Hi Seoul (15 - 19 May 2008)
This is my 3rd trip to Seoul and I am travelling with my sister this time^^
Our plane delayed due to bad weather (kinda scary~) for like an hour
at Suvanabhumi Airport (Bangkok) so we reached Incheon Airport
(Seoul) late , it was almost 7 am..
Gosh and I felt extremely sleepy coz I couldn't sleep on tha plane at all!!
The plane's seat was killing me so it was very struggling^^;
At Incheon Airport , I saw a long queue of Thai people in the inspection room but luckily me and my sister didn't have to go to that
scary room, at the immigration bureau (we chose a very good looking
officer ^^;) He only asked "Is this your 3rd time to Korea?"
'Yes..sir"...."Ok, have a nice trip"..."Thank you, sir"...Ha ha ha^^
and our journey to Seoul began....
As soon as we found our way out to the limousine bus (it's like half
the price of getting a taxi and very convenient), we were shocked
by the extremely cold weather TT TT
I checked the weather forecast before travelling but for some reason
I don't know why I thought that 14 degres is equalled to 30 degrees?
so stupid of me , now...how are we going to survive since all the clothes we brought from Thailand are meant to be for Hawaii??!!
We got on the bus and I took some pictures ...
The first picture is of the Limousine bus and the second picture
looks likea scene from a Japanese drama called "Long Love Letter" ,
the scene when the world turns into a black muddish land..
I love that drama coz it's so thoughtful..ok back to my trip*
After an hour and 40 minutes, we finally reached Seoul , we took a taxi up to the hill where our guesthouse
was (Namsan Hill) and the guesthouse's name is "Namsan Guesthouse"
The location of this guesthouse is great coz it's opposite Myeongdong and
if you go up to the hill then you'll reach Seoul Tower ,
at night times when we were back to our guesthouse , we always saw
couples walking down from Seoul Tower..ohhh..so romantic~*
A picture of the guesthouse caught by my fisheye 2 lomo camera^^
This is the place which we had our first meal, just opposite Myeongdong.
They have a variety of Korean food and all we did was pointed at the pictures and they brought us the food, so yummy~ Due to the cold weather , soup dishes are the best^^
We were actually planning to go seightseeing but because of the
freezing cold weather we took the subway train to Dongdaemun ,
at least we could start our crazy shopping there^^;
Our paradise of shopping started from the 3rd building from the left called
"Hello apm" mall and spread to the other buildings....
We spent the whole day around this area ..spending money and buying stuff~
Finally, thanks to these 2 cute students who told us the way to go back to our guesthouse, I asked how to get to Myeongdong coz the subway lines are sometimes confusing and one of them was like Myeong..dong , she said it in a diffferent way but when I showed her my guide book she was like "Ah..Myeongdong"..So, I was like how come they have another Myeongdong or did I say it wrongly??
