So this is just a continuation of my previous post. Of course I've a lot of places that I want to see.
Besides the really popular, I also have a few places in my mind that might not be on everyone's list but I still believe they are pretty awesome so I need to share.
Let's start~~!!
1- ITAEWON AND MYEONGDONG
As a tourist, the two key things to do in a place is to eat and to shop till you drop. Itaewon is an area that surrounds Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul and is popular for clubs, restaurants, bars and different shops that have a wide range of products selling everything from jewelry to furniture.
If I ever go to Seoul, i'll probably not bring anything with me cause once I step into Myeongdong, i'll probably go crazy when I see all these luxury brands all around me, so I'm gonna save for that. Myeongdong is a popular shopping districts that have a lot of retail stores both international and local for example Zara, H&M, Forever 21, Nature Republic, The Face Shop. There's so much to buy from here and so much to see. Its a paradise for all the fashionistas.

2- HONGDAE
Hongdae (also called, Hongik University Street) is located close by Hongik University. Since I'm only 21 right now and a person who has deep respect and interest in art and music, this is one of my favorite spots in my list. Hongdae is well known for its bars, cafe, urban street arts, underground musicians and nightlife area for the youth. Because Hongik University is near Hongdae, a university which is one of the top fine arts colleges, students from there have brighten up Hongdae with events like Street Art Exhibition, where students of the university and other artist come along to paint the streets of Hongdae and for performances. I believe it's one of the liveliest places to be at.
