Seoul Food

We're in Seoul. One day left. Here are some highlights of what we've done so far:
  • Some palace which if I told you the name, you'd forget it anyway (but, it looked like Mulan or something out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).
  • LOTS OF WALKING
  • More lights than Vegas, but more overwhelming 'cause you can't understand 'em.
  • Jumping across a four-lane intersection on the white stripes (like Buddy the Elf).
  • Going to the biggest church IN THE WORLD!!!! Note: If you go, be sure to take pictures before they put up the "No pictures, please" sign in the foreigners' section ;).
  • Experiencing the joys of staying at a run-down hostel that, according to the Internet, won some award for being the "best foreigners hostel" in Seoul in 2001....
  • Going into "the bowels of the city" over and over again to ride the subway
  • Eating at a nice Italian restaurant that had no smell of Kimchi whatsoever. (Asssahhh!)
  • Watching an incredible percussion show performed entirely on kitchen objects! Very, very animated and very, very entertaining, and very, very Asian. :)
  • Eating waffles.
  • Eating Subway, surrounded by foreigners
  • Free samples of fried squid from a street vendor
  • Starbucks- just the smell, and then Jason sweet-talking the manager into selling him something that isn't normally for sale... and then she even wrapped it up all pretty and gave him a free gift!!!!!!! (Jason felt kinda guilty afterwards...)
  • Pagoda, Pagada...
  • Aren't subways ingenious?
  • Walking down city streets that were quiet and abandoned because of the holiday. Unfortunately that meant no Mexican food because many restaurants were closed, too.

Ok, enough Internet. Time to go add to the list!!
