Seoul's Sungshin University: THE WALL - You Won't Believe What's Inside!
Seoul's Sungshin University: THE WALL - You Won't Believe What's Inside!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the gloriously messy, potentially chaotic, and hopefully hilarious world of Seoul's Sungshin University: THE WALL - You Won't Believe What's Inside! Buckle up, folks, because I'm about to spill the tea, the kimchi, and maybe a little bit of my soul regarding this place. This isn't your cookie-cutter travel review. This is the unvarnished truth, straight from a seasoned traveler (and a bit of a drama queen).
Let's get one thing straight: "THE WALL" is a name that… well, it gets you thinking, doesn't it? A bit mysterious, a bit imposing. I was expecting something cold, maybe a bit brutalist. Turns out, folks, it's a lot more… alive than I anticipated.
First Impressions (and the Hunt for the Holy Grail: Accessibility)
Right off the bat, let's talk access. Because, let’s be honest, in a city like Seoul, that can be a total nightmare. And yes, yes I know that this place is named after a University so it will be more easier to access from a very good point, let's see.
- Accessibility: I'm happy to report that THE WALL seems to be making an effort. They list "Facilities for disabled guests," "Elevator," and they claim to be wheelchair accessible. Okay, that's a good start. I can't personally vouch for every single millimeter of the place being perfectly navigable (I'm a two-legged adventurer, not a four-wheeled one!), but it appears they're at least trying to be inclusive. That's a huge plus in my book.
- Getting Around: Forget the airport transfer for now, that's for later. Parking seems to be a breeze, with "Car park [free of charge]" and "[on-site]". Score! A blessing in Seoul, truly. Also, "Taxi service" is available. Okay, good. They are playing it safe.
The In-Room Experience: My Sanctuary (and Occasional Chaos)
Okay, let's talk about the actual rooms. This is where it gets personal.
- Available in All Rooms: Air conditioning? Check. Alarm clock? Check. Free Wi-Fi? DOUBLE CHECK! (That's the stuff that keeps me going, you know?). Bathrobes? Okay, classy. Bathtub? Yes, please! After a day of pounding the pavements, a bathtub is the best. Blackout curtains? A godsend. Cause you want to sleep in sometimes.
- The Good Stuff (and the Quirks):
- Internet: Free Wi-Fi! Praise the internet gods. Because no internet, no me.
- The essentials: Coffee/tea maker? Fantastic. Complementary tea? You are talking my language. Really appreciated. And Free bottled water? You know it.
- The Small Stuff: There is a "Mirror" and "Toiletries" which is essential. Also, "Towels" are very appreciated. Slippers? Okay, fancy.
- The Comfort: A "Seating Area" is very welcomed. Separate shower/bathtub? Chef's kiss. Soundproofing? Crucial for sanity. Wake-up service? For those days when I just can't.
- The Extra Luxuries: They even offer "Extra long bed" and "Interconnecting room(s) available". "On-demand movies" are also available, so I think I'll just stay in the room all day.
Beyond the Room: Leisure and (My Obsession) Relaxation
Here's where they really got my attention.
- The Spa Scene: Okay, folks, listen up. They have a Spa! A Sauna! A Steamroom! And a Pool with a View! My inner hedonist just did a little jig. I'm already picturing myself, swaddled in a robe, sipping something fruity, gazing out over… something scenic. The "Pool with view" is particularly intriguing. Is it a rooftop pool overlooking the bustling city? Or something more serene and nature-focused? I need to know.
- Fitness Center? Yes, please. I mean, I say I'll use it. In reality, I'll probably end up spending more time thinking about working out than actually doing it. 😅
- Other ways to relax: "Foot bath"? "Body scrub"? "Body wrap"? Okay, okay, now we're talking. This place is clearly designed to melt away stress.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Because Fuel is Important
Food, glorious food. This is where things get really interesting.
- Restaurants, Restaurants, Restaurants: I'm seeing a "Restaurants" plural. A "Coffee shop". A "Poolside bar". My stomach is already rumbling.
- The Food Variety: "Asian cuisine in restaurant"? Fantastic! "International cuisine in restaurant"? Even better! "Vegetarian restaurant"? YES! They even have "A la carte in restaurant", "Salad in restaurant" and "Soup in restaurant".
- The Extra Little Things: "Breakfast [buffet]"? The holy grail! "Breakfast service"? "Breakfast takeaway service"? BRILLIANT! "Happy hour"? Well, now we're really talking.
The Daily Disinfection and Other Important Stuff
- Cleanliness and safety: "Anti-viral cleaning products" and "Daily disinfection in common areas" are very good.
