Robb’s ankle was still hurting from yesterday so we took it a little early today. Headed out later in the morning towards
Gangnam. We didn’t see Psy (of Gangnam Style song popularity) but we did see a lot of very rich and expensive stores. It was incredibly hot so we only saw a portion of Gangnam, mainly
K-Star Road which is where many K-Pop entertainment management agencies are located. Gangnam is in fact a very trendy part of Seoul and has a vibrant nightlife. But at Noon during 40C weather, we didn’t linger very long. We took some photos and opted to go back to an area near the hotel where there are lots of restaurants and had our first taste of
Chimaek(“Chi” for Chicken and “maek” which is Korean for beer). JoSo had some “maek” as well – we couldn’t let them only experience the “chi” could we?
On our way back to the hotel, we passed a very pretty area with a stream running through the middle of the city. You can dip your feet into the cool water and rest a while. We had our umbrellas with us – carried in case of rain, but which served
us well to keep the hot sun off our faces – so we sat in relative comfort despite the day’s heat.
Six hours of walking.
Palaces tomorrow as we missed these during Monday’s hop on hop off as the Palaces are closed on Mondays.

Where's your left arm?
Nice father daughter shot. Interesting picture as it looks like the lower part of you left arm is missing :)
