Summer Trip to South Korea 2022, part 7: Airport Drama season 2

Finally, last day and last part in South Korea. As I had morning flight, I thought around 10 o'clock, we had to checked out at 6 a.m. So sleepy. We took bus to the train station, took the airport train, and arrived in Incheon airport after an hour. We went to terminal 1 since my e-ticket from tiket.com says so. We take it easy because we still had enough time. We had breakfast with Ugly bakery we bought yesterday. We even had a chance to go to rest room to finish our business not in a hurry. Ah, and I even able to send an email. After that, we started to look for my check in counter. I was looking for "Garuda Indonesia" flight in the big screen, but found none. OMG. Where is Garuda Indonesia? We took courage to ask someone using uniform, that highly possible were airport staff. We informed my flight number and he replied, "This flight is in Terminal 2". OMG OMG OMG. I was quite panicked, but fortunately that staff told us how to go to Terminal 2 = by shuttle bus

Finally, arrived in part 6 aka the sixth day in Seoul (?) But, unfortunately, that day in the morning, iKON departed to Japan to hold their concert. Hiks. Maybe that's why Seoul was raining all day, literally raining all day. Seoul was raining without iKON. Seoul was crying because I wanna go home :( Wkwk. So, today, despite the rain, we decided to explore Hongdae. First, we had a meal in The Halal Guys. Sad, because it was below our expectation. Not tasty. Then, we found Kakao shop, so we took a tour there. After that, we found Line shop! We searched for it all day when in Myeongdong but we found none. When we didn't look for it, it popped out. We bought a Brown coin wallet for our youngest. It was still raining. We went to arcade to play Bishi Bashi!! Our childhood game that no longer available around us. But, because a long hiatus, I couldn't play well. Actually, I wanted to go to Karaoke or photo booth, but at the end deciced not to go to save money. We went to Famous B

Welcome to part 5, last day in Daejeon before heading back to Seoul. Hmm, actually, we were planning to go to Busan or Namhae instead of Seoul again. But we thought we couldn't make it, and it was costly. Nah, bye bye Busan T.T Again, because I was do soooo little research before going to Korea, we were confused what to eat for breakfast. We will go to Seoul by train in the afternoon and go to Daejeon Museum of Art in the morning. So, we decided to have breakfast with convenience store food. I had a porridge and corn salad. I forgot what my brother ate. My breakfast. I wanna eat those again :' We went to Daejeon Museum of Art (DMOA) by bus and walking. Oh no, I still haven't recovered but you asked me to walk again. Actually, I found DMOA from Instagram reels, we can have Instagram-able photos there. But, turns out we couldn't enter that area. Hmm, dunno why. We ended up just wandering around the DMOA building, don't know what to do. Took some pictures and went home

Hello again... We are already in 2023, and I have so many drafts about South Korea trip and 2022 recap. First, let me continue the story about summer trip to South Korea. We stayed in Daejeon, at my brother's dorm. Unfortunately, that day he need to go to the lab to do some work. So, here I am, planning to exploring solo, without internet connection in my phone. This is very important, without internet connection! LOL. Actually, we have tried to buy local simcard at the convenience store, but we couldn't activate it and my brother was in hurry. So I just screen captures all routes for today and prayed that I don't get lost. My first destination was Daisy cafe. It is a cafe with cozy ambience recommended by my brother and the location is not that close. I went by bus and tried to count the number of passed bus stop. OMG OMG OMG. The bus in Daejeon is different with Seoul bus. The screen that informing us about next bus stop is only written in Hangul !!! The voice announcemen
