Sunday's are quiet
Omurice in Sinchon
I can now definitely confirm that Sunday's are quiet in Korea. I had my suspicions when I got here, then in Gwangju Sunday was quiet, Daejeon I did not notice so much, but then tonight in central Seoul, most of the food places near my hotel are shut.
That might be to do with it being a business area, and therefore a get drunk after work area. Although Daejeon I presume was the same and that did not seem any quieter than normal on Sunday, and Gwangju was quiet in the entertainment district, so clearly I have no clue what I am talking about at all.
What I can confirm is, 45,000 steps.
My outing this evening was to Sinchon, which is also the Ewha Womans University (yes, Womans, not Women's).
I spotted this area on my walk to Hongdae the other night. It was not shut, and it was a pretty nice place, if I come back to Seoul I would go back there.
I did notice a lot of hostels in the streets around the University, and a lot of tour buses dropping people off who might be Uni students returning from a day trip. Also a lot of young foreigners, not all Womans. So that was a pretty boring update, boring pics below.
Tomorrow is the last hiking day (sad face).
Another container park. These things are everywhere.
I got off at the Ewha Womans University station (I did not walk here this evening). There was a bit around, but I was expecting more. Time to study the map.
Found the place, I really wanted to get off at Sinchon station. The street layout is a bit confusing around here, I found myself re arriving at this point unexpectedly multiple times.
The other direction from the same spot. There are some pedestrian streets and some bus only streets, and a Hyundai department store.
Even though it was Sunday, the quiet day, many places had lines of people.
Eventually I found a food courty type of place, and had whirlwind omurice. Presentation great, flavour was lacking.
For my last pic today, what I should of had, ramen pizza.
