On Friday, I prepared and packed my bag for a 4-day trip to
Ulleungdo Island!! I have Friday-Wednesday off from work for Chuseok, the
Korean Thanksgiving, so I took full advantage of that! I wanted to get away
from the busyness of Seoul and relax and celebrate my 24th birthday!!
I made a very specific packing list, and managed to fit
everything into a book bag. Pretty impressive, huh?! At 1pm, I met up with
Lisa. We both wanted to see a movie before our trip, so we took the subway to
the closest CGV (movie theater) to check out what movies were playing. We
arrived just before 2pm, just in time to buy tickets for “Taken 2.” We bought
our popcorn and drinks and headed into the theater. This was Lisa’s first
Korean movie experience, so we were both excited!!
After the movie, we took the subway home and finished up our
last-minute packing. I showered and double-checked my packing list before
leaving my apartment. I met Lisa at 7:45pm. We grabbed dinner at Misoya, a
Japanese restaurant near us, and then headed to the subway station. We were
meeting up at 10:30pm to catch the bus. (This was our first trip with Adventure
Korea, a travel company for foreigners in Korea. They were extremely organized
from the beginning, so it made this trip hassle-free for us!) We met the rest
of the group in front of the subway station, and introduced ourselves to some
people. Lisa and I were excited about meeting new people, hopefully ones who
lived in Seoul like us!
We boarded the bus at 11:30pm and went on our way. We would
be driving through the night, so we were ready to sleep!
