Hello friends! Yes, that's right, I found a free shower in Seoul. Well, actually, it was at the Incheon airport, but a shower, and a free one at that, is a wonderful discovery. Particularly after a 15 hour flight. I also found a whole floor for travelers with beds, free internet, a spa and all kinds of edible goodies.
The 15 hour flight from Chicago wasn't so bad. The first five hours were uncomfortable, but I think the last ten hours were more bearable once my behind made the proper groove on the seat. After my rest in the wonderful travelers lounge, the free shower and a Dunkin' Donuts coffee, I made my way into Seoul for a self guided tour of downtown and the Gyeongbokgung Palace. It's a holiday today-their version of Thanksgiving- and families are out in full force, which has been really nice to see. I have enjoyed walking around and I have found Seoul to be beautiful, clean and friendly. I have taken pictures which I will post later.
I'm off to Insadong for some shopping and to savor some traditional Korean cuisine. See you in Bangkok!
yum yum! take pictures of the food and where you eat!
ReplyDeletelove that you didn't sweat booking the 6 vs 12 hour hotel at the airport before you left and do something you didnt want to out of fear or worry. you decided it would work out - and it did! even better than you could've imagined it sounds like. xox
