our plane at Changi!
on the plane!After another 4 hours flight from HK we finally reach seoul! I was lucky cos the 3 seats beside me were empty so i can slp on the plane! Seoul is 1 hr ahead of us. So we reached around 5am in the morning. 5 am is pretty bright there already. 1st thing we do is to buy T-money, which is their ezlink.
on AREX to change to subway line
early morning AREX no ppl one
the panel tat shows where u areThen we took AREX which is their airport express to change subway to our hotel. Our service apartment is located at Dongdaemun Stadium which i mistook to be Dongdaemun Station, my bad and we had to change train again. Our luggages are quite heavy loh, but luckily is onli one station difference.
The description on the apartment's website says 60m from exit 12 of the station but is not true! We walked like maybe 600m? haha. It took us like almost 2 hours to travel from airport to the apartment. 1st timer, it can be faster de. But this is the cheapest method cos it cost less than 5k won ($6) per pax.
We can't check in yet cos the staff says check in time is 2pm so we left our luggage and went for breakfast! The very 1st Korean restaurant we went in we have language barrier liao. In the end we resort to pointing at the pictures. haha...

Every level has their own categories just like normal shopping mall but the onli difference is tat they do not have a shop and is more like a stall. We were all very tired cos we nv slp well on plane and i was dozing off while shopping with them at the accessories lvl! hahaha...
hello apm
looking at dressesWe then went back to the hotel lobby to rest, and 3 of us fell asleep on the sofa. Woke up like 45 mins later and asked for check in and they let us check in! like half an hr earlier. Maybe they pity us... The room is quite big, everything is for 2 so we asked for extra pillow and towel. Then we decide to slp till dinner time then go out again!
our room, on the left of my luggage is 2 working desks
our beds, which we combined to one
facing the bed is TV! but is not LCD like wat i saw from website!After nap, we went out again! First was dinner at a porridge stall which turn out to be a pleasant surprise! The Kimchi tuna porridge is very nice! As we were staying in dongdaemun area, shopping is really convenient for us! Dongdaemun shopping is divided into 2 parts - wholesale and retail. There is really a lot to shop! But not all the shop inside the wholesale mall are willing to sell one piece de.
