Day 1: Gwangjang Market

I was so used to waking up early because of work. I was not surprised that I jolted awake at around 6AM the next day. I checked our Korea trip Facebook chat group - my two friends were still asleep. Well I knew this would happen, so I packed jogging clothes with me so that I could do early morning walks around the area of the guesthouse.  I got up and prepared. In a few minutes, I was ready to go out and explore!

I checked the Accuweather app on my phone. It displayed a single-digit number indicating the temperature. When I went outside, I confirmed that it was really cold - well, not that cold compared to last night at least.

My jogging outfit!

Because it was still early morning, some stalls were not yet opened and few people were there. I saw one stall that sells pajeon (korean pancake). I bought some for take out (it costs 5,000 KRW). Ahjumma even game some extra pieces and told me it was service (for free).



Satisfied with my food, I went back to the guesthouse to eat. I went up to the rooftop (yes our guesthouse has one!) with my pajeon and coffee that I bought the night before. The view up there was nice. I could see Seoul Tower in the distance.

So I was just chilling there munching on my warm pajeon while absorbing the view in front of me. Just a year ago, me and my sister visited Seoul Tower. Who would have thought I'd be returning again to this place? I was just all emo during that time, accompanied by my favorite music playing from my Spotify playlist. Later on, I was joined by Mel, carrying his own breakfast.
