Seoul - First Time

Well, I went to Seoul for the first time today. It was very enjoyable! Ahhh, on the topic of Seoul, it is pronounced "soul", to purge all ambiguity. It's even spelled "Soul" under certain writing systems, so there we have it.

Anyway, Agata and I went to Itaewon, which is the international district in Seoul (so there's Western stuff and stuff from all over). First we had to navigate the subway (which is the train of Incheon that ends up underground at one point...). To get there we had to transfer 3 times or so, but it wasn't too challenging.

Yea...

The subway literally exits in the middle of Itaewon, so finding it was not a problem at all. After wandering around, we decided on eating at this little Japanese place. It was quite nice, but not overly-quick in serving us... I did take a picture of a man engaging in primitive MTS (if you don't know what that is, I'm not going to explain it).

After that, we did some shopping (and haggling) and eventually headed back home as we had dinner arrangements made with Lisa, Elise and Remi. We decided to go to the same chicken-in-red-sauce place we went on our first day. The dish was once more enjoyed by all!

To top off dinner, we went to Basking Robins and had some yummy ice cream. I had pineapple ice cream, in case you were wondering. And, to finish the evening, we went to Blackcat and met up with Morgane, one of Remi's French friends. Again, much fun was had by all.
