"Burning Time Until We Get Louis"
After our successful second meeting with Louis yesterday (Weds), we took to the streets for a western meal (Tiff was very pleased) and to some of the shopping districts around Seoul. We went to Itaewon then back for dinner near Hongik University (which is near our temporary home at Eastern).
Today we had a nice breakfast on the way to the subway, then headed to Insadong (where we stayed in 2007) and Dongdaemun (an overwhelming shopping district) for some sightseeing and more shopping.
In less than an hour we'll be meeting up with 2 other Minnesota couples and head to a walking tour in Insadong of the local food/drink. It should be great and we're looking forward to even more new experiences with new friends.
Here are some pics of the last day or so after our meeting with Louis:
A little Burger King goes a long way...
The streets of Itaewon:
A much needed caffeine stop at Tom n Toms coffee, who offers "tall" and "grande" sizes and whose logo looks strikingly familiar to a coffee house started in Seattle...
Eating outside near Hongik University. If anyone knows the history behind these walls, please let us know!
A great breakfast this morning on the way to the subway...every day should begin this way!
Looks like we missed the Seoul Fringe Fest by about a week...
The subway has become a familiar place for us- good thing the cars are air conditioned...
Visiting a scroll shop in Insadong to get Louis a scroll with his name and birthday written on it...
Lions Club way up on the top of the building- a familiar sign!
One of many "gates"...this one located as you come up from the subway at Dongdaemun:
Every man's nightmare: an insane discount shopping district!
Can this motorcycle pack anything else on the back??
More to follow in the days to come! Hope all is well where ever in the world you happen to be reading this blog!
