Excited to be able to try out this brand new SilverKris Lounge at Incheon!

On my last trip to Seoul in June, I was mockingly devastated that I was only eligible to try the Asiana Business Lounge as the SilverKris Lounge had closed in end 2018 as part of some airport planning (yes, I don’t know what exactly that means too).

So imagine my delight when I found out that Singapore Airlines has quietly re-opened their SilverKris Lounge at Incheon on 28 Oct 2019.

[Hotel Review] Courtyard Seoul Namdaemun

On By Satu KosongIn Courtyard, Executive Club Lounge, Holiday, Korea, Marriott Bonvoy, SeoulLeave a comment

This was my choice for 4 nights in Seoul for a family trip.

I surprised myself as I would usually gun for Myeongdong but this time priorities were space for 3 adults (which Myeongdong hotels typically don’t quite provide), club lounges access, and anywhere that my Marriott / Hilton status will benefit us.

So with Hilton being a little lacklustre according to my online stalking, I settled on this property after seeing mostly flattering reviews online. And its rare for Courtyards to feel like a full service Marriott which seemed to be the case.

[Travel Itenary Review] Yeouido World Night Market 2019

On By Satu KosongIn Holiday, Korea, Seoul3 Comments

While planning my trip, I realized that Conrad was in the CBD area and other than IFC Mall, I thought I need to find something else to do for my stay there.

Then I stumbled upon the Yeouido World Night Market – marketing spill as below:

A trip around the world in one night
against the backdrop of the Hangang River: A global night market with sellers from all around the world

This event is an international night market held at the Hangang River with sellers from all over the world
(thanks to partnerships with many foreign markets!) as well as a multicultural hands-on market set against the beautiful nightscape of the Hangang River that offers exotic foods, special handmade items, and unique performances by artists from a wide variety of countries!
