S. Korea | Streets of Dongdaemun, Seoul [Pt. 1]

Dongdaemun, Seoul, South Korea

Continuing this post from this post, I'm bringing you guys the street of Dongdaemun. Somewhere I never see anyone posted any pictures of it before. To those who have been to Dongdaemun, they probably walked the same path ⎯ or maybe not. Didn't know it has a pretty river to take pictures at. I know I seldom post about my trip to Seoul back in 2016, trust me when I said there were a lot of pictures to choose from and that part alone was hard enough for me let alone to edit them all. It takes a long time, only a pro could do something like that. So, without further babbling here is the post about my short out and about in Dongdaemun.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We stopped for a minute because the camera suddenly stopped functioning. After me and Adam did something to it that I didn't even know what it was, it started working again. And I was thankful that the camera stopped working because otherwise I would't notice the lovely Heunginjimun Gate (Dongdaemun Gate) that was just right in front of us. It's so beautiful and I wish we had more time to explore it but we didn't.

A quick fact about Heunginjimun Gate :
Heunginjimun Gate, is now the oldest main gate remaining in Seoul after Sungnyemun Gate (Namdaemun Gate) was destroyed by a fire on February 10. 2008.

On our way to DDP, we passed by a craft market in front of JW Marriott Hotel. We didn't stop though we want to. It was a bit crowded so we couldn't really sandwiched between people so we just head straight to our main destination although I get a few glimpse of all the stuff that was on sale. I did record a video of the craft market but since I don't have a youtube channel (yet), I did not make any effort to compiled the entire clip into one proper video/vlog. I guess all those videos is for my eyes only. Although I would love to share it with everyone.

The craft market was super small. Only a few booths of handmade home & living items that was spotted. Then I found this cute coffee van by Volkswagen. I love how they decorated the van into something cute and unique. Especially the roof. I've seen it before but I haven't seen it up close. I queued for one of the coffee but then I cancelled, I don't even know why. Maybe because I remembered that I can't handle coffee on an empty stomach. Yes, I only had cereal that day. So, don't want to risk spending hours in the bathroom because of a bit of caffeine.

Then we found this river (?) along the way to DDP. I thought it would be a nice place for  photos so me and bestie went to the river while Ashley & Adam waited for us by the bridge. I love taking other people's photo, so I made my bestie my personal subject that afternoon. I walked a totally different path from her to get candid shot. I love how it turns out especially the lighting. The weather was really great that day, sunny but cold and breezy.

I wish I have someone who would take photos of me like I take photos of my friends. That would be nice for once in a while.

So that was Dongdaemun Streets part 1. I will continue part 2 as soon as possible, and currently editing all the photos along with other photos for other blog posts as well. It was kind of hectic but at least I got to get my thoughts out of my mind for a bit. Staying at home is really boring so I want to give full commitment on my blog as much as I can. I hope the post is not too draggy, long and boring.
Thank you so much for reading and much love, T.

    1. Ha'ah Dongdaemun kalau nak shopping memang tak best unless kita orang kaya baru rasa feel shopping tu.
      Kalau nak shopping best kena pegi Namdaemun or Myeongdong :)

    1. I hate that about myself. I will suffer a severe stomachache if I drink coffee on empty stomach. Could be worse even.
      I can't wait to write it, but sadly none of us are fashionable for anyone to look forward to it hahaha
      We're just a bunch of ugly losers 🤣

      Yay! That would be nice. And I'll take photos of you. ❤️
