Chapter 44: Enlightenment
Oliv and I found ourselves outside of the plane, still dazed from the long flight to Seoul.
Rick was already waiting for us at the baggage reclaim.
There was a time difference between Boston and Seoul.
We took off on a lazy Sunday morning and arrived on a bustling Monday morning.
Exhausted yet excited we exchanged glances and hopped into a taxi, heading for a hotel near the LoL Park arena.
We soon realized that the prices in the area had been hiked up significantly because of the upcoming semifinals and the grand final on Wednesday.
After we sorted out our hotel, Oliv, Rick, and I decided to make the most of our first day in Seoul.
We hit up the vibrant Myeongdong district, where the street food game was strong, with all the local munchies from spicy tteokbokki to mouthwatering hotteok.
Rick wanted to check out the Gyeongbokgung Palace, but me and Oliv weren’t that much into history, so I made the decision to split up.
When the sun began to disappear behind the horizon, we went up the Namsan Tower to see those mind-blowing views of the city and the Seoul’s lit-up skyline.
We were definitely enjoying it a lot, but eventually, Oliv and I hit the wall, and we headed for the hotel.
