Up at 7:00 AM and our group met Aaron and Jeong Mi at 8:00 AM to head to the subway to travel to Seoul for our "Seoul City Tour" bus adventure! We grabbed a quick bite at a Dunkin' Donuts near the ticket office in Seoul, then decided to walk to the Gyeongbokgung Palace instead of waiting to see it as it is the last stop on the bus tour. We were able to get some great pics of King Sejong and his warrior friend.
King Sejong
The Korean Alphabet was written on all the flower seats.
At the Gyenogbokgung Palace we were able to view the Ceremony of the Changing of the Guard and had 45 minutes to tour the massive palace buildings and grounds! This is the main palace compound of King Sejong.

Then back on the bus to see the sights of Seoul! Kelly, Melissa, and Alan got off the bus to explore the Korean War Memorial. Jeremiah, Aaron, Jeong Mi and I got off at Itaweon for some shopping, and exploring. Then it was back on the bus for the N Seoul Tower tour!
Always a must see activity when one is in Seoul Korea! We traveled back by way of the subway system and rested a bit... then headed to Radio Bar for a relaxing time with friends and family!
Alan, Melissa, Kelly, and I checked out "The Giant" - a night club on an upper floor in our building... glad we saw it but decided not to stay... so went into a Chicken n Beer establishment but decided too difficult to order any food there... checked out the Lotte Mart food court... closed.. so headed for McDonalds for a late evening meal.. then home to bed.
