It's my first time writing a blog and I'm pretty excited to share with you guys everything. :)
My family came to visit me in Korea during Spring Break. They stayed in an Airbnb apartment located right opposite Lotte World. It's called the Harrington Tower. The view was absolutely stunning, and I definitely would recommend the place. It takes approximately 10mins from Jamsil Station Line No.2 (Exit 3) / 10mins from Seokchon Station Line No.8 (Exit 8) . Seokchon Lake is just right infront of the apartment. There are lots of nice cafes along the street and Lotte World Mall, Lotte World, Avenue K, Lotte Department Mall is all located nearby and it would only take 10mins there.

Unfortunately, all of us missed the cherry blossoms. :(

-FIRST STOP-
KAKAO FRIENDS FLAGSHIP STORE
GANGNAM
How to go?
Take LINE 2 to Gangnam and exit 10.
Just walk all the way straight.
The flagship store is located right next to MIXXO.
RYAN 90cm doll
The characters are really cute and the Ryan plush toy is a #MUSTHAVE . But I must say, some of the items are really pricey and it's not worth it at all. We went up to the 3rd floor to try out their desserts and drink. The cakes and drinks cost around 6000won each. We got the New York Cheese Cake, Classic Chocolate Cake, Lotus Frappe and Oreo Frappe. It costs us almost RM100! *sigh*

- Next Stop-
MR.HOLMES BAKEHOUSE
GAROSUGIL
How to go?
Take LINE 3 to Sinsa and Exit 8
Walk all the way straight passing McDonalds until you reach the end of the pathway. Turn left, and you'll pass Olive Young and LOHB. Keep walking straight until you see 8seconds. Turn left and a right. Keep on walking straight. You'll pass a cafe called Arco and then 7-Eleven. Continue walking straight and you'll be able to spot Mr. Holmes on the left. It might be complicated. So I suggest using Google Map. :)
Mr. Holmes Bakehouse is located at Apgujeong-ro 10gil of Gangnam-gu.
Mr. Holmes Bakehouse is famous for their cruffins.
Croissant + Muffin = CRUFFINS ! :)
I've tried their cookies and croissant and I would say...
They're to die for. If you ever visit Korea, this place is a MUST!

Finally! I've went to Everland! Eventhough we've had such a little amount of time, it was insanely awesome. And I thank God that it did not rain because it was really cloudy the whole entire day. I recommend going on a weekday as it's not crowded at all. We didn't manage to sit the extreme roller coasters but the VR rides are incredibly awesome.
