In Seoul

Our halfway point was marked with a visit to Seoul, about 4 hours from Gwangju. What a beautiful city, with the mountains as the backdrop and tons of green space. It has the international feeling of other big cities around the world and we love walking through the streets discovering just a taste of what the city has to offer. Gwangju feels a world away, with all the Korean cultural flare that you would expect. We are stared at and treated like rock stars in Gwangju, in Seoul, you blend in much easier. Candace actually ate a steamed silkworm, and said it tasted like $*@! it smelled like it to, Mr Park ate the whole cup while the rest of us politely declined. The team had the opportunity to go out to clubs in an expat area and meet others from around the world who share their love of Korea. Today we are shopping in a market, then going to a temple to stay overnight, very excited about this.
