in Myeongdong.
This is Kiri's cream cheese flavored cookie. It seems delicious.
I've already checked in my suitcase, so I only need to buy what I can carry on board.
I entered a retro cafe in front of the Chinese Embassy in Myeongdong.
High ceilings and a nice modern-retro atmosphere.
Basque cheesecake and iced cafe latte. It was very delicious!
It was my first time to go to a Korean beauty clinic. I wanted to undergo the popular treatment ``Potenza'', but was unable to undergo it due to fear of pain.
All of my female friends, including myself, were too scared to undergo the procedure, but my male friend unexpectedly underwent the Potenza procedure (lol).
I had the impression that the downtime would be terrible, but by the time we were at this cafe, the redness on my friend's face had disappeared.
She said that the numbing cream was effective and there was almost no pain, so I would like to try my best to undergo the treatment next time.
I want to applaud the courage of my male friend who was scared when he made the reservation.
It's almost time for my return flight.
This entrance is exclusively for those who have completed pre-boarding procedures at Seoul Station.
I also processed the tax-free payment for the beauty clinic at the airport.
I think I'll buy something to eat at the airport.
It was a very fulfilling trip to Korea.
Thank you for watching until the end.
