Tony Moly Dream White Magic Cream

Wah, I'm really very happy to know the magic cream dream white has arrived in Indonesia.

I have problem in my skin tone that have black circle in the eyes just like panda. :D
So it is a must buy item and I already bought in elevenia.

Very cheap just IDR 69.000 free delivery.

This dream cream have cute packaging that urge me to buy one ^_^

See you later 

Water Fuse BB Cream Dr. Jart+

Not Medicine - It's Derma Cosmetics

Their statement provocate me into trying their new BB Cream:

Water Fuse BB Cream Dr. Jart+

It's one of Korean cosmetics again even unlike its competitor that have cute and girly packaging, they prefer being simple and elegant.

Their price is kinda expensive in the BB Cream $36 in sephora, and IDR 485.000 in Lotte DS Jakarta.

Claimed to be BB Cream for dark skin and for dry skin I keep trying though my skin color is fair and oily -____-

Here their looks: 

Even they looks thick but they not thick at all. They are light just like a lotion in my skin. And they blend pretty fast and my skin looks more healthy.

I like the result of Dr. Jart+ BB Cream 

I think this BB Cream is pretty clear so they 

will suit any of your skin colour from fair to tan :)

Another plus side is they have SPF25 to protect us under the sun

It's worth trying..But not sure will repurchase or not.

When I finish this must be another new brand has come out.

Yeah cosmetic industry grows so fast! :p

Bedanya KORAIL, AREX, dan METRO

Ada seorang temen yang bertanya, apa sih bedanya KORAIL, AREX, dan METRO?

Jadi inget gw dulu juga puyeng nyari perbedaannya ampe bongkar2 google :p

Nah ini gw rangkumin sekarang biar ga lupa :p :

1. KORAIL

web:http://info.korail.com/2007/eng/est/est01000/w_est01100.jsp

Korail dibagi 2: Korea Airport Railroad atau Korail biasa

a. Korail Airport Railroad:  Ini adalah kereta yang gw pakai dari Airport ke Hongik University Station.

Kereta ini berhenti di 8 stasiun yaitu: Incheon Airport, Unseo, Geomam, Gyeyang, Gimpo International Airport, Digital Media City, Hongik University, Gongdeok, dan Seoul Station.

Alasan inilah yang membuat gw mencari guesthouse di daerah Hongik University Station (Hongdae). Jadi dari airport langsung aja naik Korail Airport Railroad, sekitar 5000won dari Incheon Airport ke Hongdae dan memakan waktu sekitar 1,5 jam.

b. Korail biasa melayani rute luar kota mulai dari Seoul ke Suwon, Daejeon, Ulsan, Gupo sampai ke Busan

2.AREX

web: https://www.arex.or.kr/jsp/eng/index.jsp 

AREX ini sebenernya sama aja beli tiketnya di Airport juga. Mesin beli tiketnya juga jadi satu dengan Korail. NGGA jadi satu, di seberangnya, jadi ceritanya waktu itu gw mau beli tiket ke Hongdae, kok pilihannya cuman Seoul Station doang?????? gimana iniiiiii???? ternyata di seberangnya,  buakakakkakaakkk  Kepanjangan dari Airport Express. Jadi kalo di Korail kita bisa bebas milih mau berenti di station mana, kalo AREX  ini langsung cuman 1 aja ke Seoul Station. Harga tiketnya 8000won, namanya juga express, jadi cuman 45 menit dari Incheon Airport ke Seoul Station, dan berlaku juga sebaliknya.

3. METRO

Metro ini perusahaan yang mengoperasikan subway di Seoul. Rutenya ajegileeeee..... buat yang merasa MRT di Singapore petanya ruwet, ini lebih ruwet lagi -___- Bukan ruwet sih lebih tepatnya lebih banyak station, wkakakkaaaa bayangin kalo lagi ga ada kerjaan berhenti di setiap station gitu berapa minggu yang dihabisin yak? :p Tapi subwaynya nyaman bangett kok tempat duduknya, meskipun tetep aja di beberapa subway ga stroller friendly, susah bawa kereta bayi, juga susah bawa koper (seperti sayahh *_* )

Satu hal lagi tentang Seoul subway: misal kita di Seoul station, jadi arah ke kiri dan ke kanannya itu station sesudahnya(NEXT station), bukan LAST station seperti di Singapore. Lebih enak sih, menurut guee :)

Trus bayarnya pake apa?

1. Cash: beli di tiap station ada mesin yang jual tiket ^^

2. T-money:

T-money ini seperti Octopus card di Hongkong, atau EZ card di Singapore. Bisa buat naik subway, arex, ama korail, bahkan bisa buat belanja di seven-eleven (7-11)

3. Korea Pass:

Korea Pass ini dibedakan untuk Seoul dan Busan, untuk Seoul hanya bisa dipakai di Seoul, untuk Busan juga hanya bisa dipakai di Busan. Ini kartu khusus untuk foreigner dalam rangka program Visit Korea 2012. Tapi kartu ini ga bisa buat beli tiket AREX atopun KORAIL, jadi cuman subway, ama belanja2 aja di toko-toko kayak Lotte DS, Lottemart, Hello apm dan Doota juga banyak yg bisa. :)

Sekian sekilas infoh, semoga berguna

Cheonggyecheon Stream, Free Foot Spa

First time I learned the map of Seoul before my travel, I read something strange in some river, example between Dongdaemun and Gwanjang market. Those two are on my itinerary and I plan to walk through the "Cheonggyecheon Stream" What kind of stream is that? Some says it's "Free Foot Spa" Haaaaaaaaaaa......jukgetdaaaaaaaa ^____^ Which other country have free foot spa for everyone? :D

I never imagine have such folliage in a big city such as Seoul. Seeing greenery like in the forest in the middle of crowded and packed city give relax atmosphere especially after spending whole day walking. Look at the photos below:

I imagine like heaven in the earth to enjoy free foot spa after shopping whole day, LOL. Chillaxing treat for our feet after a long day tour around South Koreaaaaa. Relaxing, eating snacks while watching modern building and people busy walking in a breeze atmosphere I feel I can spend hours there. Look at those clean water flow.

Sometimes in November there are Lantern Festival in Cheonggyecheon Stream. Make sure you check the date before you visit ^^

Night view also wonderful:

These video below are my dreams...If I come to Seoul in spring or autumn will be awesome!!! Some locals also enjoy the free foot spa.

Buttt, since I come to Seoul in winter....all I can see is snow and cold water! I dare not to open my shoes enjoy free foot spa, everyone will think I'm crazy girl -___- My dream was broken, huhuhuuuuuuu. Just taking this pic. I'm standing in the bridge after walking from Doosan Tower, walk along pyeongchang market, the right side is Pyeongchang market, and the right side is Gwanjang market, where I bought my dinner there :)

If you plan to visit Seoul in spring or autumn, make sure to enjoy free foot spa there. More info about Cheonggyecheon Stream: HERE
