Thirteen Things to do in Seoul before Departure

---

In 13 days 6 hours and 12 minutes these barren white walls with grey pock marks and pin holes will be a forgotten 1-bedroom box on the edge of English Village. But for now there are 13 things I need to accomplish in order to make this a happy departure.

13. Return to Pension Office to hand over Extra Documents so, I can have a "happy" year end bonus via direct deposit X

12. Travel into Seoul to visit Gyeongbukgung and Changgyeonggung Palaces

11. Go to the Eastern side of Seoul and visit Seoul Forest Park with its 420,000 trees inside 5-theme parks

10. Visit Hongik University Free Saturday Market in Hongdae to pickup a couple of Christmas gifts/farewell presents

9. Experience a final night of drinking at Orange Mart and bellowing it out upstairs at the Norabong (karaoke box) until 2am

8. Take the Ultimate Golfing challenge indoors to the local Screen Golf shop while drinking tea, eating peanuts and cracking golf balls inside as it rains outside

7. Paintball War III. Undefeated at this point. I'm looking forward to shooting English teachers and regaining my popularity as a formidable target in bright colored clothing

6. Visit Jogyesa or Bongeunsa Temples to pay homage to Buddha and listen to the tranquility of silence amongst a rapidly moving city X

5. Set up dinner plans with Uro and enjoy a goodbye farewell X

4. Take Shauna out to dinner at our local favorite restaurant: The Farmer's Table

3. Final shopping spree in, around and through Dapsimini Antique Market and Dongdaemun Outdoor Market

2. Go to ALL the wonderful eateries in the Hongdae Area to get our last fill of delicious eats:
Fell + Cole Gastronomical Ice Cream
Publique Bakery Shop
Macaroon Shop
Mandu Shop
Nameyeon Noodle Shop
Hirakaya Japanese Restaurant
Standing Coffee
Bella Tortilla
Onigiri Rice Ball Shop

1. Get on the plane and disembark South Korea on Nov 23rd
