We are having a blast exploring the amazing sights in Korea! We zipped around on their sleek and spotlessly clean subways to visit several palaces and museums. The straps on the subway cars reminded me of the old-fashioned straps we used to have on NYC subways that coined the term “straphangers” for commuters. But these straps were way cooler. The stations even play music to announce the arrival of the trains! We also hitched a ride on some cabs, especially for our trip to the Banpodaegyo Bridge over the Han River for its amazing rainbow light and water show. Hundreds of people were sitting to watch the amazing sight! We had a picnic where we gorged on kimbap, a portable version of bibimbap (one of my favorites), and some tasty Korean fried chicken. Are there any cons on the trip so far? There are so many steep stairs and steps in Seoul! I am so glad I’ve been training for them. Also, don’t get your hopes up for real coffee or half-and-half to use at home. Only instant is available as far as I can see. I’ve been whipping up some half-and-half and my morning Cuban-style coffee is to die for!
Palaces, Museums, and K-pop!
