Day 1 - Seoul

Day 1 - from Seoul airport to Seoul City

So.. after the long transit in KL, the 6 hours flight to seoul was also killing us, even thou a bigger flight from Airasia X.. We slept uncomfortably on the plane and we did made it to seoul still, and of cause our backs was aching like crazy.. I was so excited when i woke up, greeted by the sunrise when we are on the plane, feeling like a kid again.




After arriving at the Incheon airport we were kinda figuring out what's the best way to get to our backpacking hostel but still manage to find our way there, took a airport transit bus to seoul station and we thought it was not a very long ride to the city.....we were wrong, it took us 40 to 45mins to the city area, fall asleep and woke up we were still halfway through only. Finally reaching the seoul station, we got down and start taking our map out to look for the hostel, we took 30mins to walk to the hostel just realizing we should stop after seoul station and not seoul station, mind you...taking a cab will cost you a bomb unless you are rich, 70000 - 75000won flat rate from the airport to the city. We reach the hostel with sweats and a not so heavy but huge luggage, check in time is 230pm but we arrived at 9 plus 10am? Left our luggage at the lobby.

First thing I told my girl, Mandy, that I wanna look for CHROME HEARTS in seoul the very first day. We went to Gangnam by taking a train to Cheongdam and checked with the lobby guy how long will it take us to travel there and he told us 40mins and ask us to take the map there, due to some personal reason we got to rush back to the hostel to meet someone, well we reached Cheongdam after 40mins after figuring out that going to chrome hearts store nearest station would be there. But arriving there we were lost after walking down from the station, we asked around but to surprised no one knows how to speak english on the street, in the end we just hail a cab and found out we went the wrong direction!
The cab driver was nice enough to understand where we were going, it's 1km away from where we walk till. Arriving there my heart was heavy and nervous, why? cause I have always want a chrome hearts ring since young. Don't know why....anyhow we found out way there but not by cab the driver uses his GPS to find his way there, CH is right behind in some corner that I found after walking awhile.





 We bought 2 rings! ...
