Countdown: 99 days.
To begin with, the day started uber early @ 6:30am when Nina, Melodie and I went to school on bike to meet Nara (a Korean student who stays in Seoul). We called a cab to fetch us to Daejeon Terminal to take the Korean Train Xpress (KTX), which takes approx 49 minutes to reach Seoul station. Nara brought us around the vicinity upon arrival and we had a fun time taking photo and chilling out before we went to a palace near the area to watch a daily procession that is put up for tourism interest. I manage to take some photos with the Royal Guard!!
Noon time, Nara brought us to this famous Noodle House in City Hall (nonono, not Singapore City Hall) to eat Din Tai Fung-styled noodle & "xiao long bao." Bon appetit. Nara had to part ways with us because she had to attend a dental appointment, as well as to go home to rest and mug for tomorrow's chinese test (WTH?? Test on Sunday??). So Nina, Melodie and I formed an alliance and advance the rest of Seoul on our own. We followed Queen Nina's command to go to Gyeongbokgung station by subway to view Seoul's largest palace. The scenary is ultimately beautiful. Unfortunately, the weather and the construction deterred us from advancing further into the palace. We then head for the museum to see some historic artifacts before going to Sinchon station to chill out @ Starbucks Coffee (uh-uh, Green Tea Latte for the win!!). We walked the entire radius of the area and tour around before settling down @ a Duc-Khal-Be restaurant, but this time it is less spicy and more cheesy!! It is like you can never get enough of nice foodies in Seoul + the eye candies are definitely much better than those in Daejeon. Rock on~
Finally, we decide to walk on foot from Euljiro1(il)-ga back to Seoul station. Man, was it tiring but yet fulfiling and we had the "privilege" to watch a minor bike-vs-car accident but thank God the motorcyclist (a Pizza Hut delivery dude) was left unhurt while the car just hit and run. We managed to catch the 9:13pm normal train back to Daejeon - price 10,500 won, time 2 hours approx.
Okay, time to chill and shower. Have fun and good night people.
