Flying at night can be quite boring. Especially when you can’t sleep and babies are\u00a0screaming\u00a0their asses off all around you.
\nSo I watch some episodes of Friends and Suits for\u00a0a\u00a0few hours and around 4:30 in the morning, we land to Seoul-Incheon Airport.<\/p>\n

I’m staying at\u00a0Namsan Gil House<\/a> for 3 nights. Unfortunately, an early check-in was not possible (given that I’ve arrived at 5 in the morning), so again I found myself running in circles around the city of Seoul, dragging 20 kg of luggage behind me.
\nAround 2 PM, the guy from the desk shows me to my room, at first floor, a decent room with plenty of space, and quite\u00a0clean. It had a private bathroom and a shared kitchen downstairs.<\/p>\n

The city<\/h4>\n

First thing I noticed about Seoul was… hobos<\/em>. A whole lot of them! Especially near the Seoul train station. The streets aren’t very clean, and people seem rather impatient.<\/p>\n

In the more touristic areas, though, things look much better.<\/p>\n

Seoul felt like a pretty short trip.
\nI don’t wanna say it was a bust, but I was so tired in Seoul that most of the time I slept. I went\u00a0outside mostly at night, crawling for food.<\/p>\n

I am\u00a0happy for leaving Seoul to a place where I’ll be staying more than 3 or 4 days, ie. one month in Vietnam!<\/p>\n

Next — 1 month in Vietnam, Hai Phong<\/a>.<\/p>\n
