STARVING~!!! =______='

We met a group of Malaysian Students there ,from UTM Skudai if I’m not mistaken].

After had a short chit chat with them, we headed to Masjid Itaewon which is located near by to perform zohor & asar prayer.

Walking up the hills (xde r hill sgt.kui3) + cool breeze~SubhanAllah..new experience for me to treasure.. (Apart from the one i experienced years ago at Cameron lah~haha)

Met a Muslim community there, most of the groceries stated as ‘HALAL’.and we do meet other Malaysian family who are on their vacation.

‘Living museum of folk history’ is the best word to describe Insadong, our next destination after we performed Solat.

We bought a lot of souvenirs from here coz I think the prices are reasonable and you have a lot of choices! different price range>

We only spent around 45mins there before we moved to Lotte world!

An amusement park! but we have tickets only for 3 major rides~hohohoho TT.TT

For those who enjoy Korean drama, here is where the shooting scene of Stairway to heaven took place!
