Our trip’s first major mishap was on Thursday morning. Our flight from Seoul to Kuala Lumpur was scheduled to leave at 9:35 am. Thinking we would have plenty of time to get to the airport by subway, Sarah and I decided to sleep a little longer.
Seoul
Bright and early Sarah and I left for Seoul. Jill still had to work. We took a taxi to their main bus station, Usquare. It’s funny because it’s clear I can’t speak Korean but the taxi drivers will always try to talk to you anyway. It was 2,000 won to upgrade to a luxury bus (that’s like $2 so we decided to ball out).
Korea’s Favorite Pastime
We all know baseball started out as America’s favorite pastime, but did you know it’s also extremely popular in South Korea? It’s also more intense.
Gwangju
Since we got to Gwangju late our first night, Monday was pretty much our only day to explore the city. Jill gave us some options what to do since unfortunately, she had to go back to work.
Busan
Our weekend was spent in Busan, Jill’s favorite city. She loves it for it’s nicer beaches and because it has everything Seoul has to offer, without being overwhelming.
Journey to Jill
Our first day in South Korea did not go as planned, to say the least. Thankfully my friend Jill is very experienced with traveling and knows how hard it may be to get around unfamiliar places.
Gaining Courage
Tomorrow morning I leave for South Korea! Finally! My first trip since I started this blog. I am so excited, mostly because I am traveling there with one of my best friends, Sarah, to visit my other best friend, Jill (& also to chow down on some real Korean BBQ of course).
