++ Seoul Trip - First Impressions. ++
It was about 6am when our flight reached the Incheon international airport. The 6-hours direct flight nearly took my life, as a more-hyperactive-than-usual person, I don't sit well in one spot, it's a must for me to move around, or wriggle my butt, but how in the world am I supposed to do this in a darn cramped economy-class seat. God! Anyway, did I tell you about the return flight? It was way worse. Seriously, I rather spend a little more to save my life.

The five of us (Wangting, Yizhen, Weijie, Francis, and myself) got our luggages, and head towards the convience store to get some munch and get a T-Money (or T-card), it serves as a cash card, which can be used for travelling around, and buying things in selected stalls.

First impression: Their cigarettes are damn cheap. On average its at W3000 per pack, which converts to around SGD$3.30. For those who doesn't know how much it costs here, its more than 3 times the price.

Hyehwa, our next stop, it's over where our first accomodation is. So we got into a subway and headed over.


Spider-web.

First impression: Despite there are no laws that say no-eating on train, they are incredibly neat and clean. Note: People do eat and drink in trains. For your own information, you get fine for consuming in Singapore trains. Yes. We are a FINE country.

Alright, we got out of the train station.

First impression: It's freaking freezing! Everyone was literally smoking from their mouths. The first few days are bad, but surprisingly, I adapted quite quickly. I seriously thought I would catch a cold and walk around with tissues stuffed up my nostrils. I didn't even wear my down jacket which I bought specially for this trip.

I quickly whipped out my gloves and stuffed my hands in. It's cold nevertheless, but it helps greatly. We walked around trying to figure out where our hostel, Backpackers INSIDE is located. And thank God, we found it quick.


Korea's sun.


You know all that time, I had this wrapper with me. I was wondering where I can throw it away, I look around and found no bins.

First impression: There are few bins in Seoul, more recycle bin. That's a good idea actually, Singapore definitely should have this. As a green city, I don't see people reducing wastage, reusing materials and recycling stuff.

I was thinking of putting the delicacies of Seoul here, but I figure out that it would be too long for a post.

it's 8:58 PM now on Tuesday, December 28, 2010

We dwell
We breed in your blood
We are the taste at
the tip of your tongue
Essence of fear blends with our skin
Crass as we may seem
Our life secluded
Fate deceit
We thwart our pain
In darkness we live
