Korea life - day 36 (week 6) / (Seoul) IFC building / Yeoido park / 63 Building

30 Mar 2014 - day 36 (week 6) 

With the cherry blossom in the city has mainly already blossom , we didn't wait till the cherry blossoms festival at Yeouido which should be in mid-apr(it should fully blossom next week only) so we just went today

Since we are heading to a park to see cherry blossom and cycling,  we bought some food along to have a picnic there. Took the subway to Yeouido station. It was still quite early so we headed to IFC shopping centre first (since is around there too) 

[Well, is a shopping centre will tons of international brands. The prices are very similar to the price in Singapore. You can check out more here -  ]

We took the subway to yeouinaru station (which is one station away ) to mapo bridge. We had no problem to find our way there was there was a lot of people heading toward the same exit as us !!! The cherry blossoms just outside the exit was so nice that I blew my mind away !!! 

nice pic of Yeoido park 

Walked for about 5 min before we found the bicycle renter area. So many people were queueing up to rent for a bike!! There were at least 8 people in front of us but we didn't had to wait long before our turn. We had to give them our student ID card and pay to get the bike (in case we ran off with their bike) 

The cycle was so fun and weather was so good (just that there is too many people ). 1 hours cycling ended pretty fast, we found a nice view and sat down to rest, enjoy the weather and have some food. Then we headed to our last stop - 63 building. 

The timing in between shuttle bus were an hours (because it was weekend, or else the timing is shorter). Since we missed the previous bus (was looking for the bus stop when the bus just went off in front of us). So we just stand around and wait for the bus to come (as nearly has nothing for us to see too). It took us 10 min to reach there (as it drove to other shuttle bus stop too)

the shuttle bus time list / 63 building

When we reach, we were still wonder is this really 63 building as the bus stopped outside a 4-5 storey high building. Then we know that if we were to enter 63 building need to pay entrance fee (which we didn't want to) so we just walked around the shopping area. But the attractions there are too expensive for poor student like me so we stayed there for less than 10 min and we wanted to head back to the subway station. Tried walking but seem very far so we just wait for the shuttle bus back to the subway station instead.

As there is school tomorrow morning and to save money (food price there was slightly highly), so we headed back via subway before night fall and just ate a eatery near our house. After seeing the nice view of Yeoido, we decided to go back again next week (during the festival to see the full bloom)
