Some new photos of Korea. I added one new one to the Songdo area of the sunset from the top of our building. I added two new photos to the food section showing this do-it-youself bbq style that is very popular here. And then I added some new sections to the Seoul Area of recent excursions. First was to and area of the city called Itaewon. This area is known to be very international with many different ethnic restaurants, bars, and stores. It was very enjoyable to walk around and see the the diversity. The next area was Dongincheon. This is the Chinatown of Seoul. There were many Korean tourists with their cameras so it was nice to not feel like the only tourist for a change. Next was Bupyeong. This is mainly a younger crowd hangout and we always have fun when visiting. And finally, I visited the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty called Gyeongbokgung. The palace was originally built in 1395 but destroyed by the Japanese in 1592. It was reconstructed in 1868 and included nearly 330 buildings (all of which are not standing today). The main purpose of this palace was for government administration, residential areas for the king and queen, and peaceful relaxation areas. It was a very beautiful and peaceful place (apart from the tourists). Alright, that is all for now. I will try to be more efficient about posting these photos so it doesn't come all at once.
