Seoul - Day I

I got back from my trip Saturday night and after 2 days of.. well, nothing, it's time for me to get started on the Seoul posts. To be honest, I originally told myself that I was going to put up pictures of Day I & II tonight but I'm already falling asleep. These posts are going to have too many boring details but that's because that's how V and Catherine enjoy their travel reports ;)

Monday 2/14, DAY I

My flight to Seoul was at 8:30am so I arrived very early at Hongqiao Airport. Unfortunately, my sleep schedule was completely screwed up (shifted to "on vacation" schedule) so I didn't succeed in sleeping before my flight. I arrived in Seoul Kimpo airport at 11:30am where Kyunmi (my old classmate and host during this trip) and two other Korean friends welcomed me.


We decided to take it easy for my first day and took a bus to the World Trade Center. We hung out in COEX Mall which was full of cool young Koreans, all wearing letterman jackets or that green coat, skirt + black tights + sneakers, etc. (What's up with that, really). We also ate lunch in the mall's bright food court and then watched Tangled.



Udon, Kimchi fried rice, rice omelette and pork.

In late afternoon, Kyunmi and I made our way back to her family's apartment. The whole week I had trouble communicating with her parents and little sister because they didn't know much English or Chinese and I only knew a few Korean words. They were so sweet to me anyways. We ate bulgogi for dinner which I forgot to photograph BUT it will make an appearance on another day. Kyunmi and I passed out by 9:30pm while watching/making fun of Paradise Ranch.

The following days are much more eventful, ha! I was just too tired that day to handle anything more than that.
