Seoul Travel Tips Pt. 2 w/ Alex

Hi!
Welcome back to TurbulenceandTokyo!
This is Part 2 of Seoul Travel Tips.

1. Visit the DMZ, Demilitarized Zone and peek into North Korea. But watch out for nukes. And don't cross the line. Don't.

2. If you're meeting Korean friends, or locals, make sure to know the names of the popular K-pop groups. Girls Generation, EXO, etc.

3. DO NOT stay up binge watching Korean dramas. I learned this one the hard way. One you start, you really can't stop!

4. Download the Seoul Metro app, in case you need to take the subway. This was extremely useful as I didn't have data in SK.

5. Bring an adapter unless you live in Europe or Asia. SK uses a 220V power outlet and the plug needs two round pins. ("europlug")

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today and have a great time in Seoul.
I'll probably make a follow-up so bookmark my blog!

Top 5 Best Souvenirs from South Korea

Here are the Top 5 Best souvenirs from SK!

1. Korean Beauty Masks+ Other Beauty Supplies.

Snail Mask? I'll pass.

2. Cute Socks! Korea is famous for its adorable clothing. ( And they're cheap.)

Which one is your favorite?

3. KPOP Stuff! These are perfect for friends back home who are obsessed with K-pop.

I'll have that one. And that one. And that one too. And also that one. Can I have a bag?

4. Embroidery. These beautiful handmade crafts are an icon of Korea and helps support local craftspeople.

How'd they do all the fancy stuff?

5. Chopsticks and other utensils.

"Wait, I hold them like this? I got it! Wait, never mind"

Ok, That's it for now!

Thanks for reading my blog and have a great time in Korea!

Seoul Travel Tips

Hi and welcome back to my blog!

I recently went to Seoul and had a great time.

Here are some Seoul travel tips for you!

1. Check out Myeongdong market! It's the Korean version of Fifth Avenue. Littered with hordes of Korean beauty stores, Myeongdong is an essential part of any trip.

2. Download Google Translate and download the Korean offline mode which lets you user it without an internet connection. This was extremely useful during my stay in Seoul.

3. If you going from late November to early April, make sure to bring heavy clothing. Additionally, hand warmers would be a good investment. (I forgot these and my hands were freezing icicles until a kind tour guide took pity on me and lent me one)

4. Eat authentic Korean barbecue. Try the Galbi and Bibimbap. I've had Korean cuisine in my neighborhood, but it's nowhere as good as the real thing. Get it from the source.

5. Stay away from street food because you don't know how they are preparing the food.

6. Visit the Presidential Palace.

7. Go watch some K-pop!

That's it for now!
