Seoul has Soul

It took us three hours to get to Seoul from Andong. We thought we knew where our hotel was but it turned out a lot hard to find, guess it didn't want us to know it's Bizness. We stayed right next to Insadong which is a fantastic place for souvenir shopping and eating. 
Eating in Korea is tricky because sometimes you don't know what you are putting in your mouth. Nick knew what he was getting into and you might not believe me when I say this but the picture is my witness. He asked for that green leaf in his hand...................
 and then he ate it! Miracles happen, you all just witnessed one!
Tasty cream and chocolate filled Churros
 More food!!! We love our food. YUM!!!!
You should remember this amazing Oreo bingsu from a previous post. Mom and Don enjoyed it immensely....
Well maybe a little too much, "I can't feel my eye" (Don) HAHAHAHA We laughed for days just repeating that line! We couldn't count how many times he stopped eating because of a brain freeze, guess he enjoyed it.
 The famous mirror picture!
 We walked a lot in Seoul and it was worth it to see these places.
The two pictures sandwiching this description are of the old and new Seoul City halls. The old city hall is the cube building and was built by the Japanese during the occupation previous to World War 2. The new one is the Glass building that looks like a Tsunami wave.  I wonder what the architect is trying to tell us.  Maybe you can leave your theories in the comments.

Of course we had to take them to the Temple, our favorite place in Seoul.
We found an awesome bench in the subway. If you can't read the English print it says, "You are not alone." but I would think if you have friends that look like that, loneliness isn't your biggest problem.
We walked by an old Palace.
 Don stopped to admire the bumps for the blind people.
 He also stopped to check out this Golf place!
 Before we knew it we were on the train headed to Mokpo.  Nothing like the Korean KTX to get you there in style.
