Seoulland Day 8: Last Day in Seoul and Tips on Budget

The night before i left Korea, AirAsia sent me a text that goes,

"Dear Our Valued Customer, your flight D 5708 has been rescheduled from 9.45 am to 12.45 pm." :')

The biggest problem with the text was, one, it made me want to change my flight ticket to night instead as they allowed us to change without any charges. Two, i tried. But i failed. The only reason was due to early check in that i've made before i came to Korea. So yeah, i had to stick with the same scheduled time.

And the third problem was i was actually not confident to trust AirAsia about the rescheduled time. There was a time when i was in Sarawak, even though the flight is delayed for one hour but they still departed earlier. So i went early to the airport the next morning.

This is the last picture of Seoul that i took before going to the airport.

In the end, my flight remained at 12.45 pm. And yeah, it was a total of 3 boring hours waiting for my flight. I managed to spend some time purchasing Banana Milk to bring home. Some more time to pick up Shrimp Burger for my lunch and another Onigiri because i was extremely hungry from waiting.

So yeah, eight days is not enough for me. I would've traded my working time to buy some times to Korea again. Who knows, maybe soon?

Cost

When i went to Korea last time, i spent almost about 4k. It could have been much lesser than that but i didn't have it well planned so it was all not well sorted.
