Seoul. July 21-24, 2010
I first saw this hotel when I went to Korea a couple of years back and noticed how awesome the location is.
Ibis hotels are affiliated with the Accor group (Sofitel) and they both have the same lobby scent.

It’s in front of Zara, Lotte Young Plaza, Lotte World, and is right smack in Myeongdong. I seriously doubt that i’ll have to take the subway to anywhere during this trip. There’s an H&M and a Forever21, plus ALand, which sells MMMG items since the MMMG store moved and is still under construction.
Mom and I, plus our Korean friends had dinner, but since we were too hungry, we didn’t take the usual snapshots. Mom had ginseng chicken and I had bibimbap. We order exactly the same thing at our neighborhood Korean restaurant in Alabang, but now we’re eating it in context.
My mom and I are sharing the twin room.
