Day 16 - Tuesday, May 9, 2023

I dragged my luggage and taking Limousine Bus to airport from Hongdae (KRW 17,000 by cash). It's so convenience taking bus to airport. I took Singapore Airlines from Incheon to Jakarta. I will transfer in Singapore before heading back to Jakarta. Anyway this is my first time redeemed my Krisflyer, so I redeemed my 27,000 miles for free flight one way ticket Seoul - Jakarta with only paying for tax Rp 445,816.

lunch on the plane

So exhausted and my body wasn't very well, I had cold. I had hot tea at Changi Airport (SGD 5.8), while waiting for boarding I had dinner there (SGD 13). Anyway the rate for SGD was too pricey now, it's around Rp 11,280 for 1 SGD to IDR. One thing that I like if I go to Singapore is this chocolate, I love this chocolate so I never miss to buy this chocolate, Bounty SGD 14.5.

hot tea to the rescue, I felt so unwell

back to Jakarta

HOTEL BAROATO 2nd - HONGDAE

I booked the single room for KRW 58,000/night (Rp 666,726), I like this hotel, it's pretty spacious even though the bed was on mezzanine level. Unfortunately I only stayed there for a night.

I rented a portable WIFI, it's good!

comfy bed for my last night in Seoul

Finally I finished writing this Korean 2023 travel diaries, it took me some time until I finished it, haha almost 3 years haha. I started to write again because I actually go to Korea again in 2024 and soon you will find out though. Anyway thank you so much for reading my travel diaries. This trip became memorable because most of it I don't have any fixed itinerary, it's also my first time abroad since pandemic and it took quite a while. I only take several annual leaves and ask permission to work from Korea for few days, and it's also National Holiday in my country so I was so happy during this trip.

Thank you so much for reading my travel diaries.

Cheers and take care,
