The whole night was terrible. Getting to sleep was difficult. I heard all types of noise.
- Koreans speaking at the top of their voice.
- Toilet flushing sound over and over again.
- Some random giggling sound. (I seriously wonder where did it came from!)
- Etc.
I got myself ready at 7am. Stuff the net and chatted with my friends who are working. Rush down to FamilyMart to purchase mineral water as I do not dare to drink the water from the Kitchen.
By 9am I decided to walk all the way to the Goshitel. Walking slowly and taking in some nice morning air of Seoul. No matter how slow I walked, I reached the Goshitel doorstep at 9.20am. Knock on the boss's room and getting no response. I knew I was too early but I couldn't help it.
Finally after a long wait, a lady, I suppose it's the helper, came and ask what do I need. Told her that I am here to take a look and she told me that there's only 1 room available. Only the one without toilet attached. My heart almost dropped when I heard it but still request to take a look. The room was really bigger.
Took a look, thanks the lady and walked off.
Feeling depressed, called up my senior and asked her how. We decided to call the boss. Used my Singapore hp and called up the boss. I think the boss just woke up, coz he was like speaking so softly till I couldn't heard him. Got help from an uncle who owns the Chinese restaurant under the Goshitel.
Listening to his conversation, he is really sleeping still. He requested me to give him 15mins to come over.
So I play my HP while waiting.
Waited here.
By 9.45am, he came up and spoke to me about the room when I ask him about the room with toilet attached. He told me it was available still but it's without window. I was too tired to explain what I need and want, so I told him that I am not very competent in speaking Korean, and ask him whether can I get my senior to talk to him. He was okay with it and he passed me his phone when he saw me using my Singapore phone. Quite obvious because he was like, Samsung? Not Anycall? Use my phone instead coz international calls are very expensive.
The room that I want will only be available on Monday. So when I shift in the next day (saturday), I will have to temperoy shift to the room without toilet attached. I was totally fine. Settle everything within like 5minutes. He brought me to see the room that I will be staying from Monday onwards. The student was actually still sleeping when he knocked the door. Told him I should be reaching at 1pm the next day. Gave him my deposit and left the place feeling happy to the max!
Goshitel rooms are like 2x bigger than Goshiwon. I like!
Walk around and went to Mister Donut.
Sugar Donut and Chocolate.
Had these for breakfast + early lunch at 4900won. (1500won + 3400won).
I took the seat beside the window. Relax, read a book and spent time observing passer-by. It's really something I do not have the time to do in Singapore. Totally relaxing.Spent near 2 hours inside Mister Donut. I am glad there wasn't much people that day.
Shop around the streets to see what's there to see and buy. Buy in the sense of daily necessities.
There's Olive Young. 1 of my favourite store. It's like our Watsons in Singapore. But I found out that some items are more expensive.
Paris Baguette. My favourite bakery shop in Seoul! I end up having their bread for breakfast everyday. The bread are so much nicer than Singapore's. I do hope that they come in to Singapore soon.
And many others like, Tony Moly, Skin Food, Aritrum, Etude House, Accessories Cafe, Starbucks, Caffee Bean, Coffee Bean, Burger King, Hollys Coffee, Dunkin Donut, Baskin Robbins, Smoothie King and many many more.
Went back happily to the Goshiwon to do packing since I unpack everything when I reached. Packing things back to where it original placed was such a hassle. Packing and chatting with my friends at the same time totally make my day.
Finally at evening time, I broke the news of I am shifting house tomorrow to my parents. My sister was like, "I knew something was wrong when I am skype-ing with you. Your face looks so grumpy. So this was the problem."
After which, I went out to search for dinner. There were so many kinds of food stores around the area. Streetfood, Chain Restaurant and Family Restaurant. Basically, Hoegi is like a food street.
Walk around Hoegi and the area towards Hankuk University of Foreign Studies station.
And I decided to settle with Streetfood for dinner.
Tteokbokki at 2500won.
Actually I did not take the Korean Rice Cake (Tteokbokki) picture. Totally forget about it. This was actually 1 of the Tteokbokki I've eaten that looks super similar to the store. The taste of the Korean rice cake was nice and spicy. I totally liked it. The spicy level is like X10 times of Singapore's.
Requested for "Take out" (They use Take Out instead) and bring it back to the Goshiwon to enjoy them.
Continue to pack my things and clear all the things in the room.
Should not have bought the necessities like Detergent, Air spray and stuff. Too many things to clear and pack.
The whole night I was smiling like an idoit throughout because I just couldn't help it. Nobody can understand the feeling of "YESH! FINALLY SHIFTING OUT!"
It was like 2am and I decided to fight with the battle to sleep peacefully....
