Korea Trip | Seoul: Christmas Eve in Myeongdong

We've arrived in Seoul! After checking into our hostel, we spent our first night in the ever-packed shopping district of Myeongdong.

Highlights: Famille Station in Seoul Express Bus Terminal, subway to our hostel, street-food galore in Myeongdong, shopping, korean bbq, Arnel got a haircut, and then we watched Into the Woods to end the night.

Note: We wasted a lot of time looking for a foot spa place where there are fish that kind of eat away at your feet but we later found out it closed down. Also, we had planned to try on hanboks for free at the tourism center but we arrived too late and it was all booked for the night :(

This video is part of a new travel vlog series chronicling my boyfriend's recent visit to South Korea.

He came for the holidays (December 15th to January 2nd) and stayed a total of 18 days. Within that time period I planned a full itinerary that got us from Seoul to Gwangju to Jeonju and then finally to Busan. I'm hoping to upload at least a video a week so please do stay tuned to see more of our travels.

Take care always and see you guys with the next video (Gyeongbokgung palace and Insadong and Samcheongdong districts) very soon! ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ
