First day of the major trek around the world for weary_feet. The day was very uneventful with it being taken up by a flight from Brissie to Seoul. Weary managed to clock up 3 movies and at least 5 cans of coke so definately got her money’s worth out of the full fare flight.

Touched down at 17.30 but took til almost 19.30 to arrive at my hostel (seoul backpackers (bp)). Arrived to find out that my room was having electrical issues so I was moved to Myongdong backpackers (which is probably in a better loc’n!) Finally settled in probably around 21.30 so decided to go a get a quick bite to eat and call it a day.

Room is quite nice for a bp. Double bed, tv and ensuite! Ensuite was amusing when I went to have a shower. The shower is the style i’ve come across before but is not my fav.. it is one of the one’s that just sprays anywhere.. no designated showering area.. Anyway managed to put water everywhere esp on the toilet….. The toilet is also one i’ve come across before here in Korea.. it is a bidet and toilet in one.. which is fine except all of the controls are in korean…… spent a good 5 mins pressing all of the buttons to work out which one flushed, meanwhile water was going everywhere, air was blasting etc… Clearly i’m not that refined because some of the features on this bidet are unexpected…………

Nothing else to report so will sign out for the night.. Off tomorrow to shop at Nandaemun and Tongdaemun.
