YA! It's HEY Backpackers in Seoul!

So today we finally arrived at Incheon airport 8:05 Korean time.
After we got off the plane we had to get our bagage.
After a 10 minute walk we found out we had to take a shuttle train to the bagage place.
A SHUTTLE TRAIN! Am I the only one who is not used to this?


We had to go through costums again and they checked our passport.
The girl didn't say anything to Bert or Samantha but she seemed really interested in me!
She asked me things like : what do you want to do in Korea? How do you know those 3 cities? So you have korean friends here?
Maybe I just look really suspicious? or just kind?
Anyway.. she was really nice.

We were able to get our suitcases now.
The only thing I thought was : "I have to get to Hey Backpackers FAST''
I felt so sweaty and I just wanted to put away my suitcase, put my backpack on the ground and jump in the shower.
But... we had to get some Korean won first..
So at first I only got 50.000 from the ATM, but that was too little ofcourse.
We had to pay our guesthouse when checking in.
Bert told me to get out more but he calculated the amount wrong and i still ended up with 185.000 won while I should have atleast
Luckily I could borrow some money from my friend Samantha.

After a train ride and some walking around we found our guesthouse.
We had to call Mr. Ko to open up the door since there wasn't a reception.
He quickly came down and gave us a whole tour of the room we are staying in.
And when I say ``A whole tour´´ I definitely mean a whole tour! He explained EVERYTHING in the room.. even how to put on the water boiler.. It took about 30 minutes before I could finally shower.
Mr. Ko is a really energetic person so he told us ALL we needed to know.. and more. i guess.

After we all took a shower and had some sleep we went to search for an ATM that accepts foreign cards.
The one Mr. Ko told us to go to ofcourse didn´t work for foreign cards.. so we just looked around a bit.
After some looking around Bert tried asking someone.
He asked a boy with a microphone.
He was with this other boy with a camera and they were already swarming around us for some time.
So the guy with the microphone promised to take us to the City Bank IF we did an interview on video.
So basicly he asked us how we felt about kimchi, pizza, and pasta. And then he said : ''What do you think about kimchi pizza?'' NOW I REALLY WANT TO TRY THIS.
I have been thinking about kimchi pizza..all day.
We went to the city bank and he asked us where we were from.
When we answered : the Netherlands he immidiately said "Ah... HIDDINKU!'' (referring to Guus Hiddink)
For some reason.. korean people like ''Van Persie'' a lot too.

I FINALLY GOT MY MONEY!
o I could spend it on some ramyun and some drinks.. :)
After we got back we checked out the community room.
We met some really good people and talked about different stuff.
It was a lot of fun.
But now I feel really tired since I'm quite Jetlagged.

By the way.. I saw the coolest store ever in seoul(hongdae) 


Basic information.
Current time : 23:56
Weather : Hot and humid and sometimes little rain.
Forecast: Tomorrow Korea will be facing a typhoon and it will rain like crazy and it will probably be really windy as well. After 14:00 the typhoon moves up to North Korea.

We're probably gonna go to Renaissance river, hangang and we might go some other places.
The weather will probably make things harder though..

We might go to Mnet Music Countdown tomorrow.
Although we got some warnings about the crazy korean fans and ofcourse have to wait in line and be there a few hours before it starts. Being there a for a whole day just to get the front would be nonsense.


I ABSOLUTELY LOVE KOREAN TV.
its so much fun to watch even though i don't understand a lot of it.
Here is a commercial I saw today featuring Jiwon and Krystal (They were in High kick 3 as well)
Byebye!
I will blog again tomorrow.
