Korea Day 2 - Chun Cheon

Sunday, 4 May 2014

Took the bus from Sokcho to ChunCheon. At first, we were waiting outside the toilet at the supermarket and trying to get internet connection, obviously to no avail. PH then decided to venture outside to get connection while I waited there with our big luggages. >.< PH eventually came back and we made our way outside to this other food court that has better wifi connection. Bought KFC Fish Burger there for dinner since it would be hard for me to find food later. After waiting for a while, Sookyeong finally came! Really glad to see her! Since it was late, we hurried to go find dinner. Since our luggages were so big, we wanted to find a locker to store them while we explore ChunCheon. But the lockers were too small for our luggages! >.<  So Sookyeong went to help us ask the supermarket redemption counter, I think, to store our bags. Thanks to her we managed to find a place to store it for the next few hours.

& off we went to explore Chuncheon. We took a cab and Sookyeong brought us to this street which was all filled with chicken restaurants. Apparently, Dak Galbi is ChunCheon's speciality dish. Dak Galbi is a popular Korean dish generally made by stir frying marinated diced chicken with gochujang (chili pepper paste) based sauce, and other ingredients such as sliced cabbage, sweet potato, scallions, onions, perilla leaves, and tteok together on a hot plate. Its like the Myeongdong of ChunCheon and they have one whole street dedicated to it. Managed to catch up with Sookyeong while eating. After dinner, we walked around, took some pictures and made our way back to the supermarket at the bus station. We bought snacks and drinks to bring to the pension and went to redeem our luggages and made our way to the bus station to catch the last bus to Gapyeong. The bus ride costs 4,050₩ per pax.

From Gapyeong station, we then took a cab to the pension which was super ulu. Didn't help that it was late at night. Luckily we were with Sookyeong so it didn't felt that scary. It was about 10 mins ride and the place that Sookyeong booked was lovely! It was pink inside! =D

We intended to party with the snacks we bought from the supermarket earlier. PH and me decided to wash up first. However, by the time we came out, Sookyeong was already sleeping on the floor! So we positioned and covered her nicely and went to sleep. Haha.
 
Woke up the next morning to eat the breakfast.
Toffeenut Milk & Red Bean Porridge.
Sookyeong cooked the porridge for us. Well technically... you just have to put it in boiling water and after 5-10 mins open the lid and tadah... eat. =D
 
Got ready and went out and the place is even nicer during the daytime. If only we could stay longer. =(
