since all of them left
i need to travel alone now
first of all get a place to stay
suggestion from ZhengJing
found place to stay from HostelWorld.com
i got somewhere near to Hongik University Station
main purpose : clubbing life for weekend
the place i stayed was Mr Kim's Guesthouse
it's really nice place to stay as
the people there are really friendly
(including those who are staying)
they're having party almost every night
i thought that it'll be something like everybody is minding their own business only
suggestion from me is that
if you have the choice
don't stay in B1 as it's really quiet
what did i do on the 1st night
planning everything for the rest of the stay in Seoul
the sequence + way to get there (transportation)
including when should i go to Gwangju
June 10th, Friday
1st stop : 63 building
since didn't get the change to go there when arrived
now i really i wanna how gorgeous is that building
instead of merely a building
there's more attractions inside
such as 4D cinema, aquarium, art museum, was museum and even performance
i left at the wrong station so i walked for a moment to that building
it looks really awesome from the bottom
it seems so flat like u can walk on it
so i bought tickets for the art museum and the wax museum
was thinking of watching the Marionette show but it's gonna be 8pm at night
too late for me
i don't like art personally
my main purpose was to go to the top floor of the building
the weather wasn't that nice to go up actually
but the toilet is cool LOL
the design of the urinal is kinda cute
and the washing basin (fountain like)
after that was the wax museum
it was my 1st time to a was museum
some of the statues was so real that it kinda scared me
i felt like they are watching at me
i couldn't believe that they're all made from wax
+ there's a ghost house within
all in dark till it's really hard for me to see
but it's kinda scary for some of the statues
(too dark to focus on the status, so no photos)
after that
went to apgujeong
said to be a place famous for fashion, celebrities and all kind of stuff
somehow it didn't impress me
the place is kinda small and far from the subway station
there's no sign on how should i get there
+ i mistaken my way back
so i was lost again when i was leaving
then back to Hongik University area again
time to get something cheap for dinner
it's fast-food, nachos, tacos or tortilla wrapping fillings
kinda cheap i can say
around 4,000 won for a set (~RM12)
then loitering around that area
this place is really full of people
no matter which alley it is
there's people around
another shopping district around campus
back to the guesthouse again for the party tonight
when it's around 11pm+
was trying to head to the party alone
then met the people from the guesthouse
and they asked me to go later
with them and their friends who'll be coming soon
drink with the people in the house and headed to the club when tipsy
around 12am+ follow the crowd to some unknown club that's FOC
was dancing happily for a moment
then suddenly got my thumb cut...
i thought it was something light
but it's a deep cut and my blood kept dripping
i just rush to the toilet and washed it
but it still bleeding non-stop
(around 2 drops per second)
just wrapped it with tissues and left the place
told the guesthouse's owner's sister that i was about to leave
then she accompany me back
omg... i felt so embarrassed
she was supposed to have fun in the party
when reached, she woke some people up to cure my wound
so it's wrapped nicely and off to bed around 2 something
really early for party...
but i still felt bad for causing the trouble
June 11th, 2011 (Saturday)
1st meal for that day was
cake and coffee
read about the shop in some magazine
(the shop is really near to the place i stayed)
looked nice but doesn't really taste nice
it was actually okay at the 1st few bites
but it's too sweet for me to finish them
after that head to the Nanta Studio
need to get tickets for the show
with the discount voucher from Yvonne
(that's originally from Soh Yee)
so my ticket is only 10% cheaper
but still around RM150
cuz i bought VIP ticket (closer seat)
no photo shooting nor recording is allowed
so nothing to display
but the show is really nice
not only the sound effects that they're making
it's flow of the show with the title cookin'
this is a show MUST WATCH in Korea
last around 1.5 hours
since i'm in myeongdong again
went to a quite famous church there
this church is listed in almost every tour guide
it was my first time entering a church
i was stunned with the structure inside
it's so grand and awesome
i don't really know how to describe
it's just like the church from what we watch in the movie
+ there's people wedding that time
staying in the church made me wanna be a christian
i'm sort of crazy right?
i've never been to N Seoul Tower before
so this is the time
to walk there
now i know how to go there from Myeongdong already
read from traveling guide
while we are at myeongdong, facing the myeongdong station
cross the station to the other side and turn right
keep walking then turn left to the no3 tunnel (a road)
take the elevator in glass to the level above
then it's the cable car station to the N Seoul tower
long queue over there...
got round trip ticket costed 9,000won (~RM27)
and reached the tower...
for me... it's just another Busan Tower but taller
i was planning to get some coffee there but there's no seat for me
so just walking around doing nothing
since i didn't wanna go up nor entering the teddy bear museum
and saw that there'll be some laser show at 7pm
planned to wait but it's another hour to go
gave up and down the hill back to Hongdae
so walked around the shopping street since it's kinda early to go back
bunch of youngsters and boutiques, seems very happening
considered rounded the whole shopping district
and bought a pair of rings + sunglasses that i really wanted to get
so i still bought something in Seoul...
back to rest and plan for another day
before heading for another nightlife
drink with the people in the house again
this time is a bit worse
drinking normal soju is okay for me
but... i'm really down from 2 shots of hmmm....
some hard liquor... forgot it's type and name
felt better at 1st
but felt really bad and giddy in the club
i even puked twice that night >.<
was supposed to leave with the rest...
but somehow i walked back my own because
waited for them too long and i was really down
drunk till i lost my way and asked for a lot of directions back
since i finally lost my way, decided took taxi back...
then only found out that
i turned to the wrong direction at one of the junctions
mistaken right to left (as always)
at least slept peacefully till the other day
to be cont...
2nd part of Solo Seoul Tour
