I booked my ticket via Airasia with flythru to Kuala Lumpur. I arrived at Changi Airport around 7:00PM for my flight to Kuala Lumpur at 9:00PM. I had my dinner in KFC inside the terminal.
I safely arrived in Kuala Lumpur's Low Cost Carrier Terminal around 10:00PM. I was excited to experience riding the AirAsiaX, which uses Airbus A330-300. All AirAsiaX was set for Long Haul Flights. Like for example, South Korea, Australia, Etc.
My flight bound to Seoul is 1:00AM. It was expected for about 7 hours flying time from Kuala Lumpur to Incheon.
Around 7:30AM, we landed Incheon. I cannot describe that moment when the FA announce that we are preparing for landing. Overlooking a portion of South Korea from my window seat is a bliss.
It was a smooth movement passing through the Immigration. No questions was asked. Relief.
After passing through Immigration, I was stunned by the Interiors of the Incheon Airport. It was pretty good. I wasn't able to roam around the airport so I cannot say that it is better than Changi. For me, being a frequent traveller coming from Singapore, I can say that, Changi is still the best airport.
After checking in to my guesthouse, I rested for awhile before I proceeded to my walk tour. (Separate post for my Guesthouse Experience)
Since I stay around Insadong area, it gives me privilege to save a couple of wons since I don't really need to ride Subways to go from One spot to another. From my guesthouse, I walked around 5 minutes and headed down to Changdeokgung Palace. I paid 3,000.00 KRW.
After roaming around the Changdeokgung Palace, I headed to the Grand Palace, around 10 minutes of walking, but unfortunately, it was close.
I simply went through Insadong, Where I purchase some souvenirs and had my lunch in a nearby restaurant. I wasn't able to post some of my photos because some of my files got corrupt :(
I went back to the guesthouse to catch some sleep. Around 5:00PM, I began my walk tour. From my guesthouse, I walked about 20 to 30 minutes going to Myeondong. It was quite a long walk to think. But being a first time in Korea and with a 9 degrees temparature, you will definitely enjoy walking.
I pass through Myeongdong Cathedral to offer some prayers.
A bunch of locals and tourists can be found here in Myeongdong. Myeongdong is known for being a shopping capital here in Seoul. The prices here is cheaper. Especially the Uniqlo. Uniqlo in Seoul is way cheaper that Uniqlo in Singapore. :) I wanted to buy winter jacket but I have second thoughts since I cannot use such jackets in Singapore. haha!
From Myeongdong, I went uphill to ride the NamSan Cable Car bound to NamSan Tower.
I paid 8,500.00LRW for return tickets.
The view is spectacular. Better photos were corrupted :( Photos below were taken via mobile phone camera.
The world famous, Locks of Love.
From Seoul Tower, I also did walk towards Insadong. As I said, I enjoyed walking while I am here. :) Good sceneries, Good weather. :)
