First days in Seoul
Blijf op de hoogte en volg Lotte
27 November 2013 | Zuid-Korea, Seoel
Sorry voor het engels! Veel likes van internationale mensen haha :) Maaarr een stuk korter dus dan moet het wel lukken!
Day 1 was good! The first flight was.. aaaaaaaaah... 11 hours in a plane with 2 little kids under the age of 3 who cried and screamed for like 9 hours. It's an understatement to say I was glad to get off the plane. BUT bright side: I didn't have anyone next te me, so I had 2 chairs to myself!! I slept throught the second flight. I arrived on time and an hour after I landed I finally was able to see Naram. I had to walk pretty far and also fill in a lot of forms, like health, arrival card en customs. It was weird but great seeing her. We went to get some food at the airport before taking a bus for an hour to the city. Incheon (the international airport) is pretty far outside the city.
We went to the Apple Backpackers, so what I said in my previous blog was wrong. We dropped my bags and went to meet Naram's parents at a tradional Korean restaurant. I had to take my shoes off and sit on the floor. The line was drawn at eating with chop sticks. I can't use them, so I got a fork haha. It was a nice dinner. Her mom didn't speak English though, so Naram and her dad translated. After dinner her dad dropped us off at Seoul Tower. You can see the whole town from up there. We met Dahee at the top, she had class until late. It was really nice and we had some coffee, before heading back to the hostel.
Today, day nr. 2, we went to Lotte World, YES LOTTE world. I have my own theme park, how cool is that?! I do see my name everywhere!! It's a big chain of all kinds of stores, so Lotte is very well known and pronunciated here. It was fun! After that we came back to the hostel, with a detour to Starbucks. Dahee had to go to class and will meet us for dinner. That is what is still on the program today: dinner and maybe some drinks. I'm still kinda tired, eventhough I slept well and 7-8 hours. So the jetlag isn't gone yet.
Well a little shorter than usual haha, so have fun reading!
Thank you for the comments already on the previous one!

Hoi mop, zo te lezen gaat het allemaal goed daar! En toch een internationale naam he, weliswaar in het koreaans maar dat is een kleinigheidje :)! Ben benieuwd naar de foto's van Seoul. Geniet nog en de groetjes aan Naram en Dahee. Xoxo, mama -
