07-05-2013

Life have been boring nowadays.

Nothing special happened.

The same old daily routine.

Hmmmm, maybe I'll talk about my trip to Korea.

As most of my frenz know, I went on a 5 days trip to Korea with Yangxian and Shawn.

A funny group of trio most my frenz say as Yangxian and Shawn are not frenz and both of the agreed to go together.

Its was a virgin trip to Seoul for the 3 of us and also the first time together as I've never been to overseas with Shawn before but a few times with Yangxian.

Before the trip I kept thinking whether the 3 of us will blend well together when we go korea as the characteristics of the 3 of us doesn't seem to be able to blend well.

Shawn belongs to the want to plan what to do and where to go type of person as he doesn't want to waste time especially when we are overseas.

Yangxian belongs to the kind that does everything very last minute. Like buying the air tickets in the last minute, coming to the airport in the last minute. And he doesn't really like to help as I've experienced it a few times from the few previous trips I had with him.

As for me, I actually belong to the very lazy type. I belong more to the type that follows the flow. Like u say u wanna go there I will just follow if the place you wanna go doesn't really interest me but I always try not to spoil the mood.

The first day was nothing interesting as we did not really plan what to do and where to go as we do not know what time we will reach the airport and we do not know the travelling time required to reach our staying place from the airport.

And so after a one hour plus of travelling time, we have reached our destination.

Brownsweet Residence, the place we will call our home for the next 4 and a half days.

The service apartment is actually quite costly as its like $240 per day but the facilities of the service apartment is quite good.

The service apartment is just a short 5 minutes walk from ChungJeongNo train station which is considered near.

Its quite easy to find the place because the building is quite tall and it has the wirds Brownsweet on it so actually its quite hard to miss.

On the first floor of the building, there's like a coffeeshop similiar to Starbucks just that its a smaller version of it.

There's also a small convinence store that we can get our daily needs like snscks, food and drinks when we need to.

There's also a few restaurants located. There's a japanese restaurant and a korean restaurant but due to time constraint we did not try any of them.

And now about the apartment.

The apartment is like a smaller version of a 3 room flat.

It consists of a living room which has a mini kitchen connected to it. 2 Bedrooms which one of them consists of a queen size bed and the other one is 2 regular size beds.

The bad thing about the rooms is that it doesn't come with any wardrobe but they compensate by giving you a makeup room which comes with a wardrobe which is beside the toilet.

The apartment is equipped with 3 aircons. One main in the living room and one in each of the bedrooms. Normally every night we'll turn on the main aircon in the living room and sleep with our doors open so that we do not have to turn on the aircons in the bedroom.

The toilet of the apartment is quite small compared to the regular hotel toilets as it doesn't have a bathtub, just a normal shower with either hot and cold water.

The toilet bowl is the japanese type that is able to heat up during cold weather and it has the thing that will spray ur butt after shitting which is shiok.

The bad thing about the design is that the washing basin is not in the toilet. So to wash ur hands or wash ur face you'll have to go out of the toilet but the basin is just beside the door of the toilet.

The kitchen is very well equipped with utensils for you to cook instant noodled and it comes with bowls, chopsticks everything. Its also comes with knifes and chopping board so you do not have to worry on missing out anything.

Overall I'm very pleased with the service apartment even though its like slightly more expensive den the regular hotels but I'm very happy staying there.

Highly recommended to friends if they are going in a group of 4 so that the $250 can be divided into 4 instead of 3.
