I started the day with a run in the park. Absolutely gorgeous day. Did a little over two miles. The park runs all along the Han river and there are plenty of bridges that cross. A little bit late, Meine Schwester, and The Archivist and I headed out to the Korean Folk Village. We thought [...]

I was in the lavatory on my flight back from Seoul. Pants down, in the middle of peeing, when someone started banging on the door. What the hell? The door was rattling, and the banging continued. I yelled out, “Just a minute.” And I tried to hold the door closed. It is almost impossible to [...]

Our night out was a bit draining, so we took it easy in the morning. For lunch, we met up with some friends and had some good ol’ hamburgers and fries. And some margaritas. Hrm. I almost forgot about the margaritas. Or aiming fluid as I like to think of it. We then ventured out [...]

I forgot that I have The Archivist’s photos as well. Here are a few of the first three days. The Archivist making her grand entrance into a palace. That first Chinese word means gate. I don’t know any more than that. Sisters posing at the palace. We should have been princesses! Walking around palaces is [...]

We started the day as typical American Tourists. We went to Starbucks. I know, pathetic, but we really wanted some caffeine. A little iced, vanilla latte to start the day and deal with the heat. Supposedly, the weather was better than it had been the week before, but I’m still spoiled from the lack of [...]

After returning from a stressful day at the DMZ, we decided to check out an Italian restaurant down the street. Except for the language, Seoul seems very much like being in New York. But there is always something that is just not quite right. Tonight it was the mozzarella balls. See the explaination in my [...]

I forgot to mention a few more things about the DMZ. We also took a tour of the 3rd Tunnel of Agression the North Koreans were digging to get to Seoul. Sadly, no one can take photos, but you can see some photos of the maps on the wikipedia page. The Wikipedia page on the [...]

I know I’m strange. But the DMZ was my favorite part of the trip. Especially this. If you look closely at this photo, you will see a North Korean soldier. And then if you look even closer, you will see in the window beside him…a pair of binoculars.

For our second day in Korea, we took a tour of the DMZ. This is actually a picture of me on the North Korean side of the room. I was petrified to cross the line. That is a South Korean guard there to protect us. Someone once went behind the guard and the North Koreans [...]

We’ve been really busy, seeing as much of Seoul as we possibly can. Our days have been super full. We spent Friday visiting Changdeokgung and Gyeongbokgung palace, the National Palace Museum, the Jogyesa Buddhist temple. The palaces were large and open, but they are all painted to look the same and are empty of anything. [...]
