I’m writing from the direct train from hongkik to the airport. I’d say we totally chose the right place to stay in seoul because it was so central to everything. Also, the subway seat I’m sitting on is heated which is pretty awesome.
Last night we had a blast hanging out with Kimberly HKUST classmate David and his Korean posse.
They took us out to eat dak galbi which is a dish with spicy chicken, cabbage, rice cakes sprinkled with cheese on top. I wish I heard about this food sooner because it was so good.
After dinner we went out to an arcade and played the latest version of pump it up which hasn’t come out in the states yet. Yup, super Asian thing to do.
So this is pretty much the end of vacation for us. I’m not signing off just yet but right now we’re on our way back to hong kong to grab the rest of the stuff and then we head home.
Overall seoul was fun. I wish we could have brought more people with us and the price of things is equivalent to the US but it was a good time. Next time, I’ll have to spend time outside of seoul to check out the countryside.
Right now, I’m feeling pretty tired from all the traveling and walking around we’ve been doing. At home I’m usually driving to my destinations and I don’t go out much so basically 3 weeks of flying, walking, and sightseeing is a lot of activity considering all the things we did.
We’re cutting it pretty short right now. It’s about 12:30pm, it takes almost an hour to get to the airport, and our international flight is at 3. Hopefully we won’t have any ticket troubles this time again.
Oh yah, one more thing. we managed to be in seoul for 5 days and not once did we hear gangnam style. 🙂
