Yesterday and the day before have been hectic, almost no sleep and definitely no time for connecting to internet.
I started out spending the day with another Couch Surfer, Jee, who was kind enough to show me around Seoul. She brought me tourist information, maps and explained the city better than the tourist office could have done!^^
Lunch by the Lotte World, strolling by the lake in the cherry blossom, we continued into a market on the north river bank looking at Hanboks (traditional Korean dresses) and had Korean styled pancakes (Nokdu Jeon). You can stroll around for ever in this city, it just never ends.
At one point we ended up in a small park, crowded by older men playing Korean chess (Jangki) out in the spring cold.

After a full day walking around town, I ended the evening with dinner and partying in Hongdae (the party area around one of the universities in Seoul).
