Seoul Part 2/ 2013 : Day 1

Destination  --> Hoegi Coop residence

Seoulll!! Wait for us.

As early as 5.30, am we board a taxi to LCCT. It cost us RM80, yet I am satisfied as they provide us Limousine taxi. We arrived around 6.30 am and went straight to document check counter as we only brought cabin luggage with us. A bit miss understanding happened, yet we manage to settle and spared some times to have breakfast at McDonald. I forgot to order flight food so McD is the best tapau loh!

Bla.. bla.. blaa.. 8.50 am departure. We finally arrived at Incheon at 4.10 pm, their time, as Korea is one hour ahead of Malaysia. The flight took around 6 hours from KL to Incheon. We took airport train to main building, went through immigration and custom.. tadaaaa!!! As I remembered from my previous trip 2 years ago, unlike at Haneda the clearance at immigration and custom was really fast. It was warm inside the airport, yet sooooo cold outside. We took airport rail to Seoul station.

From Incheon to Seoul, we have two options if we choose to go by train. One is AREX commuter which cost around KRW3890 if I am not mistaken, or use the AREX express which cost around KRW13,800 but discounted to KRW8,000. The different? Time difference is only 10 minutes, but if you are using express train there will be no stop at all. If you use commuter, it took around 10 stations before you reach Seoul Station.

From Seoul station, we change to metro line 1 to Hoegi station and exit at line 1. Wow! Hoegi Coop Residence is only few steps away from the station. Exit to line one, go to the left.. walk straight till the GS25 shop. There is a small alley on the left and the hotel entrance is about 100m from the shop. Tadaaaaaaa…

We paid RM650 for 3 nights and it was satisfying to see the hotel room has a small kitchen inside which provide cooking facilities and microwave yo!! Here is the card. Jenuh ok cari the email address.. so, dont lose this!
