Hello, everyone! I'm just hoping to spell correctly at this point. I think we have slept 5 hours in the past 50 hours, so my wits are a bit dull. We had a great day and wanted to get in as much as possible. Daniel is STILL out walking around the area while I write this blog. He is having the time of his life.
We set out right after meeting Jake today for Seoul Station and the train ride to Suwon. Just a bus ride from there, we visited the Korean Folk Village. I'm including a few pics here. Remember how disappointed I was when I visited Seoul last year that there was "just too much city"? Well, I found the trees and it was beautiful. (Okay, the mosquitos are the size of a half dollar, but we left when they arrived. In fact, this is mosquito season. Did you notice the bites on Jake's face in the pictures?)
We "strolled" through the Namdaemun market afterwards. Found out that it is around the block from Seoul station. Okay, so we were AT Seoul station and still took a cab. We knew it was close, but the intersections (rotaries) are a bit intimidating at 6pm. Namdaemun is kind of like a park-and-swap, except the stands are in front of shops and there are two humans for every square foot of space. =)
Dinner was at Tony Romas. I needed that comfort food after putting in such a long day. =)
Enjoy the pics. They were all taken at the Folk Village. If you know your Korean history, this village is modeled after lfe in the early Joseon dynasty, circa 1932.
More tomorrow after we see Jake again. =)
Love,
Chris
