So to make my last day in Seoul special. My friend Stephanie accompanied me for the day. We got to go to all of my favorite places.
After having free lunch with a friend of a mutual friend, we went to "Real SM" building and then explored the area to go find our way to CUBE Cafe. It was really fun to go there and hang out at the place where all m Kpop adventures really seemed to start.
After we finished going to the agencies, we got on the subway and made our way up the orange line to Dongguk University station to take the bus to Namsan Tower. It had always been one of my dreams to go to Namsan at night so I could look out at my city at night and see all the lights that Seoul had to show off.
I am no going to lie, I was tearing up on the road up to the tower. it was weird to think that this was going to be mu last night in the city. I was able to hold in the tears, but they threatened to spill when I was up in the tower. Seoul during the day is so vibrant and lively, but Seoul at night is breathe taking. Looking out over the Han is so hauntingly beautiful; the highways illuminated red and white, like veins pumping the life blood of the city even late into the night. I was struggling to hold in the tears while I was trying to say my goodbyes.
The next morning, the day I was going to fly out. I moved my things into Stephanie's room after I checked out and we went to Alice Cafe with our mutual friend Abby (see lunch from above) and got cupcakes and drinks for breakfast. Afterwards Stephanie helped me bring my things to the bus stop and waited with me until my shuttle arrived.
It may not have been the most glitzy and high rolling way to leave the country like some of my friends, but I would not have changed anything. It was perfect, it was just like my personality while I was there in Seoul. And hopefully am able to go back one day and visit all these magical places again ^^
