Seoul For Will's Last Weekend

This past weekend I went up to Seoul to meet with Andrew, my academic adviser, and give Will a last weekend in Seoul.

I went up with Will in the morning and then left to meet Mike, Jon and Andrew for our discussion/school stuff. Productive and interesting. Later we met with Will and others for dinner and drinks in Hongdae, the more student oriented version of Gangnam. I ducked out with Bobby around 230, as we had both been up since seven and were not really drinking hard or planning to stay out til dawn.

We got up early the next day and went around the Yonsei University Campus, a neat university with a relatively long history. I then jumped a cab and took the KTX home.

I have been to Hongdae previously and always enjoy it. Less upscale and trendy than Gangnam and less of a gutter than Itaewon (though these days Itaewon is more touristy and a shadow of its former self, as great or horrible as it may have been). I think everyone else had a good time too. I know Will works for a less than amazing company so we all thought it was important to have a great last weekend in Korea before a LONG last week with his company, which it has certainly turned out to be. But I'll save that for a later blog.

On the whole another great 24 hours in Seoul, I hope to head back again towards the end of March.
