Well, I lived in South Korea for a year, but every time I went to Seoul, it would be just one or two nights trip. Nothing special. Since I left Korea in last January, so my friend, Astrid, and I planned to go around Seoul and visited some interesting places there. We left our lovely Geumgang University dorm (hiks! :'( ) on Monday, January 6th, 2014. On the night before, our friends held the last chicken party for us. It added more pains to my heart >,<
So anyway, after working on some dorm-leaving documents, we met our teacher to say good bye. And finally we left at 12:10 by the city bus.
I carried 1 big big big luggage and 2 medium-sized luggage and also a big plastic bag. Also I put 2 coats on my body which made me difficult to breath. I couldn't put one of the coats inside of my luggage since there was no more space inside. Crazy, what did I stuff my luggage with ???!!! But Astrid was more crazy than me. She carried 5 luggage hahaha and one of the luggage weight is around 35 kg !! We stopped at the bus stop and then headed off the bus terminal. If we don't bring anything, we can reach the bus terminal in 2 minutes. But while carrying those hell heavy luggage, we reached the bus terminal in ..... only 50 minutes -____- heooollll ~~~~ In every inch of our steps, we always stopped since our tiny (?) bodies couldn't afford those heavy luggage :( hahahaha
After taking 3 hours bus, we finally arrived at Gangnam bus terminal. Thank God, there were many people who helped us. And we still needed to struggle to reach the taxi stop. We finally gave up thinking about taking subway to Hongdae. It - would - be - fabulously - irrational. Around 8 PM, we checked in at the hostel and we landed on a very fluffy bed and pillow in our hostel room. We stayed in Kimchee Sinchon Guesthouse. I was the one who found this hostel when my friends and I planned a trip to Seoul to attend an auditions. It was sooooo cheap, 10.000 won. The same price as staying at the 찜질방 (jjimjilbang - sauna). So every time we stayed over in Seoul, we always reserved this hostel. No matter what. Bye bye, 찜질방 ~~ 슈 ~~~ Since we booked the hostel via Booking.com, we got a really good price to stay for 6 nights. It was only 56.000 won for 6 nights !!
After resting for a while, Astrid and I had a dinner in our favorite restaurant, Han's Deli, in Hongdae. Han's Deli is a restaurant which serves Western and Asian foods in affordable price. I ordered Chicken Katsu Omurice for 5000 won. It's fried rich covered with an omelet and served with big slices of chicken katsu. After having dinner, we just went around Hongdae and headed back to the hostel to take a rest. Our body were aching because of those heavy luggage. So our first Seoul trip will be started by visiting Nami Island ( 남이 섬 ). Check out the next post later ! See ya ! ^^
