Checked in early at t1 – went to t2 to kaypoh abit b4 chagia walked me to my gate when he ended work – so sweet. I was pretty excited about travelling on flight all by myself!

4.05pm – cathay flight to HK, I was entitled to the whole row – the whole section was almost empty yet, the air crew forgot to give me earphones, despite my requests for them.

reached HK at 8pm and had to stay in transit for 4 hours before boarding the next flight to Seoul, Incheon. Walked around and ate popeye’s for 2 hours before settling down to watch my show and trying to surf net – pity hk wireless is weird, couldn’t get onto msn. Sigh, ah nic must be waiting and waiting for me to be online. he was nice enuff to call me just to check if i was fine :)

And funny thing is there were no obvious information counters and no 24 hour convenience stores. What if pple need emergency items while in transit – having the perfume shop open will not help! Am glad changi airport has 7-eleven

Oh well, so at 1220am I boarded the flight – strangely the whole flight was so crowded, unlike the flight from SIN to HK, there were mainly Koreans. They all did one thing the moment they got settled in their seats – took off their shoes – so I did the same!shiok la:)

5am: I finally reached Seoul! The pre-mixes I bought for jean plus the pandan cake her mum passed to me were getting heavier by the minute – so relieved! Sadly, the Korean airport has NO trolleys until u reach the baggage area. I had to drag 2 huge luggage – mine plus jean’s filled with her clothes to prepare for the cold weather.

Took the bus from the airport to meet her at cheongnyangi – finally reached her place – with no lifts, we had to drag the luggage up FOUR floors. Made my first friend – chiko sshi from Osaka, japan! And her room mate atzu onni :)

Jean brought me around her school before meeting up with chiko to eat my FIRST meal in Seoul – my favourite bibimbab. Cost 4500W which is S$6. Hmmm, with all the Korean eateries popping up back home, it’s nothing special, the prices back home are pretty similar too – but I felt satisfied nevertheless – kimchi, kim (seaweed) and fish cake was yummy! I love panchan (side dishes)!!

Next was Shopping at edae, walking on the piano street, chongaychon river (it’s a really clean man made river so we sat on steps and soaked our feet in it for a good 30 minutes – so refreshingly cool!), jajangmeon for dinner – tastes normal lor, just that the noodles are really smooth and goes down well – 3000W which is S$4. I got a t-money which is like our ez-link card, one thing different is that the t-money’s really cute! They come in small cards thingy that can be used as phone accessories – not like the boring standard ez-link cards.

Next friend made – xia ling from kao shiung, Taiwan – can click easily because we can communicate in Chinese.

Slept really early cos was tired out from the travelling – more updates tmr!

at cheongyecheon river (with my new specs i bought) - nerd look is super IN here!
