It was the first time I went to Korea♪ Although it was a quite short trip as 2nights-3days, I enjoyed it so much! So I would write about it today.
Well, what is convenient is that the flight departs from Haneda airport! This is soooo good. Especially I can use Keikyu line which goes to the airport directly. The flight was at 15:30 so I could stay at home until noon despite I was going to overseas!
And the flight time is short as well. It took only about two hours to Gimpo airport. At the airport, a tour-guide who looked very kind woman, welcomed us and we went to the hotel by a taxi. She told us that it usually took about 30mins from the airport to Myeongdong, but it took more as the roads were busy.
OK, I can stay relaxed watching Han-gang… Wow, this is such a big river, it looks Gwoemul was jumping out from it… The signs are written in hangeul, I can’t read them at all…I’m foreigner! I was enjoying the taxi trip thinking like that, but…
…I feel sick.
…hey, taxi driver, you use brake too much.
…Where is the hotel???
…Feeling like it was eternal rather than 30mins, we arrived at the hotel.
The hotel was named “PJ hotel”. Although we were told that it is in Myeongdong area, the closest station was Chungmuro, which is the next station of Myeongdong. I thought it might be inconvenient, but there were a lot of staff who could speak Japanese, and they were really nice, the room was clean, so it was really good hotel afterall. One inconvenient thing was, though, there was no close convenience store nor shops around there. Also, it was a bit dark and there were few walking people around the hotel at night. It might be a bit scary to walk alone.
Anyway, we could finally get to Seoul. Usually we fall asleep after the dinner, but this time, we went out after 8pm… so I’ll talk about this next time.
