(Dustin here... Ali makes me identify all my posts because she doesn't believe they are as good as hers and are filled with spelling errors. :) For those of you who are interested in continuing inspite of all that, below are some highlights of our travels so far on day 3 in Seoul. :)
Ali down below waiting for the Subway:
First stop was the Korean War Memorial. For this photo, the photographer was yelling, "give me deer in headlights! deer in headlights!!!" So, we did.
Enjoying a frosty Korean beverage before moving on to our next stop:
This was a brief trip across town at the beautiful Gyeongbokgung Palace that was constucted in 1395:
Here I am at another part of the same palace, also part of the National Folk Museum:
OK... next stop - TechnoMart! Now this might be one of the most amazing (modern) places I have seen since we have been here (Warren and my father might agree!). 10 floors of nothing but electronics - hundreds of different stores. unbeliveable!!
We had a traditional Korean lunch ("Bibimbap") at a wonderful cafe that was part of the national museum:
OK... next stop - TechnoMart! Now this might be one of the most amazing (modern) places I have seen since we have been here (Warren and my father might agree!). 10 floors of nothing but electronics - hundreds of different stores. unbeliveable!!
All for now. We are taking a quick rest and then off to more shopping and dinner with Ali's cousin! We are really looking forward to seeing her! Tomorrow (Thursday) we move from our hotel over to the agency guest house and spend more time with Jaden and prepare for our trip home on Friday morning!
Not bad dustin :)
ReplyDeleteThe food looks yummy, that is a good sign! Enjoy your son tomorrow.

You did a wonderful job, Dustin, and don't let Ali bully you! :) Nice post. It makes me miss traveling very badly. (Can you be homesick for leaving home? I am.)Maybe you'll get to return someday with Jaden....
ReplyDeleteDustin's posts hands down beat Ali's. She has not once mentioned TechnoMart. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys are having a fun day. Can't wait for tomorrow. Exciting!
Bee-bim Bop! I love it. I've made that at home once...yours looks like what I came up with, so that's good. Loved the Bee-bim Bop book too. Thanks for sharing your adventure photos...Seoul looks so interesting.
ReplyDeleteWow! Seoul looks amazing....ok and technomart....if only they would do that with shoes......; ) Can't wait to hear about the move to the guest facility! x
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing about your posts is that I can hear you each saying them, so I can't really judge unless I were to say that I like hearing one of you more than the other. Haha!
ReplyDeletePS Ali - if you haven't already guessed, I'm hooked! I look at this site a million times a day now checking to see how you are doing. I can't wait to meet this kid! - Supah!
Dustin, please accept my apologies on Ali's behalf...I'm sure that you must have misunderstood (hah!).
ReplyDeleteThanks to both of you for your ongoing posts and pics (btw - there will NEVER be too many pics!). I check several times each day for updates - even at work. It is so much fun to be with you step by step.
Please give Annie hugs and kisses from all of us, how exciting for you all to meet up with each other!
Congratulations Ale & Dustin, from your "extended Canadian family".
ReplyDeleteWe're very happy for you.
