The rest of Seoul

After the tour, we arrived back in Seoul and explored some more. We walked down Myeongdong street, which the shopping district. We saw lots of great stores and these funny people...

And this guy...yeah


As we continued on, I finally found "hoddeok" one of the many street foods sold, which is a pancake that is filled with a cinammon/sugar filling and fried. It was delicious. I wanted some more later, but Mike refused to go find it with me.


After dinner, we headed to the N. Seoul Tower to see the city at night. It was an ordeal to actually make it to the top, but once we were there, we only had to wait 10 minutes before going up. Parts of the city were pretty at night and others, not so much. Plus the windows were a bit misty from the outside, so some pictures did not come out good. The tower, the city, and Mike finding out how far to Tokyo.





On Friday Mike and I woke up early and headed to the Gyeongbukgong Palace, which was suppose to great. It was huge and we managed to walk around all of it despite the cold and very strong wind. Parts of it were cool, but after seeing it, I decided I like Japanese temples more, probably because they look older and more historic. Here are some pictures:

It was time to leave the palace so we could check out of the hotel and then catch our bus to Okpo to see the Riess family. Our bus was actually very nice and comfortable. By 5pm on Friday we were in Okpo ready to enjoy some fun.
