I woke up at 10:30. I slept really well, except I couldn’t get the AC working so it was 26 degrees in my room in the morning, just like the tent. Got down to the reception and via Google Translate she told me I had to use the TV remote to start it. The setting on the wall was heating, duh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The others had been out dancing last night so we tried to coordinate where and when to meet. Jonas’s phone started to do a system update before he answered and that took longer than usual so we got a bit worried. In the end, everyone got connected and we headed to the Seoul Sky<\/a>, a large tower with a great view. It took us longer than it should have to find each other on the site, to our defense, it was a huge mall. It turned out we were on different levels in the building \ud83d\ude42 So the group consisting of me, Jonas, Maja, Harald, Micaela, and Fredrik walked to the ticket office for Seoul Sky but they told us that the visibility at the top was limited at the time, and the prognosis for the rest of the day wasn’t that good either. So we took off to find something to eat instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found a caf\u00e9 called Aquagarden, where you could have a fika in an amazing environment! Aquariums are everywhere with fishes and turtles in different sizes. We got our table but just as we sat down staff came and asked us to move to another table. Not a biggie, but as compensation we got to choose three bagels from the menu for free. I won’t say no to that! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ate and drank our fika and had a great time. We also visited a small shop where they had, apart from some fish, small ornaments. Glass containers with some vegetation, and a couple of decorations in them. So beautiful! I asked one of the staffers if they delivered to Sweden, but he told me the customs would stop it because it was live plants. I have to see if anyone in Sweden is doing the same thing, they are really cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we had our fika and looked at all the fish we set off to visit Gangnam, famous for the song Gangnam Style by the Korean artist Psy. It currently has almost 5 billion plays on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
