7th Apr 2010

 안녕(annyeong)! The first day I arrived it was already 7pm at night. The weather was freezing (below 10 deg) and I'm just wearing 1 layer plus a jacket. From the airport, it was straight to the airport bus 6011. Seoul is located 1hr from Incheon international airport and is very accessible via the different airport buses which will bring you to different parts of Seoul. The airport bus ticket cost 9000won (S$11) for one trip (can be purchased at the airport bus counter at the airport) which was cheap compare to taking a cab which probably costs around S$100.




After an hour's ride and some searching, I finally found my hostel, Banana Backpackers which is tucked away at one corner of a small street. Located 200m away from Anguk station, it cost 35000won (S$43) per night, single room ensuite with one night free if you stayed for 7 nights which is considered cheap. I was given a double room instead =). The hostel was rather clean and people were friendly and able to speak english fluently. The only bad thing about the room was that it was really minimal - no TV, no hangers, no cupboards. TV is in located at the living room area. They do provide towels but you have to ask for it at the counter. Plastic bags for rubbish is also provided. By the way, unlike singapore, toilet paper down the toliet bowl is no no....else you end up with a clogged toilet bowel. So ALL toilet paper is into the bin. After a while you sort of get used to it.


The day I reached someone apparently used up all the hot water in the water tank. So no shower for me (anyway, it was freezing cold for shower) that night :( I decided to bathe in the morning each day instead where it is less cold =) so it is off to sleep for me zzzz.
