First Steps in Seoul

Having traveled quiet a bit over the last few years – and mostly using Star Alliance flights, I had accumulated quiet some miles by now. In February however, I discovered, that I would have to spend some of precious miles until June to avoid them from expiring. I was therefore looking around and – by chance – came across a special Lufthansa offer for flights to Seoul … I made a quick decision and got booked.

Today I finally arrived at Incheon International Airport, around 50km outside of Seoul. By train and subway I got to my hotel near Dongdaemum Stadium. After settling in to my 12 m² Wohnklo, I started to explore the surroundings.

My first stop was the Namsangol Hanok village, a kind of open air museum showing different ancient Korean houses. From here I continued my walk and moved on to the cable car up Namsam Mountain to get to Seoul Tower to get a view of town.

To close my day I got down into the narrow shopping, restaurant and entertainment streets of the Myeong-Dong district; I also ended up, having dinner here.
