How I Spent my Seollal

After enjoying room service breakfast in our fabulous hotel room, we took the bus into the city. On the way we stopped at a street-side shopping area to have a snack and transfer buses. Finally (it was really only ~2 hours after leaving the airport hotel, but my bag was really heavy!) we got to our next hotel located in the center of Little India. We dropped our bags off, took a quick rest, and went out walking around to discover our new neighborhood. As it turned out, we took a bus to Orchard Road, another famous shopping area to find Deuk some sunglasses. That didn't go so well... Orchard Road is better for window shopping than for buying as it's mostly high end shops. Although we kept searching, and searching... and searching, he couldn't find a pair that suited him.

Later that night, we also took a quick walk through Chinatown and headed up to Clarke Quay and Boat Quay (pronounced "key") for a bit of nightlife. Two overpriced drinks, a few blurry pictures and a bit of live music later, we walked. We also discovered there was great seafood to be had there and planned to return the next day for lunch. Took the subway back to 81 Dickson.
