We arrived safely this morning around 4:15 Korean time, meaning around 2:00 for you Americans. We slept the majority of the 14 hour flight, believe it or not. I didn't know I was capable of sleeping that much at one time, but the past few days have caught up to me apparently. And maybe God is preparing me to NOT sleep at all on the way home. Oh lordy...
Whatever the case may be, I'm grateful we are well rested because I'm updating this from the Incheon Airport, where is it 6:45 am. Remember the part where I said we landed around 4:15? We have been patiently waiting for our van service to pick us up, but that doesn't seem to be happening. Things could be worse. I mean we are sitting in a nice airport with free wifi while eating Dunkin Donuts. Holt's Korean office opens at 9:00 (I think) so we will either call and tell them their van service never showed, or we will get one of the hundreds of taxis/buses/vans outside to take us. Never fear, we will get to our hotel at some point today.
Today is a free day for us. We will have our city tour tomorrow in the morning, and then tomorrow afternoon will be another free time for us. I'm hoping our hotel can schedule us a tour of the DMZ tomorrow. It's the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. I would love to tell you all about it, but I don't know much about it. More on that later, if we get it scheduled. I would love to hit up some of the markets today and get some prizes to take back home. Santa Clause is coming soon, after all! ;)
Until next time....
Insa-dong is the best market to go to...don't let tour guides take you to Itaewon, it's full of foreign stuff!!
ReplyDeleteTry to sample takgalbi, galbi, tteokbokki, and banana milk. If you get the chance to do grilled eel, DO IT!! Careful with the soju.
Also, Gyeongbeokgung palace is beautiful and right next to Insa-dong.
Have fun and LOVE ON GIA!
