A friend of a friend of a friend. That's the best way I can describe Amy. But, she's awesome. I said something to Spenser about going to a traditional tea house he had been to before and he said he was up for it so away we went. It turned out to be a very long but great day with lots of sightseeing and adventure. We started off with the National Palace Museum right outside of Gyeongbokgung, then got some lunch. After that, it was off to tea before relaxing along the Han for a bit. Next, we rode a water taxi on the Han, well worth it, at least once. Finally, we finished the night in Hongdae for a delicious dinner and a few sips of maggoli. All in all, a very full day and lots of fun. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
(The new, cool thing to do in photos... in front of Gyeongbok Palace)
(Walking along the wall to lunch we magically appeared at this little photo opportunity)
(Not sure, but it's something along the lines of I will never grow old or die old since I walked through that gate...)
(Start of the National Palace Museum - these little guys were used by the kings servants to commandeer horses and men, and other supplies)
(Sweetest clock ever. It was a water clock that was magical, to say the least.)
(Traditional Korean Clothing - Hanbok)
(Instrument - rub a stick up and down this guy's or girl's back)
(Hmm... what could this guy be for in the medical section?)
(Acupuncture dummy so you know where to stick the needles)
(Changing of the Guard at Gyeongbokgung - looks pretty traditional)
(How about now?)
(Lunch time)
(Entrance to the tea house)
(Teatime - seems British...)
(Amy and her tea)
(Katrina and her tea)
(I had some apricot tea that was delicious!)
(This is how one style of tea was served)
(Courtyard at the tea house)
(The entrance again)
(Spenser and his tea with more of an artistic feel)
(What could that be? A water taxi, for us...)
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on a river)
(63 Building - famous building in Seoul)
(Another shot of the 63 Building and part of the Seoul Skyline)
(Myself, Katrina, Spenser, and Amy)
(Me being a goofball, and a not a very good one at that)
(A little subway art on the trip)
(Katrina, myself, Amy, Ellen, also a new friend, and Spenser at the end of a fantastic day)
