First Trip To Seoul, South Korea #1
Hello everyone,
I just came back from South Korea. It was a great trip but it was quite hot. I took the airplane about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Osaka to Seoul on Jeju Airlines. Jeju Airlines always has a promotion going on, so I got a good price from.
I was nervous when I arrived in Seoul because it was my first time traveling abroad alone and I heard South Korea’s rules are very strict for Thai people now. But everything was fine, no problem for me. I was able to continue my trip. I rented unlimited wifi for 3 days for 702 JPY. It was super cheap, unbelievable!!
I booked a hotel in near Hongik University Station but I visited Incheon city first. This city is located far away, about 1 hour by train from Incheon International airport.
Incheon Chinatown
Upon arrival at Incheon Station, if you leave through exit 1 you will see a giant gate opposite the station. After I passed through the gate I felt I was in China because all of the buildings and food are traditional Chinese.
This town is the origin of black noddles, jjajangmyeon, which are well known here. But I didn't try them this time.

Today was a weekday so I didn't see many tourists except for groups of students.
While I was taking photos, a vendor guy greeted me in Japanese. He was selling some traditional Korean food but I couldn't remember the name. I tried to ask him about the ingredients but it seemed he didn't understand me. I heard him say it was spicy, so I decided to try it. I told him this was my first trip to South Korea, and he gave me a smoothy lemon yogurt. It was a good impression on my trip. I walked around for a while and then headed to the city center.

Omg! I hope you had a great time in Seoul! :) The snack you ate is called Hotteok. Japnese people love hotteok as well!
Thank you for telling me🙂 I had a good time in Seoul even if it was hot. I will be back again but my next destination is Pusan.
