My flight to return back to Minneapolis was at 7:30pm which meant that I had a majority of the day to make the most of it while in Seoul as long as I was packed up and ready to head to the airport at 3pm.
On Saturday morning we got an email at 3am saying that our flight out of Seoul at 7pm Sunday night with a 5pm Sunday arrival time in Minneapolis has been delayed until 8am the next day which means we wouldn’t be getting in until at least 6am.
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.
So this is pretty much the message I got from being here for the past 4 days. I’m probably wrong in thinking that but with SO many places to buy clothes, get face creams and makeup, and advertisements for plastic surgery, I really can’t help but feel like the culture puts a lot of pressure on its youth to look good.
I haven’t really kept up my daily activity posts only because we haven’t really done anything to write home about besides eating Korean bbq, Starcraft, and walking around the shopping districts in meyongdong and dongdemun.
So after much planning and anticipation the day finally came. It was the day we would go to the GOMTV station to watch people play Starcraft competitively at the GOM TV station.
Last night we got into seoul. It kind of annoys me that for a 6pm flight you must be there early therefore we left at 3pm and the entire traveling portion eats up the rest of your day.
