It was the last night in Seoul and it was too late to go out to buy food. We actually planned to eat some fried chicken for dinner, but the Korean Fried Chicken place below the apartment that we stayed closed early on Saturdays and did not open on Sundays (oh the horror!). So there went our dream of eating chicken for either dinner or breakfast.
Thankfully the convenience shop nearby (and always within the complex) was still opened, so we made our way there and bought a variety of yummilicous looking gimbap (rice rolls). In the end, our dinner consisted of yummy gimbap and cups of instant noodles that was provided by the host of our apartment (very thoughtful and handy!).

It was actually the first meal we ate inside the apartment, so of sorts it could be considered to be a homey meal. With the TV turned on and us trying to understand the drama without any English subtitles while eating our impromptu dinner, it was just like we were home. We ended up chatting till the early morning and it was a wonder we could still wake up on time (or even had time to sleep for that matter!) to catch the bus to the airport.

Being in the warm cozy (heated)
apartment while the weather outside was below 10 degrees was a surreal
but comfortable feeling. Overall, it was an enjoyably fun trip with
wacky people and interesting experiences. It was a trip of many firsts:
first time going with a bigger group of people, first time planning some
of the itinerary and coordinating so that we all could meet up and
travel for most days together since our arrival was at least 2 days
apart, first time going to the fish market and eating the yummy raw
fish, first time visiting in autumn and seeing the pretty autumn
foliage, first time going to Jeju, and finally got to visit Everland (but still did not manage to explore the whole place).
Just
reminiscing about it now makes me want to go back again and eat and
shop and walk (ok not so much the walking, but I think you get the idea
haha)!
