Seoul fish market breakfast

 Underground train with safety doors




Raw fish for breakfast. Better than the  live octopus side dish

Seoul tourist sites

 We visited two palaces in the centre. In addition to the smart guards some people were dressed in hangbok traditional dress

 Air gun to clean dirt from your shoes after a walk. Not needed if a wild boar has got you.

 Korean cutlery often includes scissors

 Sea food pancakes and makali in Insadong

Sout Korea Cheonan



 Cheonan city centre. Only one hour from Seoul on the bus courtesy of the bus lane.
Great food and an Izone in 7 Eleven.

 Dinner at the home of one of Youngmi's school friends
 A snake at the buddist monastery. I am glad I didn't sit on the rock

 Blossom all around the monastery- beautiful

 Monastery lunch -very healthy

 Kimchi pots in te Background as a 19cm from Lotteria is offered.

South Korea Seoul





You can't go wrong with Bibimbap. We caught the limousine bus from Incheon airport to the suburb where Youngmi's sister lives. Worked well but on the return we used the subway which was about 4,000won instead of 20,000 and about the same time.
Sister lives in one of many apartments in Seoul on the 30th floor. The view was great. It was presidential election time with posters everywhere
