Arrived Seoul on Monday morning at around 7:15am. This is my first time in Seoul, although I've been in transit at Seoul once before on my way to Vancouver, Canada.
My first impression of Seoul is that it is a clean and organized city. It is, however, very foreigner-unfriendly in the sense that sign boards of buildings and shops are almost always entirely in Korean.
I've just come back from a night walk in the Namdaemun night market neighbourhood and the area behind Holiday Inn Seoul in Mapo-gu and find Seoul rather safe.
Seoul seems intriguing to me. I wish I have more time to explore it in further detail. However, I'm leaving for Singapore early tomorrow morning, so that would have to wait till my next trip.
