Seoul Day 26- Exam day, Classroom, Namsan Tower, Teddy Bear Museum, Shinsegae and Noraebang

As seen on the title, we toured the "most" that day!

We had our exams (if my memory did not fail me... cos I remembered myself completing the paper and went out of the room to snap photos of the B2 ahhaha)



This is how every teaching assistant of different modules will show before the class! To inform everyone of the latest updates e.g. the activities tour and graduation!


in class! and some last minute studying of the case on Hyundai Motor!


No idea why I actually took photo of the ladies... hmm lol perhaps I love to shit so much even in school thats why i kinda feel an attachment to this toilet (the right cubicle to be exact)


They have the sanitary pad vending machine in the ladies!


outside the classroom! Its damn near the toilet... hahahah strategic location! and super near the water cooler! The water cooler provides us with paper pocket to hold the water if you dont have a bottle!


Im always interested in the purpose of this room... Breakout room hmm


FLO-Zone in the International Hall where my classroom for module and korean class are at! Apparently, korean students are encouraged to speak non-korean here... but I always hear them speaking their local language... unless foreigners approach them haahah


The room! waiting for wenjing :)


the open field we always walk, to our classroom!













thats the skku shuttle bus! not free of charge! you have to pay for it! somewhat lesser than 1000won i think!


Lunch! Bibimbap for the both of us







At the subway station! We are going to namsan tower first afterwhich meet the rest at shinsaegae!

You will see this sign pasted on the floor infront of the subway doors!




To Namsan Tower (Teddy Bear Museum, Love Locks, Observatory): Cable car and Bus

By Bus:
Take to Chungmuro Station Line 3,4 exit 2. You will see a bus station (it does not have a proper shelter... its just a bus flagpole that has numbers of the different buses) Take Bus 2 to N Seoul Tower Bus Stop! You can use your Tmoney! Before the N tower bus stop, there will be a Namsan bus stop or something, dont alight wrongly! Namsan Tower bus stop usually has the most passengers alight and boarding! and its pretty obvious! Bus is pretty convenient! it just spirals up the mountain!
Once reached the Namsan tower bus stop, just see the signboard, follow them, climb up the slope (no stairs), you should see the tower in no time! its just a short distance! about 100-150m?

going up the mountain!




reached!



 follow this signboard!


the bus stop area!


the start of the slope climbing!




while we were climbing, there was a group of uncle tourists who came "an nyeong ha se yo" to us =.= like damn loudly! and continuously!


improper footwear...

the slope!


this uncle is one of the annoying ones!


spot the tower from the slope!



tower is damn tall that I kept switching position to capture the top of the tower!!! I even resorted to squatting down and moving further backwards!






Once reached the top of the slope by foot, you will see the love love plant as photographed above! On the same level, you should see this ticketing counter!



the counter speaks English too!


After getting tickets, we went to take photos of the scenery and love locks!









Love locks christmas tree is located on the same level as the ticketing counter. On that level, you have souvenir shop that sells the love locks, teddy bear items, cafe etc






inside the souvenir shop!





creative!! ah how I wish... itll be so nice!!


the locks!


I wanted to get one of this! Either as a souvenir to bring home or to place the lock at the tower itself like many others (to lock the love in my family!)

Costs about 8000 to 10,000won


this is on the 2nd floor. above the ticketing counter!




RUST LEH

Tower entrance! Teddy bear museum and the Observatory.







Get the ticket from the ticketing counter! There are 2 museums! one for the ancient another for the modern! 1 ticket for 2 entrances!

Below is how you enter! scan your own ticket and enter!

REMEMBER?!?!!?? GOONG!! PRINCESS HOURS! by park eun hye and Song Ji Hyo!!


Gangnam Style!






Princess hours bear bear!! :)

Apparently the chairs with the princess hours bears are quite popular with tourists! So be sure to snap a photo!

The end of the second exhibition hall leads us to the souvenir shop! and I got myself a teddy bear museum pencil case for 8000won! Now, its holding my makeup kits!

Time to meet the rest! We thought that taking cable car down the mountain would be nice since Ive not tried it before!

Just to note: Bus up and Cable car down is a good option!!

Its outside the ticketing counter! you should see this pavillion!


Walk away from the tower you should see this!


then see this!



be alert of the entrance! its easily not spotted!

Get the tickets from the machine!


waiting area...


on the cable car!



On the cable car with people streaming in!


once you reached the foot of the cable car. you walk the stairs down. and you should see a diagonal elevator! Take that!

After the elevator, walk further down. You will see a underpass with this direction board!


Just follow the directions under the tunnel... you will find shinsaege and nearby stations!

And shopping! i.e. no photos lol

2 departments!

Food stuff at the basement!

Noraebang afterwards at night! we had dinner at the shinsaege basement!
