After getting our tummies full, we walked around Ewha Woman's University area, also known as Ewha Woman's University Fashion Street. As what we've read from other blogs, it is a shopping haven for women so we're so excited to visit this place!
How to go? Take the subway Line 2 to Ewha Station, exit 2 or 3. Then, head straight.
We were originally planning to visit the school but haven't had the chance since it is already night time. Hence, we just maximized our time shopping in the streets. I really felt the college vibes as we walked along the lively alleyways with the students. Plus, there were many small boutiques so what else can we do? Shop 'til we drop! Hahaha. In fact, we forgot to take pictures since we are so much focused in shopping. Most of the items here are sold half the price compare in Myeongdong because it is catered for students so it was indeed a good catch. Trendy and affordable! What more can you ask for?
So here are some of the things that you can buy in Ewha:
1. Bags. There are really tons of bags here! From girly sling bags to cool backpacks. Name it and they have it! 😉
2. Eyeglasses. If you really want to achieve that perfect korean look, you must really grab these glasses from Ehwa. Though I deeply regret that I was not able to buy one.
3. Contact Lenses. Another thing to use for your perfect korean look. Tons of choices and great deals!
4. Sweatshirts. I think the clothes display depends on the weather. It was autumn when we went so that explains it. I bought good quality sweatshirts for only 500php each.
5. Shoes. There are variety of shoes here - doll shoes, sneakers, boots, etc. You can all find them very cute and stylish.
Since it is still early, we took a short detour to the famous Cheonggyecheon Stream, a public recreation space which stretches over 10km long. A perfect place for a peaceful night stroll amidst the busy city.
How to go?
Option 1. Take the subway Line 5 to Gwanghwamun Station, exit 5
Option 2. Line 1 or 2 to City Hall Station, exit 4
Luckily, there was an event when we visited. As per my research, it is called "Seoul Lantern Festival", an annual festival held every November. The theme last year was "Historic Hangang River" which was evident in the pictures below.
Even though we did not understand much the theme, we are still grateful that we had the chance to witness this festival. How about you? Have you witnessed a festival in Korea? Tell us your story! ☺
