니가 가라~! (16): 임박한 숙박권을 처제네가 또 잘 소화했습니다^^ [Marriott Le Meridien Seoul 투숙후기 포함 + 찔러나보자 74]
Marriott 85k짜리 숙박권이 11월 8일자로 만료가 되는 가운데, 도저히 숙박권을 제대로 쓸수도 없고 시간도 없어서 처제네 카드를 또 꺼냅니다!
이번에는 Marriott Le Meridien Seoul을 예약하였고요, 당시 65k밖에 안되서 85k 커버할 수 있는 숙박권을 쓰기는 쫌 아까웠지만, 일정이 정해져있고, 다른 호텔들은 불가능해서 여기로 찜했습니다. 당시 일반룸 가격이 대략 한화로 60만원+이었는데요, USD는 대략...

London, England 여행기 – Part #3 Big Bus London
런던여행 3일차에 혼자 다녀본 Big Bus London 후기입니다.
3박 4일의 짧은 런던 일정이라서 계획해본 빅버스 투어인데요. 투어라기보다는 Hop-on, Hop-off 가 가능한 버스라서, 단시간에 이곳저곳 제가 원하는 곳을 갈 수 있는 큰 장점이 있어서 선택했습니다. 결론적으로는 상당히 만족합니다. 제가 운전하는것도 아니라서 더더욱 편했던것도 좋았어요.
