I went to South Korea last summer and it was a great experience.
Now, I’m sharing experiences and pictures for anyone wants to go to South Korea.
The first day it was a long and tired day since I spend most of my time on the air plane, and when I arrived my hotel in Seoul, which is the capital city of South Korea, it was almost 6 pm.
This is a picture I took inside the airport when I was exiting.
I took a taxi to my hotel because I didn’t know the address and it was very expensive – it cost me 100 dollars! So I suggest if you know your hotel’s address, you should take the airport bus, which is way cheaper.
My friend, Yunah, was in Seoul so when I freshened up in the hotel, she came and be my tour guide for my first night in Seoul.
We went to Myeong-dong which one of the biggest shopping center in Seoul. We took the subway for about 20 minutes (by the way, the subway system was really efficient…you can just about to anywhere if you take the subway and it only costs 2 dollars per trip) and I was fascinated by Seoul’s night life.
We went to have dinner first because we were both starving and here is a picture of the restaurant.
The famous food in this restaurant is their chicken hot pot which consists of mixed noddles, chicken breast, and some vegetables together with Korean BBQ sauce on a hot stone. It was nutritious and delicious!
After the dinner we went to many stores in Myeong-dong and I find a dessert that interested me a lot. GIANT
ICE CREAM.
Just look at the size and it only cost 2 dollars. You can find it on the street in Myeong-Dong.
After a long walk, it was 10 pm already and all the stores were starting to close, and we had decided to go to the Seoul Tower, but unfortunately we didn’t catch the bus, so we decided to go home and finally finish Day 1.
That’s the Seoul Tower behind me. It’s actually really close to Myeong-Dong and is much bigger than it appers to be.
