A hodgepodge of sorts

Pictures!Brown Class Kinder Graduation Ceremony

Stanford Class Graduation Ceremony

Seoul Museum of History

I think an old map of Seoul.

The 4 most influential Kings of Korea.

Palace. Once you've seen one you've seen them all. They really are all the same.

A picture of me of course (shameless)

Some tombs of Soldiers in the middle of Jamsil.

More tombs.

Tombs plus city backdrop.

I went to a wedding on Saturday and it was so cute. When I walked out of the subway station they had written this on the side walk. I thought it was the cutest idea ever. They also had arrows every couple of yards pointing you in the right direction.

This was at the Dragon Hill Lodge on an Army Base in Noksokpyong.

And probably ruining their privacy here is a picture of them haha. She just looked so beautiful I had to share with everyone.

The Long Awaited Conclusion of Incheon

So the next morning when we leave we get Dunkin Donuts and find the subway to go to Incheon. When we get there we find the bus we need to get on and go to the port area. First though we found some street fair. It looked pretty shaddy and I have issues with rides now a days (getting old :( ) so Jess S and K went on what looked like the viking. They said at first they were fine and having fun but then it started to go really high and like I said shaddy.

We leave that little area and head over to the ferry's that take you over the tiny islands. For some reason we decide to go on a cruise boat instead. Little did we know this cruise boat would be filled with halmoni's (very old women all dressed in the same flowery shirt and giant visor) as well as a few foreigners. The boat was literally a party boat. There was loud music and even shows you could watch. The halmoni's really enjoyed these things. I don't know why considering the beautiful ocean view we were experience on the outside but whatever floats your boat (oh I'm so hilarious).

On the outside of the boat it was actually a little chilly and these giant seaguls were following the boat the whole time. They would fly up really close to me and then turn and look at me. It freaked me out so much. I mean they were freaking LOOKING at me with their scary food seeking eyes.

After about an hour and half of the halmoni fest we got off the boat and headed over to the China town portion of Incheon. We ate "Chinese" food which isn't anything like Chinese at home. I miss you General Tso's and crab rangoon! This little area reminded me a lot of San Francisco. Anyway after that we ended up going back home. It's about a 90 minute subway ride from Incheon to Cheongdam with one or two transfers. My butt was numb by the time I got off of that thing.

Yeah sorry that wasn't very interesting to make everyone wait so long for. I really am going to try and update this a lot more I promise.
