My Solitaire Wedding

TRIP DATE: 12 APRIL 2017 Day 1:  Seoul, myeong dong shopping for cosmetics Dinner at Bonjuk at Myeong Dong and Myeong Dong street food Seoul: Ibis Ambassador Seoul Myeong Dong To do: Arrived to Seoul safely. What with all the North Korea threats on their trial nuclear tests and china banning tourists from travelling to South Korea due to political reasons.  Upon alighting from the plan, we need to queue for a shuttle. The shuttle is to ferry all arriving passengers to the customs clearance and the main airport where all the shopping and food is. We only manage to board the 3rd shuttle train due to the long queue. Did not do much today except for booking the KTX tickets at the tourist information centre. Its quite a distance from where the arrival hall. We also got our t money, its useful as we do not need to get tickets and just top up adequate money and we are good to go. There is also a queue for the sim card.  To eat: Bonjuk...

I've been coming to this facial since 2014 and i always enjoyed my session with my therapist Cammie who always make me feel at ease. I am also comforted by the fact that this is a big name brand not those facial salons that could shutter up anytime with no compensation. So its kind of sad to find out during my facial that it might be my last. SKII is closing by Jun 15, 2017 and they won't be continuing when Tangs reopen their facial counters at level 4.
