We had to wake up at 6:45 to get ready and make sure we get to the airport on time for our 10 am flight. With puffy eyes and puffy jackets, my mom and I took the subway to Gimhae airport.
We were staying at the JHill Hotel located in the Myeong Dong district for two nights. It was a tiny room, but the convenience made up for it. It's location is on one of the bustling shopping streets in the maze that is Myeong Dong.
We did a lot of shopping and snacking before heading to Seoul Station. I wanted to see the miniature Christmas train display at the Millennium Hilton Hotel.
And after dinner we went home to do face masks and watch T.V.
Saturday
Myeong Dong was still sleeping even after we finished breakfast at the hotel. So we decided to check out the Gangnam district for a little bit.
We wandered around for a bit before heading to the Hongdae area. There were a lot of street performances happening while people milled around, watching.
Students dancing and rapping.
It took forever to get to the restaurant, but their brunch is bomb.
We went to Itaewon to grab dinner, and see the area decked out in Christmas lights, but it was pretty average. The wine tasted like water, and the servers weren't very nice.
Sunday
We finally got back to my apartment around 6pm. We were going to join my friends for dinner, but they were meeting at 7:45 and we were already hungry. Say it with me, in 3, 2, 1: instant noodles!!!
It was a hectic weekend, but I was glad to get to spend it with my mom. She's staying for another 2 weeks, and then I'll be flying out to Hong Kong for my winter vacation, where a lot of my family will be. It's nice to be with my mom for at least another month. I forgot what it was like to have someone remind you to bring your gloves and put on another layer for warmth. I forgot what it was like to not come home to an empty apartment. I also forgot what it was like to have a sparkling clean washroom and a meticulously organized closet. Thanks mom, love you!!!
