I went on a 3-night, 4-day trip to Seoul with my mom. We flew with Air Seoul and used Trifa eSIM, which was easy to set up. I had some trouble finding an SD card but eventually got one at Lotte Hi-Mart. We enjoyed various Korean foods like Ganjang Gejang at Seungmine Haengbokgaejang, moksal, kalguksu at Jojo Kalguksu, and Seolleongtang. We also had a fancy course meal at Compierre. For shopping, we visited Olive Young, Daiso, Miro Miro, and Hetras. I also got a foot massage at Tiffanghi Massage and permanent eyebrow makeup. Despite some cold weather and a sore throat, we had a great time. — Seoul · Myeongdong

Despite a huge line, the bread at Artist Bakery was delicious. I enjoyed the cheese honey salt, garlic, and honey butter cheese bread, along with the tomato rosé soup. I also bought some souvenirs and a tumbler.

I successfully found a 128GB SD card here, which was the biggest one they had, though it was a painful expense.

We had a set course meal at the counter in this amazing restaurant. The eel and meat dishes were delicious, and the dessert was amazing. It's quite pricey but perfect for a date, a trip with your mom, or a birthday dinner with friends.

We waited in line for lunch at this popular place. I ordered the half and half, and the non-spicy kalguksu was really delicious, especially the kimchi.

My feet were tired, so I got a massage here. It was my first massage in Korea and it was great; I felt refreshed and my feet were so light.
