[Journey] A Touch of Seoul – Day #4

korea copy

If you my loyal readers are looking for a photo post that contains no Dorayaki’s long-ass story and annoying complaints about how hurt her legs were for walking too much or how much money she wasted on her postcards, you hit the right place. This was my last day in Seoul before I got back to Ho Chi Minh city. Since my flight was scheduled at 18.00, I had a whole morning for another tour.

This tour was completely free and led by a local. Remember the ajusshi I met on the day 3? He said that he would be around Insadong area in the morning, if I wanted to join him, he would pick me up at my hotel and we would go together. On my initial plan, I would spend this morning strolling around Ssamzigil to get more postcards. So walking around would be a good idea to keep me away from spending money again.  

It came as a surprise that the ajusshi was a former Korean Nation University graduate. How could he manage to get there?

The place we visited was Bukchon Hanok Village, a home to traditional houses. Photos look flawless. No Instagram filter, I swear – only a Iphone 5 creates magic haha.

One funny thing about my plane back to Ho Chi Minh city. The plane I booked was on May, 1st, 2017. In Vietnam, holiday lasted from April 28th, 2017 to May, 2nd, 2017, I guessed a lot of people would take the May, 2nd plane. So my plane was quite empty. Nobody sit in the other two seats in the same row with me. The plane did not have LCD to watch movies so there was nothing I could do except for sleeping. I just laid down, stretching my legs in the row of 3 seats – feel like flying on the business class.

Safe and sound got back to Ho Chi Minh city.
