Sky Park
Yesterday we made a trip into Seoul to hit up some sights for the first time in a while (other than our group trip to Changdeokgung last weekend).
First on the list was Hollys Coffee. We actually tried to find this spot a while back but didn't have the best directions so failed miserably (seems to be a theme for us). I found a map though so we located it with little difficulty this time...
Aaaaand it's an I Hear Your Voice shooting location! I know, I know...but this was where an adorable scene from the drama was shot so I just had to go here!
I got a delicious mint hot chocolate...wow it was so good! This is going to be my regular drink any time I go to Hollys Coffee...
Ah. It's like liquid thin mints!
It was also raining outside which sucked but was kind of sorta perfect...
I'm actually really sad because I don't think there's a Hollys Coffee anywhere near us and I want that mint hot chocolate again already, haha!
Anyway, after lunch we left back to the station and checked out the park that was nearby. It's part of Hangang Park and was really pretty. Also, you could see what I believe is City Hall from there.
Having spent enough time in the rain we took off to our next destination: Sky Park.
This park is just one of the handful of parks around the World Cup Stadium. We found that, no problem but in typical Jenee-Danielle-traveling-around fashion we were lost on how to actually get to the specific park we wanted. Go figure.
We wondered around the entire stadium trying to figure it out and trust me when I say I have no idea how we actually ended up going the right direction but we did eventually find the little shuttle bus that takes you all the way up to Sky Park (it's quite a hike if you don't take the shuttle).
I'm so glad we went in fall! It's so pretty. I really don't know what it is about Korea and parks but it's always such a pleasant experience.
And of course a park just wouldn't be a park here without some good ol' modern art and sculptures...
I really, really love the trees here. I don't think I can say that enough. They are so pretty. So many different colors...I think fall is even prettier than spring!
We walked around the park and then took the shuttle back. We had one more stop we needed to make before leaving Seoul and after a long day of walking it was a perfect spot: Mango 6.
You may recall us visiting a Mango 6 previously because of a drama called A Gentleman's Dignity. Well, this was a different branch in Gangnam and we went there because of the currently airing drama Heirs (왕관을 쓰려는자) staring Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye (and for those of you who like him: Woo Bin).
I'm really glad we were able to find it since it's located back a little from the main road. Luckily, it was still an easy walk from the station but I'm not going to say I wasn't disappointed that they weren't filming given the amount of scenes which have been shot there so far! Of course, I didn't really expect it but hey, maybe someday!
We really wanted to finish off our evening watching a movie but we just didn't have time. We already went to see Thor 2 on Friday so I guess having to wait until next week to go see another movie isn't such a bad idea, haha.
We have big plans for next weekend...going to be going on a 2-day trip with Adventure Korea. I hope this week goes quickly!
