By the way, the cell phone rental was a really good idea. Even though there's WiFi almost everywhere (seriously), its still nice in some areas where there is none or its slow, then I just use LTE and do what I need. It's so cheap and it's unlimited data that I see no reason not to.
The area in Gangnam is way cool. There are a ton of coffee shops, cafés, and other things along the streets. Also something I noticed, even though it's like downtown, big city, it's surpringly quiet! I would have expected something like New York but nope, there's like barely anyone talking on cell phones, no horns honking from cars, etc. It's kind of peaceful. I've also not noticed a ton of people staring. Every now and then I'll see someone look my way, but not as much as I had expected.
The subway is excellent as well. It's super quick and easy to get the ticket and trains come like every 2 minutes it seems. They make it really simple to follow the routes to get you where you need to go with color-coding and a numbering system.
I'm enjoying Seoul so much! I'm happy I still have another week to travel around and see the different areas and stuff and I won't be bed-ridden like with other surgeries. It may have been expensive to travel here, but I feel like I'm on vacation and I just happen to be getting a surgery done at the same time, lol.
Ok, I'm done droning about Seoul...I still need to try to get some sleep! I have to be up in like 4 hours! I guess I still haven't re-accustomed myself to the new time zone.
