On the next day, guess what? They, Aiman, Miza and Lana woke up late AGAIN. So we can't go to Nami Island again. If we want to go to Nami Island, we have to leave the apartment at 6.45am and catch the 7.00am bus to Jamsil. So, change of plan again. We went to Namsan Tower instead.
Lana, being the most excited person among us all, really excited to go on the bus. But after 10 minutes on it, she started to feel cranky. Since that morning we, me, mother and Alim took care of Lana on the bus, we gave her chocolate so that she will sit down and not wanting to walk about in the but along our way to Seoul. And of course she afterwards became active. Sugar rush, people. sugar rush.

Once arrived in Seoul, we bought some bread and off we walked to the Namsan 1st cable car. There are several ways to go up to the Namsan Tower. We chose the less tired and less hiking one. We need to go on 2 cable cars before doing a bit of stairs climbing and reach the tower.

This is my 3rd times coming to Namsan Tower. I feel like a tourist guide explaining here and there. Thank god that I've read all explanation board of everything at Namsan Tower when I first came last July 2012 so I did not give any wrong information.

Me and Alim was doing some act and Mother was capturing them.
The we went to the coffee shop that is located underground from the platform of the tower. It was Lana's turn to do the act.
 |
| Fishcake. |
Mother was giving Lana water and mushroom soup. See how she acts.
Then we took some more picture of us posing at the platform. We did not went into the tower and to the top of the tower. We just enjoyed the scenery of Seoul from the highest point in Seoul.
We decided to go down since everyone is hungry already.

We decided to go to Myeong-dong for some shopping. To go there, we are passing through Hoehyeon Underground Shopping and decided to stop to buy souvenirs. We have our favourite souvenir store. The owner ahjumma is so friendly and she gave us a huge discount on all items and lots of free things. When we mentioned to her that this will be our last trip coming to Korea, she gave us more free stuff. Bless her!!!
Oh by the way, the ahjumma has a daughter, same age as Alim and he get her daughter's email address =)
We walk about and do some shopping at Myeong-dong.
 |
| we ate Lotteria AGAIN! |
 |
| shrimp burger, AGAIN |
 |
| Song Joong Ki AGAIN!!! |
Then we walk around Myeong-dong, shopping, walk and walk...

 |
| the street |
When we were waiting for the bus to go back home, we witnessed a picket that was doing on near the Myeong-dong area. We were not sure what the picket was all about.
 |
| a lot of people on the main street |
After a while, the picket ended and the road was clear, and busy as usual. As if nothing happened.
 |
| I think KBS news was there to cover the story. |
We thought that the bus will be delayed due to the picket. But is was not. Journey home was 1 1/2 hours on the bus. We were knackered. Aiman hurt his back. Hence, we decided to rest Aiman, Miza and Lana for the next day.
