Delayed Reports...

Hi everyone! I know that I haven't updated in awhile, and mom says she's going "bonkers" waiting to hear about Jeju-do... I'll get to it. Really. I'll even post some pictures. Currently, though, I've got this "distraction" here that I'd rather spend time with than the computer... But, let me tell you about our last day in Seoul- last Monday (Sept. 19). We left our backpacks at the hostel so we wouldn't be bogged down. Then we went to this really cool looking building we had seen to try to get to the top. There was a restaurant there, so we went up and looked out the windows. Even the bathrooms had huge windows looking down on the city. The view would've been better if it wasn't so hazy. After that we ate at Pizza Hut (hooray for real ham and pineapple pizza!), and headed in the direction of a traditional folk performance that was supposed to be happening because of the holiday. It was a bit of a walk to get there, but we saw some neat fountains and things. Unfortunately the show really wasn't starting until much later, so we didn't see anything there. Then we grabbed our packs from the hostel and stopped off at another part of Seoul to seek out the Hard Rock Cafe. Jason bought a t-shirt, and we saw another branch of that mexican restaurant. We ate dinner there. The area is a really modern area of Seoul. Barely looks like Korea. I guess it's an expensive part where all the movie stars hang out and such. Anyway, chips and salsa were nice, but the food didn't taste like American Mexican food. They put their own Korean twist on it. Oh well. Still a good experience. Oh yes, and the other exciting thing was buying a rainbow colored umbrella from a man in the subway :). From there we went to the bus station and headed back to Dangjin. We were pretty well exhausted from the weekend. There was a LOT of walking involved. It was great to explore the city together, though.
