This is Gangnam, one of the famous shopping areas in Seoul. It's also widely known because of the song 'Gangnam Style'. Usually, there is horrible traffic jam in Gangnam, but I recorded it on Sunday afternoon. That's why there are less people and cars. You can also see most of the cars are from Hyundai and Kia which are Korean companies. It's really interesting. Please watch this film and learn about Gangnam. Enjoy!

WARNING: this video contains large amount of delicious cheese and endless amount of cuteness! This is the last day of my Seoul trip! We go eat lunch at Yoogane which is my favorite restaurant in Seoul. Then we head to Gangnam to hang out with Kakaofriends! Finally we go up to N Tower and enjoy the skyline of Seoul! We stayed at Hotel Aropa this time, and I definitely recommend it! 3min walk to City Hall subway station and Incheon airport bus (the stop is at THE PLAZA HOTEL), and 5min walk to Myeongdong. Hope you enjoyed my Seoul trip with me! I edited these vlogs the same night and uploaded them the next morning so you can keep up to date with my travels! Stay tuned for more travel videos like this!
