Lost Luggage at Kukdo?
So, I stayed at the Best Western Premier Hotel Kukdo last week for a business trip. The hotel itself was fine, nothing special, but the whole experience was soured by losing my luggage. It was a nig… more
Ugh, that's the worst. Lost luggage is a total pain, especially when you're on a business trip. I've never had that happen at the Best Western Premier Kukdo specifically, but I've lost luggage before at Incheon Airport – absolute chaos. The luggage trackers are a good idea, seriously. I use one now and it's given me peace of mind, although I'd still make sure you have copies of important documents separate from your luggage itself.

Download a offline map of the area before you go. Seriously, Seoul's alleys are legendary for swallowing tourists whole. Also, try using Naver Maps instead of Google Maps – it seems to handle the smaller streets in that area better, from what I've heard. And maybe carry a picture of your hotel or a landmark you know nearby? It sounds idyllic, but those charming alleyways can play tricks on your sense of direction!
Yeah, good points! I should have done that. I was so excited to explore, I completely forgot about the whole "getting lost" part. Naver Maps... noted! I'll definitely download that before I head out again tomorrow. Thanks for the tips, seriously. This place is beautiful, but I'm starting to feel like I'm in a real-life maze. A very pretty maze, though.
