I was suppose to move into my house in Daerim-dong on Saturday, but unfortunately the contract was not settled, so I still can't move in. From what we heard the Malaysia Embassy couldn't pay the key-money, something like a deposit, so we need to suffer because of that.
The seniors were encouraging me to go out on Saturday, since I had nothing much to do. I wanted to go out with few of my friends, but I wasn't able to contact them as they still do not have their house phone. Those that are staying near by were busy buying furnitures and cleaning their house. At the end, I had to go alone. Not that it's somethig bad, just that I'd prefer some company.
Anyway, I took the subway and went to Myeongdong, a place where the young people of Seoul hang-out. The place is like a few Petaling Street joint together. Everywhere I went I could see people buying and selling food. I really wonder how Koreans can still stay fit even though they eat so much. Although the food seems quite delicious, I just did not have the appetite to eat. Missing my Malaysian laksa, chicken rice, chah kueh teow, kolo mee......
As it was raining quite heavily, I went into a shopping centre to avoid the rain. The one thing I don't like about the shopping centres here is that they are quite small. Some of the shopping centres are quite tall, but they are not as spacious compared to the shopping centres in Malaysia.
Following the seniors' advice, I didn't buy any unnessary things. In fact, I didn't buy anything at all becuase I don't know where to put them since I don't have a home yet.
As it was still quite early, I decided to go to Dongdaemun Stadium. My lecturer had told us that there is a flea market near the stadium every weekend. So, I took the subway and arrive at Dongdaemun Stadium's station, just to find that it was atill raining heavily outside and that I had lost my umbrella somewhere in Myeongdong Station. Feeling tired and not wanting to waste my money on a new umbrella, I decided to go back.
Thus end my first episod of Seoul exploration.