- Food Safety: Having "Individually-wrapped food options" and "Sanitized kitchen and tableware items" are also very appreciated.
- Health service "Doctor/nurse on call", "First aid kit" and "Hand sanitizer" are a blessing.
Let’s Talk About the Details for a Moment (I get side-tracked easily)
- Cashless payment service is a must nowadays, I love this.
- Contactless check-in/out: Smooth and perfect for avoiding unnecessary human interactions.

Final Verdict (and a Little Bit of Me):

Okay, buckle up, buttercup. This isn't your sanitized, Pinterest-perfect itinerary. This is Sungshin University, Seoul, unfiltered. And I'm basically dragging you along with me.
Operation: Wall-Crawler (and Maybe Cry a Little)
Day 1: Arrival in a Blur and the Majestic (Maybe Slightly Overhyped) Wall
- 7:00 AM: (Actually more like 8:30 AM, thanks to the eternal battle of the snooze button) Land in Incheon. Jet lag is already kicking my butt. I swear, the airport smells of kimchi. Not complaining. Hungry!
- 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Airport chaos. Navigating the train. Almost got on the wrong line because, well, I don't speak Korean (yet! I tell myself confidently). Found my AirBnB. It's…cozy. Tiny, but hey, should expect it in this city.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Immediately. Found a street-side bibimbap place that looked legit. The ajumma (that's what the lovely older ladies are called, right?) was so sweet. I think she laughed at my attempt at chopsticks. I felt a pang of embarrassment, mixed it with a bite of delicious food. Perfect.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: The reason we're even here: The Wall, Sungshin University. Okay, okay. I'd seen the Instagram posts. The photos. The… everything. And it's… impressive. Actually, it's kinda mind-blowing. The sheer scale of it is overwhelming. The way the light hits the brick… swoon. But let's be real, it's also crowded as hell. Took a dozen selfies. The typical tourist stuff.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Wandering around the campus. Feeling utterly lost. Seriously, the buildings here are HUGE. It's like a whole city of college kids. Found a tiny cafe tucked away, tried to order a latte (and failed miserably). The barista giggled at my mangled Korean. Whatever, at least the coffee was good and I can sit and watch the world go by.
- 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner. Got lost again. Found another random restaurant. Ended up eating something that looked like a steaming pile of noodles. It was actually delicious. I can see the food is very good.
- 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Crashed back at the AirBnB. Still wired from the flying and the caffeine. Couldn’t sleep because, you betcha, I am jet lagged. Scrolling through Instagram, looking at more pictures of the wall. Still feels unreal.
Day 2: History, Heartache, and a Whole Lot of Kimchi
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Trying to find some kind of breakfast. Found a small market near the University. I didn’t quite know what I was getting, but i bought some. And you know what? It was good.
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Visiting a history museum of University. Honestly, I'm not usually a history buff. But this was actually fascinating. It's really cool to learn about another culture.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Tried finding a shop with a specific item. Got lost again. I have a terrible sense of direction, Okay, maybe I hate directions.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Back at the Wall. Seeing it again felt a little different. A little less awe-struck. I sat there. Thinking about my life. It's weird how a place can do that to you.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner. Tried to order something new. Looked at menu. I don't know how to read the menu. The waiter was SO patient with me. I swear, the locals here are saints.
- 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Walking around the shopping district. I am not a shopaholic, but the lights, the energy… I had to go. I was having so much fun.
Day 3: The Final Farewell (And Maybe a Little More Wall-Gazing)
- 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Packing. Saying farewell to my tiny, cozy room. Already feeling a little sad to leave. It's funny how quickly a place starts to feel like home, even when it's the size of a shoebox.
- 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: One last desperate attempt at finding that souvenir. Success! Kind of. Okay, it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but close enough.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Back at The Wall. One last look. This time, I just…sat. Really took it in. Watched the light change. The people coming and going. I can feel it, as I'm about to leave. It's like I'm never going to forget this place.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Lunch. That little cafe. My last latte. It was bittersweet.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Headed back to the airport.
- 7:00 PM: Airplane.
The Bottom Line:
This trip? It was a mess. I was late. I got lost. I butchered the language. I probably ate something weird. I cried a little. But it was also… amazing. Sungshin University, the Wall, the food, the people… it all kind of… got to me. Seoul's got a hold on me. And I suspect it'll stay with me long after I unpack my suitcase.

So, what *is* this whole "thing" about? Like, in a nutshell?
Ugh, the nutshell? Seriously? Okay, okay, fine. Let's say... it's about the stuff you *don't* see on the highlight reel of life. The messy bits. The awkward moments. The times you want to crawl under a rock and scream. It’s about the journey of… well, *being*. It’s about figuring out what the heck is going on while simultaneously having no clue whatsoever. Think less "Instagram influencer" and more... well, me, probably. But hey, maybe someone will find something interesting, or at least laugh at my misery. That's basically the whole point, right?
