First day in Seoul

So today was the day that we arrived to Seoul. The flight to here was horrible. I didn't manage to sleep at all and when the plane landed at 8.20 (local time) I was already really tired. And we still had to go through custom and everything. They took our fingerprints and a photo of us. After that we went to get our luggages and to search for our airportbus. It was about 20,000won but we managed to get really close to our hostel/guesthouse. The way to our hostel from the bus stop was a nightmare. It was hot and we had to walk uphill with heavy bags. After we made it to our hostel there were three floors of stairs and NO elevator and the stairs were really small. But we made it upstairs and checkd in, we took a quick shower and met Erika afterwards. Because we were so tired we just decided to hang around in Hongdae and see how it looks like. We found a good restaurant, the owner was really friendly and spoke good english. She showed us how to eat korean food and helped us to grill the meat. When we were full we continued to Ewa to see the shopping areas. We didn't buy anything but decided to come back later. Me and Maiju went back to our hostel and were planning to go to sleep but then three Australian guys checked in and started to chat with us. They asked us if had had dinner yet and if we want to go with them. One of the owners of this place brought us to a local restaurant and orderd us food (the reseption in the hostel was empty because he was the only worker at that time). The boys said that they'll pay for us so we had a free dinner~ ^^

So, that was my first day in Korea. ^^ This trip will be awesome!
