I forgot about the existence of this blog, its been 1 year since I've touched it. And I didn't even complete the last Korea trip's story!! The laziness in me will never improved so if I don't complete a 3 months worth of story.... Don't say I didn't warn you....
The previous time I was in Korea, I was with friends that have been to Korea more than 3 times. And all I do was to follow, they go left, I'll just go left. The only time I was alone previously was like 30mins when I went to buy an album. It wasn't my first time but it felt like it was, except within Myeongdong itself.
Had always believe that I had the hang of things, but the first ever city train ride alone was disastrous that made me knew that I actually overestimated myself. A ride to Hongdae for dinner was suppose to take maximum 30 minutes took me over an hour to get there. There is something I hate about Seoul's Subway, is that once you take the wrong train, wrong side, you have to walk quite a long distance to take the train back to the opposite side. Sometimes, you even have to tap out to cross over. Paying for your own mistakes I guess? Wouldn't it be nice to just cross the platform if you overslept your station? That's a total me.
My first trip to Korea, I went back saying that "Everywhere is WIFI-ed!! so I don't have to worry and just get a non-3g phone!!" however I was soooo wrong. My house's wifi was so screwed, skyping back home was even a problem. Furthermore, I have NEVER connected to my school's wifi. Where was the WIFI everywhere moment? Spent like 2 weeks, having no on going WIFI and bad WIFI at home was a killer. I didn't know how to survive those 2 weeks. Went to the computer lab once early in the morning and refuse to bulge from my seat so I can use the computer for hours to recover from wifi-less side effects. Stood by the sidewalk just to use the wifi below Mr Pizza so I can contact my friends and ask them to help convey messages. It was craziness, thank god for the very expensive Olleh Egg that I've got now.
It was my second day in Seoul and I went to Coffee Bean for a drink with a foreigner (awkward much) after my placement test. I got notified that Mr Leader was going to Kona Beans at 5pm and after reading it, I couldn't reply anybody, I couldn't get further connection in Coffee Bean. I was totally panicking out but I survived somehow rushed home and to Kona Beans before Mr Leader strutted in like a gorgeous model.
It were days where SPAO was a must stay for an hour to use WIFI... Constantly refreshing to find Seoul Wifi on the streets of Myeongdong, walking to the subway after school so I could stop and stand by Mr Pizza to whatsapp. Those days are gone and I feel more alive. HAHA. My dramatic descriptions are so vast when I'm going to bed I guess.
