Korea Trip June 2017 Day 4 Part 1 ~ Gwangju | 광주 , Gwangju Apartment - Universiade Hillstate | 광주유니버시아드힐스테이트, U Square

Finally smth to look forward to! Booked 2 holidays over the last month hehe. Though both are just short trips to Thailand. Looking forward to Dec 2017 trip to Phuket and Jan- Feb 2018 trip to Bangkok! Yes, again to Bangkok haha!

Ok, back to Kr travelogue!

Start of day 4 when we set off to Gwangju!

But before we set off, it's breakfast time!

My own version of egg and cheese toast!


Everyone busy at breakfast haha.


My second toast, sweet version haha.


Breakfast situation.


And cereal before leaving!


We quickly packed up and left the hostel! The super friendly guesthouse owner kindly helped us got 2 cabs to send us to the bus terminal!

As there are 5 of us with 3 big luggage and 2 smaller ones, we had to split 2 cabs, each 3000krw! If we were to lug the luggage there via bus, we had to pay 1250krw each. So, it was actually cheaper plus much more convenient to cab there!

There's Issac toast there! Almost at every bus terminal! But we were too full from breakfast.


We got our tickets from the counter. We took the premium coach as that's the nearest time slot plus it was 9100krw, as compared to the regular 7700krw. We had a gd rest on the bus for about 1.5 hours.


Issac toast being prepared!



The coach we took!



This is the premium bus with 2 -1 sitting!


We had a good rest and soon we arrived in Gwangju!



U Square!



Finally arrived U Square after a 1.5 hr ride! Our Gwangju Airbnb host kindly met us there to direct us to the apartment.



U Square is big and had lots of food options!


As our host car can only take 3 pax with luggage, Piggy and I took cab down. We weren't able to find them and went around looking for them. But turned out that they took quite a while to reach. Our host showed us around and how to use the gadgets in the apartment. It's a huge and new condo!

Explaining to BCX how to use the TV. Though he well forgotten it that very night -.-


The master bedroom.


Kitchen, where BCX did his mugging!


The common bathroom with bath tub which BCX enjoyed!


BCX playing with the piano.
Empty room without bed which we used to house our luggage haha.


BCX and Piggys room! Which had a laptop for Piggy to game.


MBR toilet.
Fully furnished and equipped. With body wash, shampoo, rinse (our hair conditioner) and even toothbrush and toothpaste!


Dressing table in the MBR. Where I put on my make up in the morning haha.


After settling down, we took bus to U Square where we had lunch then proceed to Juknokwon.
Our apartment was just 4 bus stops away from U Square. There were only 2 buses at the bus stop right outside the apartment, very convenient!



Running Man was here! Though just the terrace for some games.



Photobomb -.-


U Square directory.


Bus terminal board.


Level 2 with lots of food options!



Where we had our lunch!


The usual banchan, Kimchi and Danmuji!


The menu.


They have some fried stuff which we can choose and they'll heat up for us. Pretty much like our Yong Tau Foo. Mum got tempted to try after seeing the group of ajumma beside having it.



Mummy had her Odeng Udon again.


BCX and I shared a Spicy Pork Deopbap and Cheese Donkatsu which I lost the photo.


The fried stuff we got. Mainly fish paste though.


Piggy's seafood stew, which was a wrong order :( Supposed to be beef stew.


Fried and steamed Mandu to share!



And Dad's Kimchi Fried Rice which he quite like it!


The shop front.


And after lunch, we left U Square and took bus 311 from the stop outside to Juknokwon!
