Seoul

---

The first time we went into Seoul was with Jim and Tia (the couple who's job we've taken over) and Ryan and I were in overload of stimulation. Everywhere you look there are signs, lights, people, shops and they all go up up up so you walk around starring up to the sky and inevitably you run into someone. We have some favourite areas in Seoul, one of them being Hongik where there is a university in the area, lots of shopping and lots of clubs and pubs and classy wine bars. Here you will find the streets still busy and alive way into the morning as nothing shuts down until 9:00am. Whatever feel you're looking for from an establishment you can find there!! Another popular place is Itawon which is near the American military base therefore going there is like going to Western Town. You step off the subway and there are Westerners everywhere. There is a Canadian bar there called the Rocky Mountain Tavern, which sells Molsen Canadian (sadly no Western here) and poutine! There are lots of little tourist shops and Western style bars and restaurants and there is SUBWAY. And yes we get excited to eat Subway because there is no selection for sanwhich meat at the grocery stores.

Busy Streets
This is a popular shopping district in Seoul. There are thousands of shops ranging from cheap T-shirt stores to Gucci and Prada around the corner, The streets are packed and you must get good at walking agressively.

In Search
On a Sunday afternoon Amy, Ryan and myself spent a long time in search of a temple in Seoul. As we passed this little building on the street we were hoping that was not what we had come all the way to see (it wasn\'t!).

Are We Getting Closer
We were still searching when we came across this little temple....we were getting closer???

We Found It
Finally we found the temple!

Temple 2
This temple is very beauitful because there are many colours and patterns painted on the building, plus the mountains are in the background.

Temple 3
This is a picture inside one of the buildings. This Temple is a series of buildings and it seems like a maze once your inside.
