Seoul weekend!

So the two girls who live in my building took Mel and I up to Seoul.  We rode the train/subway.  It was great! The seats are heated! That's how the train is heated. So cool.  You obviously have to give your seat to the elderly but you have to leave these two seats at the end of the train always open. Or you get stares. Apparently unlike the ones we get now.  Insanity!  I get stares cause I'm apparently 4,000 pounds and it is shocking that I roam the Earth.  But really it's no worse than anyone else gets.  Apparently people try out their English on us.  So far when we all walked off the subway we got a "Hello, how are you?" or something like that from this cool looking old man with a LONG white beard. Radical. I swear.

So we had lunch at this place called Sand presso. GUESS WHAT THEY SERVED?! hah everything was good!  Afterwards we went to a palace. It was goregous, but SO SO cold out.  There will be photos on facebook and flickr.

After we went to this little outdoor market. Again FREEZING! outside, but a decent amount of people.  Apparently it's hard to move around there in the summertime.  Inside one store one man was talking about the flags on one of the girls bags.  He was nice, just trying out his English.  I got a touque for 8,000 won, some incense and a burner (which come in handy....Korea smells WAY different than Canada. Or at least it's different than Canada...I don't know. They cook fish and it smells fishy like everywhere. So strange.....)

Then off to the foreign food market. Where I got Lays Salt and Vinegar chips (YES! Chips are hard to come by in: A. regular at home flavours and B. tasting like they do from back home) and some pepper and salt.

Then a book store with English books.  I found Russell Brand's book and I had to get it.  Then we had dinner at a Middle Eastern place.  I had falafel. SO good. Not  greasy, just right.  It was really good. Then home and I think I fell asleep REALLY fast.
