I thought I'd be able to check out tomorrow but my first day in quarantine wasn't counted. Apparently the clock starts the day after you arrive. So Wednesday will be my first day back on the outside.
I'm planning to meet up with James in Hongdae, which is looking like the best neighborhood for me to settle down in. It's much easier to get around there with just English because of the universities nearby, it's relatively cheap, and there's a language exchange meetup that meets daily at a bar. If it's still happening of course, although it looks like it is.
I was a regular at a language exchange meetup in NYC and it was kind of a turnkey social circle. Perhaps it'll be the same here. As long as it doesn't turn into a cluster....apparently one popped up in Itaewon which is another reason why Hongdae is at the top of my list.
Now I just need to book an Airbnb. There are not a lot of good options, everything is tailored to students bunking in groups. I think I found a decent option but it seems a little sketchy, might be false advertising.
No matter where I end up, I'm sure it'll be better than this quarantine hotel room. There's on thing I'll miss though: the electric toilet seat warmer. I dunno why we don't have these in America.
