Ewha Woman's University was Korea's first university for women. Around the streets of the university, there are many shops selling affordable and fashionable cosmetics, clothings and accessories, many for 10,000 won which is about S$12? That's really cheap!
I think the shops here cater more for the college students as the clothings seemed more casual and there are several bags shops also selling at 10,000 won each.
Hongdae is within walking distance from Ewha Woman's University. We didn't realize it is that convenient and near to get to Hongdae! Hongdae is another shopping district near a college (Hongik University) that sells lotsa clothings and accessories. It's a really happening area here with places of interests and cafes as well and at night, activities like street performances fill the streets.
We planned to visit Trick Eye Museum at Hongdae but weren't really sure where exactly it was located. We waked and walked and found it by chance. :)
Be sure to print this voucher before you visit Seoul. With this voucher, you get special rates for entry into Trick Eye Museum.
The Trick Eye Museum is located underground. The entrance is quite small but it should be visible since the signage is quite huge and there are always people walking in and out.
It is ranked the No 1 museum on tripadvisor!
We have visited the Trick Eye Museum in Sentosa, Singapore but I must say, it really pales in comparison to the one in Seoul! Firstly, the entrance fee is considerably cheaper in Seoul even without the voucher. There are more installations too and most importantly, there is no long Q!
Some installations are similar as the ones in Singapore but some are totally new or in addition to what we have in Singapore.
Besides that the ticket also covers entry into the Ice Museum!
Brrrrr..... its minus 2 degree!
It's quite a small ice exhibit area but at least its something interesting and best, you pay 1 price for 2 museums.
The ice sculpting are in Christmas mood.
It will probably take you max 10 mins to visit the ice museum.
Another popular hangout in Hongdae is the Pink House Hello Kitty Cafe. People would flock to the cafe to either take photos or to chill there.
The interior is so pinky and kawaii!
But the service staff is really slow. They cannot seem to handle the 'crowd' even though the whole cafe is not filled.
We ordered a waffle and a cake.
The food are just cute but don't expect anything more.
There are lots of street snacks and you must try their churros!
This churro from Mr Churro is really yummy.
Fried Chicken and Harshbrown!
Chicken and beer! We had to take away the chicken cos it was late and we are both not beer drinker so we didn't order any beer to go with it. Koreans really love their chicken and beer.
Night street preformances attracting a large crowd.
The fried chicken is really good. Hub polished about 2/3 off and even our little boy loves it.
