On the second day, we woke up at noon again (vacations are meant to be relaxing, right?).

Anna was busy with work so we couldn't meet up.

We headed out to the COEX Mall  (largest underground mall in Asia)

with the American girl from Tennessee and another guy from Shanghai.

Not for shopping of course (it's way cheaper on the streets)...

but for the Kimchi Museum!

Who knew there were more than 180 kinds of kimchi?

 

Right next to the mall, there's a temple. 

What's so special about Seoul is how the city is mega developed with skyscrapers 

and ultramodern buildings, but scattered with ancient historical monuments.

I like the contrast because there's always a surprise around the corner.

The last place we went before heading back to Mr.Kim's was the Ewha U market.

There are indeed a lot of cute outfits but compared to Hong Kong,

I'm not impressed by the prices.

The fashion and trends may be different but it's quite expensive from an Asian point of view.

But if I think twice and compare to Canada, I might as well buy that black coat I saw today...
