The day before leaving Seoul, our last day went to a porridge restaurant for brunch.

Very crowded

Simple menu

So it was our last evening in Korea on Sunday reflecting on the past 6 days what we did as can be seen in my posts were - shopping, eating, travelling in Seoul and Busan, visiting a few tourist places like the temple in Busan and fish market.

What I was not able to post are (1) we went to do Korean spa known as jjimjilbang and also went for (2) facial treatment at AHC.

Jjimjilbang is quite an experience - first was 20mins onsen or steam room or sauna ; followed with 30mins body scrub with a very rough material I think was a towel ; finally an hour of oil massage. Was a great experience and highly recommended.

Please take note that Google map is useless in Korea this is something I am very angry with because it is so inconveniet. People tell you to use Korean maps like KakaoMap and Naver Map its not easy as your spelling and arrangement of words has to be spot-on. This is a real let down and I am very upset about this. Basically this sums up my first trip to Korea.

Last dinner Terra is my favourite beer

Pork knuckles

Hot pot

Korea was also my destination for holidays this year... Too bad it's not gonna happen. I'm looking forward to visiting it next year, maybe. Although Korea has done a great job struggling with COVID-19, at least official data says so... Maybe official data is not the real one?
