Day 23 - Sleepy

Jose got a cab at 5:30 this morning, and arranged one for us to the bus station too. His flights go Busan-Seoul-Paris-Sao Paulo-Santiago. Poor guy.

We got the first bus to Seoul, at 6 this morning. I persuaded Leo and Henry to pay extra for the deluxe bus, in the vague hope I could fit in the seats and get a decent bit of sleep, however that belief was ill-founded. I didn't sleep at all, meaning that I slept all afternoon at the new hostel. We went to the Coex Mall in the afternoon, the largest underground mall in Asia. It's incredibly huge, and has shops selling just about everything. It also has an Aquarium which takes an hour and a half to walk through, and in which (if you go early enough) you can swim with the sharks, according to Leo. The area around the new hostel, the Golden Pond Guesthouse in Hyehwa, seems pretty cool and interesting. It has a lot of shops, bars and restaurants, however unfortunately there's no room here for al of us, so we're going to have to return to Kim's.
