8/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑) It was a satisfying modern ryokan equipped with a private open-air bath in the room, excellent large public baths, private reservable baths, and various free snacks.

7/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑) Compared with an international flight, this was a much simpler economy experience, but the spacious seat, personal monitor, external camera, complimentary Wi-Fi, and even consommé soup made it surprisingly enjoyable.

6/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑) It was a direct flight but a unique one with a stopover in Rovaniemi. The service was simple, just water and blueberry juice, but thanks to the row 1 bulkhead seats and a crew that carefully prioritized safety, it was an acceptable short-haul European flight with no major inconveniences.

🗓️ Mar 2025 Stay | 🌏 Seoul, South Korea | 🛏️ Courtyard Suite

8/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑) While the location at the far west of Seoul might be polarizing, the accessibility to Magongnaru Station and Seoul Botanic Park, the spacious Courtyard Suite upgrade, and free breakfast and coffee passes made this Courtyard highly satisfying, especially for Marriott Elite members. The fundamentals of the hotel itself were also very solid.

🗓️ Nov 2024 Flight | 💺 Economy | ✈️  A321-200

6/10 (🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑) It was a European domestic economy flight that covers the basics but nothing more. The chaos of a small airport, simple in-flight service, and disappointing priority baggage handling remained, but thanks to the bulkhead seats, blueberry juice, and personal device entertainment, I was able to travel without major inconveniences.

🗓️ Apr 2023 Stay | 🌏 Daejeon, South Korea | 🛏️ Premier Corner

As Daejeon's only 5-star hotel, the panoramic views, spacious Premier Corner Room, satisfying breakfast, and Shinsegae connection were definite highlights. However, the cumbersome parking, limited check-in counters, and poor service response left something to be desired.
