One night in Seoul

There was a double rainbow when I flew out of Sydney…

I parted my hotel room curtains in Seoul to be greeted with a rainbow as well.

Rainbows on both ends.  I’ll take it to be a good sign 🙂

5 star free hotel night in a funky laneway district.  Can’t get used to the plush though – it’s all hostels from here on!  I took full advantage of my last chance to have a long luxurious bath…at 4am (leftover Hong Kong habits).

 

Laneway kitsch

 Had some yummy spiderweb-looking nutty sweet…like a powdery nut mixture wrapped in Korean fairy floss? The makers/vendors put on an animated performance and even struck a pose 😀

Friendly sweets vendor

 I decided to venture forth as per usual, and stumbled upon a lot of policemen everywhere guarding seemingly nothing at odd hours of the night. 

Police presence?

Managed to get stuck out with the last trains to seedy American soldier-ville (nightlife district near their army base).  On the upside, I got to see military police in uniform (enforcing curfew) and I know how to use the subway now! Still, thank goodness for cheaptastic cabs.

6am pick-up at the hotel now for my flight to Madrid.   See you on the other side!
