Seoul 2011


This weekend was a whirl wind of awesome. Nick, Campbell and I left for Seoul on Saturday morning. The KTX was a ton of fun and relaxing. When we got to Seoul we managed to find our way to our hostel Fully Guest House. It was a great hostel the bed were good, short (perfect for me but not so good if you're tall) and korean style hard. We then found SUBWAY! I was so excited and Campbell had never had it before.



After we went to two palaces. They were fantastic. The structures were often remade because of fire and or the Japanese occupation. We ran around and met a lot of people from all over the place. That night we tried to find Mexican food...found it....they were closed. We were not impressed. Got mediocre Italian instead. We decided to just go home and get an early start. We wound up talking until about 2:30am.


The next morning we woke up and got going at the reasonable hour of 10. We found the market we wanted to go to and then FINALLY got Mexican food for lunch. It wasn't as spicy as I would have liked but it was good enough. We also did a bit of shopping at the big stores, well Nick did, Sorry Korea I'm not a size 8. We got over to the train station with plenty of time...especially since Campbell got the time wrong by about an hour and a half. Luckily it was later and not earlier. So we ran around the shopping center at the train station and got coffee. All in all, it was a great trip one that I would like to repeat in the future.
