My friends and I spent 10 days in Seoul. We got to eat so many types of food in restaurants and from street food stands, explore historical royal palaces, see views of the whole city, go to an amusement park, shop in huge malls and boutique stores, attend a Kpop concert, and even watch South Korea playing in the World Cup 2018 live with thousands of fans.

The Eats

We typically chose to eat at places that were nearby and had good reviews as we did not plan out restaurants to eat at. We had a bunch of street food, stews, fried rice, Korean BBQ, desserts, various noodle dishes, and so much more. One of my friend's parents told us about a nice buffet, the Grand Kitchen in the InterContinental Seoul Parnas, and treated us. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Son! There was so many different types of foods to eat and we were able to see the chefs dissect fresh fish in front of us. One thing I wish I did was eat more aesthetic and yummy desserts at cafes!

I also took home a lot of souvenirs! I brought an extra check-in luggage to carry these. :)
