ソウルフルSeoul / Soulful Seoul②

朝起きたら雪でした。
この冬初めての雪をまさかソウルで見るとは・・・。

天気予報じゃ、晴れのはずだったんだけど、ま、仕方ない。

朝の支度に手間取り、朝ごはんの余裕なし。

近所のカフェに行ったけどお店のお姉ちゃん、、作るの遅いよぅ。

免税店巡りツアーの迎えが来ちゃうから早く～とこっちはいそいそ、

店はいたってマイペース。
私はスイートポテト・ラテを注文。韓国オリジナル？
味はさつまいものポタージュのよう。朝食にはいいかも。

ちなみに、コーヒーは入ってない味。

◆It was snowing this day!I never expected to see the first snow of this season in Seoul!I heard it would be fine according to the weather forecast though.We took too much time to get ready and had to hurry to have breakfast.Therefore, we just poped in a cafe for light meal.But staff were so slow to make ours and then we felt in our mind ''Be quick you guys!As we have to be in the robby in the hotel on time for picking up!'' Yes, we would have free shopping tour this day.I ordered a cup of sweet potato latte which is very Korea original, as I've never seen it.That taste was like a thick sweet potate soup I guess.It was gentle taste and good for breakfast.

ビビンバランチ　Bibimba　　　　　　　小皿のおかずはおかわり自由

東和、新羅の免税店を１時間ずつ回りました。

最後はロッテの免税店で解散。ランチ付のこのツアーはHISの無料ツアー。

便利でお得なのでおすすめです。

個人的には新羅免税店が好きでした。

JALカードを持ってるとVIPカード無料で発行され、

免税品がさらに１０％OFFになったから。

お目当ての時計は日本の半額以下で買えました。ラッキー。

◆We had shopping cruise for Tonfua and Shira dutyfree shops for 1hour each and it ended in Lotte DFS.This shopping tour was organized by travel agency and included transportation and Bibimba lunch, which is many kinds of flavored veges on rice and served with hot stone bowl as right photo above,and it was totally free!I liked the Shira DFS the best because I could receive fur more discount.The reason why that that DFS recently started to have a tie-up with Japan Air Line and special offer for JAL credit card holder like me!I could make VIP card for free and buy everything 10% discount!Wow luchy me!I've been thinking if I should get the watch I wanted this time and the cost was almost half price compared to Japan, so I bought it!Yeah!
サムゲタン　w12000

この日の晩ご飯は私の大好きな参鶏湯（サムゲタン）

日本の半額。そしてひとり１羽。コラーゲン摂り放題です。

スープ一滴残すことなく飲み干しました。最高（＾＾）ｖ

◆Tonight's dinner was Samgetan.This is well-cooked chiken soup and there are sticky rice,chesnuts and Korean herbal carrot inside of chiken.It makes us warm and happy for chilly winter.But nomally Korean have this in summer season.Because it's good for keeping stamina I leant it on the guidebook.Anyhow, this meal contains much collagen which is necessary for moistured and young skin and I finished having all without leaving a drop of soup; )

ソウルの夜は長い。

夜の１０時、１１時でも店も開いてる、人もいる。

それに至って安全です。

明洞（ミョンドン）、東大門（トンデムン）でお買い物のあと

ホテルに戻り、ホテル内にあったチムチルバンへ。

小規模の韓国版スーパー銭湯ってとこですね。

私はチムチルバン大好き。一度友達が連れて行ってくれてはまった。

お風呂とサウナがあって、別料金であかすりもできます。お値段も手ごろ。

男女共有の休憩スペースがあって、みんな館内着でごろごろ。

休憩場所にはだいたい特別なサウナがあるのでそれもよし。

（※塩のサウナとか薬草のサウナとか）

あかすりをやってもらって体すっきり～。

頭も洗ってくれ、マッサージもしてくれていたれりつくせり。よく眠れそう。

おすすめホテル：リバーサイドホテル（新沙駅　徒歩５分）

◆The night in Seoul is sooo long!Even it's 10 or 11 PM, many shops are still opened and there are many people on the street.It was quite safe and we didn't need to worry very much.After we finished shopping in Myondon and Tondaemun, we went back to hotel and had spa and sauna inside the hotel.Luckyly there are traditional Korean spa and sauna which name is Chimchilban that I love.One of my Korean friend Sun-Hee took me Chimchilban before and since then I'm into it.We can have a bath, sauna and skin scrabing service with addtional fee.There are common place to have a rest and men and women are lying on the warm floor together.It's fun and so relaxing!Usually there are special sauna such as salt sauna and Korean herbal sauna and so on and all can use there together.You'll be given comfortable roomwear, so you don't need to feel any shyness!Useful and comfortable hotel is following↓↓↓
