Our first excursion was to Suwon just a few stops up. Great first experience for us and the girls! The ticket machines are also in English, so we bought our ticket quickly and away we went for 1300 Won one-way (read a little over $1). Most of the seats were taken, but two ladies made room for Holly and Sarah to sit down. They just loved all over the girls for the 20 minutes it took us, and the girls just ate it up!
This weekend, we decided to venture a bit further. It was cold and overcast, so we went to the Aquarium in Seoul. Again, they have a wonderful system here and have a fully interactive map on their website. All you do is enter in your start point and your destination and the map will tell you the route, if you have to transfer, what your fare will be and the estimated time. Not only did the trains ran exactly the times that are posted, we were at our destination at the estimated time the Metro system said we would be there.
We also had in-train entertainment with live infomercials! We had the opportunity to buy dried crab (we think..), a multi-tool with a built in flashlight, and a love song/soft rock 6-CD set with lyrics.
After a full day of the Aquarium, walking around the COEX mall, and finding the yummiest cupcakes we headed back home on the subway trying to think of where our next subway adventure will take us.
