We wanted our second to the last day to be a more laid-back day, since we didn’t want to stress out the night before our flight. Well, in the case of half of my family, their flight was scheduled earlier, i.e. the night of the fourth day, so the more we wanted to give them the freedom to what they wanted to do on their last day in Korea. However, we decided to have Dongdaemun as a fixed schedule during the morning, then it was up to us how we wanted to spend the rest of the day.
We got to visit Zaha Hadid’s famous Dongdaemun Plaza design!
Towards the afternoon, we accompanied those who missed out Insa-dong on the previous day/s to the aforementioned location once again. We wanted them to get at least a feel of what the traditional souvenir area had to offer!
Towards the evening, half of my family had already left for their earlier flight. As for the rest of us, we decided to head to Hongdae for dinner, while my sister separated to meet up with her friend in Gangnam.
Originally, we scheduled to meet up with Korean locals to tour us around Hongdae, but had problems with reaching them once we’ve arrived in the area, so ended up being late due to lack of means of communication. And because of that, we decided to spontaneously change our plans and just have dinner and try out the famous chicken and beer combo in Korea for our dinner that night!
Dinner, dessert, and street performers you can commonly find in Hongdae during the evening.
