Once we were released from our quarantine, we moved to a new apartment (not far, still in the same complex) with more space. We then headed out to stock up on groceries and check out what was available in Seoul.
We were off to a good start with Korean grocery shopping when we found Bundaberg products at Costco. There is a big Bundaberg sign on the wall of the Costco I go to in Seoul. I think of Kerin and Steve's family every time I see that sign.
And lamingtons!
And the fresh seafood. Similar to China. Korea is by far our easiest place to be able to purchase a wide variety of food easily. We can even buy Weet-Bix here (delivered next morning to our door!). Still missing our promite and vegemite though. On the flip side it's very easy to source American grocery products, which are difficult to come across in Australia.
We also took advantage of the nice weather and the ability to go outside whenever we would like. We explored some of the parks around Mapo-gu area.
After our one month in Mapo-gu, we moved closer to where we would hopefully be living. We packed up again and moved into a hotel, while we hunted for an apartment.
In the hotel we took full advantage of the swimming pool and exercise facilities. They also had an indoor basketball court, squash court and putt putt.
