Seoul 서울 No Worries

Leaving Seoul is a sad day for me, great food, anywhere Wi-Fi available, I am sure, my next Asian trip is awaiting me soon


Seoul 서울 Hongik University

The Hongik University district is good for shopping in cheap quality food. Lots of students especially at night. I was going here as I wanted to buy a Polo University Shirt but unfortunately there was no such a shop

Seoul 서울 Senior riding bicycle

Harldy to see anybody riding bicycle in the city but here are two Seniors

Seoul 서울 Myeongdong

Myeong Dong is one of the shopping places to go, especially the exchange rates at the little counters are much better than compared to the bank exchange rate. Here you can buy any kind of clothes you like for a (usual) reasonable price.













Leave your bags at the table while you are at the counter, the crime rate seems to be almost zero - even in Seoul


Seoul 서울 Korean Thanksgiving

Due to the Korean Thanksgiving Holiday almost no shop is open, hence it was kind of a boring day for me to walk around but to relax



The only shops shopen were 24/7 shops, several coffee shops and the Lotte duty free department store (which was on top of the Lotte "regular" stores). In order to get up I needed to go the dedicated elevator and to go up
