Travel makes my life less ordinary

Namiseom island is one of the popular travel destinations near Seoul, famouse for its beautiful scenery and plenty of photo opportunities.

That's because you need to travel by subway and change to a train from Cheongyanni Station. Anyway, I find it pretty easy to navigate from Insadong (where we stayed) to Cheongyanni Station. We then took the standard train, approximately 1hr 30mins to Gapyeong Station. On crowded days, be prepared to stand your way.   There are 2 ways to get to Namiseom Island.

It was not scary at all and the moment you take flight, you'll be mesmerised by the beauty before your eyes.  Namiseom Island...

Like any ordinary tourist, my aim was to buy these cosmetics at reasonable prices. There were many promotions during my visit and hence my objective was met and I'm super satisfied with my purchases.   Other than being a shopping paradise, Myeongdong has got lots of street food. My personal favourite was the push-cart there sells freshly squeezed lemon juice. It's a little sour and sweet, def...
