We took the first step and joined Viper challenge which starts at 12am,the final session.
The challenges such as the monkey bars and climbing wall type of obstacles are a pain for me. Makes me wonder if I trained myself correctly for this event. Thankfully, the organizer arranged volunteers to help those in need (me, haha).
Despite the help given, there was no one to help at the "Eliminator ". Miraculously, we made it through all the obstacles and finished around 3.30am.
Here comes the adrenaline rush, we had a flight to catch at around 8.30am which requires us to reach the airport by 5.30am. We drove like mad back to our house and get ready ourselves in 30 min. Phew, luckily the place we stay was not far from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Although we agreed to further challenge ourselves by not sleeping for that day, we doze off immediately at the plane. So much, for our determination.
We arrived at Seoul at around 4pm local time. Unable to read and understand Korean language, we began our journey in this foreign land by looking for the customer information center. By showing them the docs that we had printed out, we collected our pocket wifi. Our lives gets easier from there.
To reach our hotel, we need to claim our AREX ticket that we bought online. Since there are 3 of us, 3 tickets for us to go to Seoul Station & 3 return tickets. Due to communication error, the receptionist issued us all 6 tickets in one go with the train being less than 5 min left. Yeap, the other 3 tickets kind of serve as souvenir only purposes. Hence, just claim the ticket that u need to use for that day only. Very important.
The AREX express was comfortable with only one stop at Seoul station.You can doze off until the one and only stop. Once we arrived at Seoul station, we got lost awhile with the entrance. We stayed at 24 guest house premier which is very near to the station if u take the right exit (exit 11 then walk along the road).
Since we are exhausted, we had our dinner at the food court at Lotte Mart. I really like the number coding system. When u cant read their words, you can just type the number listed in the menu in your phone and show to the cashier. There will be numbers in the receipt for each order and you collect it when your number shows on the screen. No miscommunication . Haha. Aside from the Korean delicacies, I find the Western food impressively good.
We stop by convenience stall for some snacks and start our supper fest back at the hotel.
Ta, da end of Day 1.
