Arriving in Seoul

May 22 2023

I had a super easy time going through customs and security. Then on my way to exchange money, a guy came up to me and offered to be my taxi. Upon reflection, I probably shouldn’t have agreed but I was too tired from the flight to think critically so I hopped on in. I did make it safely to Hallie’s, albeit probably out $30 more than strictly necessary.

We quickly dropped my stuff off at Hallie’s and then walked around her neighborhood. We went to her favorite local restaurant - a cute little hole in the wall type place with just one man working there who did everything. I had some spicy cheese ramen and things almost like mozzarella sticks in sweet chili sauce called Tteokkochi. Then we grabbed some ice cream bars from a self serve store and walked past the school Hallie works at. We quickly stopped by 7/11 to buy a metro card and then went back to her apartment for bed.