What are you *trying* to achieve here? World domination? Enlightenment? A free coffee?
World domination? Maybe. Enlightenment? God, I wish! Free coffee? YES, PLEASE. Honestly, I’m aiming for, like, two things: First, survival. Surviving another day. And second… (deep breath) … To connect, I guess. Like, maybe if I spill all my guts (and trust me, there's a LOT of guts), someone, somewhere, will go, "Oh thank GOD, I'm not the only one." Because the silence of thinking you are the only one struggling is KILLER, seriously. That's the big picture.
Okay, okay, but *specifically* what kind of stuff are we talking about? Like, is this a self-help thing? A travel blog? A collection of poorly-written poetry?
HA! Self-help? Oh, honey, no. *I'm* the one who needs help! Travel blog? I can barely afford groceries, let alone a trip to, like, the Bahamas (though, hey, if anyone wants to sponsor me… just kidding… mostly). Poetry? Ugh, please don't make me. My writing is… shall we say, *imperfect*? Look, it's a bit of everything. Maybe a bit of nothing? It's about the messy details of life. Work, relationships, bad hair days, existential dread. That time I accidentally wore my underwear backwards for an entire afternoon and only realized when getting changed for dinner? Yeah, that kinda stuff. The random thoughts that pop into my head? Buckle up, because those are coming. I might rant about how much I hate Mondays (who doesn’t?) and then, five seconds later, be all excited about a really good cup of coffee. It’s… chaotic. But hey, isn’t life?
Do you… you know… have any qualifications? Or is this just… you, rambling?
Qualifications? Oh, you want a resume? Let me dig that out... (rummages through imaginary pile of papers). Okay, here's the deal: I've got a PhD in Messing Things Up. I'm a certified expert in overthinking. I'm also pretty good at making instant ramen. Honestly, beyond that... nope. No super impressive credentials here. I'm just… me. And, yeah, there will be rambling. A LOT of rambling. Consider yourself warned. If you want facts, go read a textbook. If you want… well, *this*, you're in the right place. Consider yourself advised, and... welcome.
I'm feeling a little… lost. What do I *do* with all this?
Lost, huh? Join the club. I’m basically the captain of the "Lost and Found" crew. Seriously, you're gonna feel a TON of that while reading this. First, feel free to just… read. See if anything resonates. Maybe laugh at my blunders (please do!). Maybe find a moment of peace in seeing how much you’re *not* alone. Maybe, just maybe, you'll feel a little less crazy yourself. Seriously, that'd be amazing. Secondly, if you've got your own story, tell it! Comment, reach out, scream into the void… whatever works for you. Because, honestly, we're all just figuring this out together. It can be so lonely feeling like a weirdo, so if you're feeling a weirdo, let's be weirdos together. And also, if you happen to have any good coffee recommendations… I'm all ears.
What about the bad stuff? The really *hard* stuff? Are you gonna go there?
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. The hard stuff is the stuff that makes us human, isn't it? The things that make you want to hide under the covers for a week? Yeah, we're going *there*. I'm not saying I'm going to spill all my darkest secrets right away (baby steps, people), but I'm definitely not going to shy away from the tough topics. I've dealt with (and am still dealing with!) my fair share of… well, let's just say "stuff." Things that have knocked me flat. Stuff that makes me question everything. So yeah, the bad stuff? Definitely on the menu. Prepare yourself. And me too, actually. Because talking about it can be… well, it can be a huge relief, even though it is also terrifying.
Okay, so you mentioned "messy details." Give me an example.
Alright, alright, here's a prime example: My relationship with my cat, Mr. Fluffernutter. (Don't judge the name, okay? He's a fluffy jerk, but I love him). Now, on the surface, it’s all cute Instagram pictures and meowing at the door. But the messy details? Oh boy. First and foremost, the smell. The *smell*. Then there's the fur. EVERYWHERE. Like, I'm pretty sure I’m wearing him. Constantly. And the hairballs. Don't even get me STARTED. Then there's the mornings when he decides my face is a suitable place to knead and purr at 5 am because, you know, *he's hungry*. And oh, the judgemental stares. He judges me. Constantly. For napping too long, for not giving him enough treats, for... well, everything, probably. It's a love-hate relationship. Mostly because I'm the one loving, and he's just… a cat. And yet, the second he deecides to cuddle? I'm utterly, completely, and hopelessly smitten. That, my friends, is a messy detail. That is life.
Should I expect any… consistency? Like, will there be a regular schedule?
