Well my famous opening line... Sorry it has been awhile since I have undated my blog. With going home for Lauren's wedding and celebrating my birthday weekend, I have been pretty busy. I will start with my experience at China Town. I have a friend here that was going to be leaving soon so she really wanted to go visit Korea's China Town. It was about an hour and a half subway ride all the way to the other side of Seoul. It was well worth the long ride though. The first thing we did once getting to China Town was eat lunch. We ate authentic Chinese cuisine that was delicious. With our lunch we had some sort of seafood/noodle soup and there were many critters in there that I did not recognize as your standard seafood, but once again I do not ask questions here and just eat it anyway. We followed lunch with a little shopping and browsing. I was quite proud of myself because I only bought a fan to go with the Hanbok that I bought the previous night. For those of you that don't know a Hanbok is the traditional Korean dress. They usually wear it for special events such as weddings, and Chuseok (which is the equivalent of Thanksgiving). I probably will never wear mine, but it was just a souvenir that I could not pass up. Anyway back to China Town... We then just walked around China town for a few hours. Surprisingly there were beautiful flowers and a lot of walking paths through wooded areas. This kind of beautiful scenery doesn't come to mind when I think of China town, but I was so glad my perceptions were off.
