Aside from those beauty shops, we also notice that Korea has also a lot of coffee shops. Every where you go there's always coffee shop and the its not just an ordinary shop but mostly is a Theme Cafe.

As they say EWHA is Korea's largest underground campus. The lower levels contain a library, bookster, gym, movie theater, cafes, and other cultural facilities while the 1st level visitors can find lecture room and an eco-park

There's also quite a lot of Korean Skin Care Shop along the street. 

Well, I guess it will not be Korea if I don't see any beauty shop around

Again, we are early thats why most of the street vendor and shops are not yet opened.

this explain how cold the weather is, even the statue has to wear scarf hahahah

 Walking along the Unhyeongung Palace

 Unhyeongung Palace entrance

 I think this is the only palace that is free to public.

 This day was a public holiday in Korea. They're celebrating Seollal (Lunar New Year / Korean New Year's Day). That's why the reporter was wearing Hanbok (Korea's Traditional dress) and there are traditional game in the Palace for public to play.

 They're playing Korea's traditional game

This hot drink perfectly warm us inside in a cold weather.

 Norakdang were used as the inner quarters.

 After we tour the Unhyeongung Palace, we are so excited to try traditional hanbok experience for the second time. But this time, it was quite challenging because we take off our winter jacket and its freezing cold outside. 

 While waiting for our turn, mirror shot first! :)

The outdoor hanbok experience begins

 We asked someone to take us a photo and we also return the favour.

 The cold never bother us anyway... hehehe
