- Trimmed and coloured hair @ idHair Salon Nokbeon (아이디헤어 녹번점). Best service with hands and neck massage and iced Americano before and after hair done. Cost 86k won, quite expensive around neighbourhood area.
- Ttukseom Hangang Park (뚝섬한강공원) (2024 Han River Light performance drone light show). Live performance 7pm and drone light show 8pm. Enjoyed spectacular show put up by a thousand drones lighting up the night sky of Seoul!
- Late dinner @ Netgiri Congnamul Gukbap (넷길이콩나물국밥 본점) 2 bean spouts soup + rice + fried tofu + 2 free poached eggs. The price was good, only 21k won. Patronised by many local customers. Nice to have hot soup as the weather was cold.
