getting around town

its confusing when you first arrive, because well, everything's in korean, aint it? and for first-timers, its difficult to get your bearings (i was lucky because my homestay dad came to pick me!) so i thought some info on transport in seoul would be good, and there you go!

now, where should i stay?

when i first started preparations for my stay in seoul, i had a lot of trouble settling accomodations. reason being, i wasnt going for a holiday; instead it was a "not-too-long, but not-too-short" stint of three months and it was impossible to book a hotel for that long (unless of course, you're rolling it in, and im obviously not!)

and it was only after much online research and frantic emails, i finally booked my stay, one short week before i was due to depart.

so i came to realise the utility of an accomodation guide, esp for non-korean speakers, and this is my version of one: a short introduction on where to stay in seoul, based on various needs of different travelers. hope it'll be of help while you're planning for that wonderful trip to seoul!
