Part 1 of Seoul Adventure~
Exploring Seoul In Summer!
Itinerary for Couples, 9 days 8 nights in Seoul!
Day 1 (22 Aug 2014)
Our first 2 day one night at Seoul, we stayed at Gom Hostel. It's located at Dongdaemum, location is not friendly for first timer to Seoul.
The room is also very small so not suitable for tourist with big luggages. But it does have a huge bathroom with necessary amenities.
However I feel that the room is quite dirty as the bed sheet is not change, it's filled with lip stick stain, brown dirty stain and they use mattress pad to cover over it which is quite old and the bed make me feel that I am lying on a pile of hard spring itself, definitely not advisable for side sleeper.
And I came across a room where the staff is cleaning up they vacuum the floor but for the bed they just use a simple roller to stick all the hair and dirt that's all how they clean the bed.
I would say it's definitely not suitable for a clean freak like me, hope that can be improved.
But it will be suitable for budget couple or friends traveling in pairs and is near Dongdaemum the shopping wonderland!
Nevertheless it's a cozy hostel with friendly helpful staff.
Super cute T money in a small little key chain, it's so convenient as I just hook it on my sling bag, and tap it when I need.
My first MCM! Bought a new purse for myself!
Some skin care buy at the first day!
Our first meal in Seoul, one of my favourite local restaurant at Myeongdong.

Day 2 (23 Aug 2014)
Finally we shift hotel to Kpop residence 2 at Meyeongdong!!
It's clean bright and the bed is so much better! Very convinient and easy located in Myeongdong. More importantly it has cable TV!
However the bathroom is quite tiny and there's a strange stinky smell from the bathroom drain which cause the whole room to stink. The bathroom have to always be close if not the stink from the drain can make you feel like puking, hope that can be improved!
I guess is probably due to summer / some congestion issue with the drain.
But other than that we still enjoy our stay very much they have helpful staff assisting our enquiry.
