We reached Seoul!! Finally

2 September 2010, Thursday, 7.45am

We reached Incheon Airport. Finallly.
The typhoon welcomed us to Seoul. How great.
The roads were quite dirty due to the typhoon and poor trees along the roads had to withstand the strong wind. Some of them were even uprooted. Took only 2 pictures as I was too sleepy to move.





We took a taxi to our dormitory. It cost us 170 000Won for the trip. So expensive:( Upon reaching the back gate (as it is nearer to the dormitory), we still have to carry out super heavy luggage down a few flights of stairs. Checking in was successful:)

Some pictures of my room after unpacking.

My room door.


This is what you will see upon entering the room. Yes, there's a fridge...keke...so that I can put my banana milk.


View from the balcony into the room.


My desk.


The multipurpose toilet.

Daphne and I then decided to make a trip to ELC to check out if we can make a student card and alien card. Hmm..seems like we can only make them after classes start officially. And we went to open a bank account after that:)

After that, we went to eat JjaJiangMyeong. Finally.

This is how the JJM store looks like from the exterior.


The 아조머니 decided to join Daphne in the picture as well? Well, this JJM store is at Level 1.


The shop contact details found on the menu. They do deliveries too.


The side dishes, 반찬


Finally the JJM. Both of us had the same thing. JJM with sweet and sour chicken. It cost 6500Won. Filling and delicious lunch.

We heard from 언니 that we can get a phone for free if we sign up for a year contract. After lunch, we went to the phone shops to check out. As the shop keeper did not understand English, and one of them was so aggressive. We decided to get help from 민지 씨, who came to out help immediately. We then realised that as we are foreigners, we had to pay much more and the phone is not for free. I told 언니 about it and she found out another shop which can offer us free phones just like what the Koreans enjoy too. 행복 해요.

Then we went to the suprmarket and Etude house to get some of my daily neccessities. After completing them, we decide to return to our dormitory to unpack our luggage. On our way back, we saw MBC filming and we ran to see who the star was, but we do not know who was it. So disappointed:( Even though we did not know who that person was, there was a crowd around him. Refer to the picture below.

I seriously wonder who this person was.

Came back to chat with some friends through MSN, twitter etc. Watched 내 여자친구는 구미호. After that, took a short nap before heading out for dinner. We wanted to eat food from some roadside store. Those yummy ones were not there anymore. Thus we decided to venture to Myeong Dong. There weren't much of such stores around too. Managed to eat only the squid. Maybe we were too tired to explore further as well. We ended up eating Bibimpap.


The squid we had. 3000Won


The 비빔밥 I had. 6000Won


The 비빔밥 Daphne had. 6000Won

After that we walked around Myeong Dong for a while and back to dorm.
Myeong Dong has got lotsa skincare shop...Really alot.....

Once again sleepy mode....
