semi-charmed life

1. Ride the subway, their bus and taxi by myself.  My guide by traveling through bus:

Taking the bus can be quite enjoyable. Fight your way to a window seat, enjoy the view of the city and call it a day. Just drop the fare at the slot near the driver or if you have a prepaid card just scan it on.

2. Tried bimimbap and other Korean dishes including their cold soup

yes

3. The Hyewha Catholic Church draws the local Filipino population of

Seoul

. Every Sunday morning a Filipino market is held on the sidewalks just outside the church. Tagalog services are held on Sunday at

1:30 p.m.

and on Monday, Tuesday and Friday at

8:30 p.m.

(Note to myself; not to get lost if I have to commute hehehe)

Take Subway Line No. 4 to Hyehwa Station. Come out of Exit No.1 and walk toward the end of the street. The market is formed along the Hyewha Rotary, from High School to the entrance of Hyehwa-dong Catholic Church. (Daehangno, >)

4. Convenience Stores – Coming to a big city like
