Seoul Attack!

First of all, a pity that there are no photos to this blog! Too busy eating, seeing and dancing?

Reached Seoul in the evening, enveloped with excitement in that cool nice weather of about 20 Degree Celsius. Met up with Geenie, a buddy of mine. We could not decide what to eat as there were too many choices. Ended up with BBQ dinner in Gangnam. The dinner came along with sides like salads, sauces and we ordered spicy cold noodles too. Had the most amazing sort of plum wine, "Mae Wha Su", in a dainty bottle but consumed with shot glasses. After dinner, we had a walk along the streets filled with shops and street food. Stopped by and had "Dok Po Kee", rice cakes coated in chilli sauce and "Soon Dae", pork intestines filled with noodles. Imagine how our stomachs look after that. Diet? No way, not for this night!

Then we took the subway to "Hong Ik University", where young adults hang out. It was a Friday, also known as the "club day". You can just buy a ticket and club hop among seven hot clubs. We ended up in one, called M2, as the music was great to dance with, "Trance/House music". We were too lazy to check out other Hip Hop/RnB music places as it was crowded everywhere. It has been a long time since I really danced. We did so this time for about 4 hours! Yes, we stepped out of the club at around 4 a.m. with our legs giving way!

Before heading back, we had "Ramen", noodles in spicy hot soup, at a small famous little food hut. Chatted for awhile more and we took a cab back. I was pretty much awake still. Showered and waited for a while before I crashed in the cozy bed till it was time to go.

Thanks to Geenie. I had marvelous time. Though it was a pity I did not have time to do shopping at all. Oh well, I guess I can do that if I had to be in Seoul alone.

Memories of Seoul banked!
