About 10 miles from Seoul to get to Seongsu.

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

About 7,000 miles (from Maryland to Seoul). That overnight flight is not for the weak!

How did I get around this week?:

I used the subway and bus with my T-Money card (transit/transportation card). A bus ride is usually about 1,500 Won ($1.10).

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Seongsu. It used to be an industrial area with shoe factories, but now it’s the trendiest place for art and fashion.

Other Travel News from this week:

Taxis and Ubers are much more expensive than the subway, so everyone uses public transit. It’s super clean and always on time!
