I don’t even know where to begin with the backlog.

There were so many funny moments in Seoul and this was one of them. I got super glue all over my arm and I went into a state of paranoia. Googled remedies and this was what the web told me - soak my arm in hot water with soap. I was scared my arm will get a rash or it will flare my eczema or the hairs or my arm will burn off and leave a weird bald spot… too many thoughts but happy to report that no more super glue on my arm now and it has been many months since then 😂

PHEW!

The journey home and a fast food meal at the airport 💓 Tried the mushroom burger and it was amazing

My love letter to my NBs that I had to leave behind :-(

Ending Seoul on such an incredible note - We sat here for a good 45 minutes just chilling and feeling the breeze! Everyone dipped their feet in but Simin and I are too high maintenance for that HAHAHA such a nice place to relax and soak everything in. Seoul you’ve been absolutely amazing, and going with my best friend was really symbolic because we’ve been wanting to go on a trip for the longest time. Scratched it off our bucket list ✔️

Taking in the streets. There was a buzz in the air because of street demos/protests! Still very much in control and regulated but I have to say… Seoul’s sound system is INCREDIBLE. I can hear every word, syllable and emotion coming from the speakers in high clarity and definition… I guess there was a Hallyu wave for a reason 😂 They don’t play with tech systems

Day 9: Gwangjang market

I’ve never been to this famous market so Simin the native brought me! I bought a bunch of summer pyjamas and we overdosed on fried Korean snacks

[teyaguide101]

I took this shot because of a few things:

- simin embracing her favourite yogurt brand that we can only find in Seoul (and that we ate EVERY MORNING)

- the paper bags all over the floor

- our cosy room that housed us so warmly for 10 days

- a nice twilight night after a full day of shopping

I will never forget it all 🫶

A whole lot of pixie dust in every corner

Went to Hyundai mall and was blown away! Loved this mall soooo much. We screamed when we say Joe and the Juice but immediately clowned ourselves when we realised we ordered the wrong tuna sandwich 🍣

Day 8: Post office

No big deal… Simin just casually delivering a package and navigating the post system (which is super daunting) entirely in Korean without breaking a sweat 🫢
