Peak Eye Health

Vlog itinerary here:

Day 1 – We flew from Taipei Taoyuan International Airport to Incheon Airport. We took the airport express train to Seoul station. It takes about 1 hr from the airport. By the time we got there, it was late at night so the day was pretty much over. We decided to go to Gangnam and check out a jimjilbang korean spa to have some spa time after spending a few hours in an airline. After the spa, we walked around the gangnam area and found an intestine shop and had late night meat and soju before ending the night.

Day 2

Started out by grabbing coffee and walked around . Headed toward the palace and eventually walked to jongak station to go to bukhansan to hike up the peak. Had to transfer to yellow line which went straight to the bukhansan village area. Took a couple hours and it was an extra 1km from station to trailhead (both ways) 

Headed back to hotel and got cleaned up 

Walked around the hotel nearby to look for food. A lot of places still closed due to holiday so we decided to just go to myung dung street and night market. Along the way, we saw a Starbucks reserve and grabbed a coffee drink along the way. In myung dong, we ate a sampling of street food. 

Afterwards, we took the subway to itaewon across the park. The first stop next to the station was where all the clubs were at. It was too loud for us so we took a cab to a different area with bars. It was a little more calmer street with a couple small bars in a more intimate setting.  Ended up getting skewers in a bar and found a fried chicken place to take home to eat.

Saturday

Decided to head up namsam tower today. Walked over because it was close to airport. Found the nammyun day mArket and grabbed a few fried foods before the hike.  Like fried pork chop, brown sugar buns, fried mando 

Views were great even though it was a cloudy day. There was even an outdoor workout area!

We spent some time at the top and had a beer at the rooftop terrace. We took the cable car down and headed to hongdae streets.

Took a cab after the cable car to go to hongdae streets. 

Got coffee at 943 kings cross — it was a cool theme cafe but it was fun for a few minutes and not really cool cafe to chill.

Found a restaurant to eat galbitang and cold noodles

Went back to hotel to clean up and use the spa. First checked out the Starex library in Gangnam and then went to the downtown Gangnam and found a kbbq spot where the nightlife was. Great spot of kbbq and cool vibes to have a drink and eat.
