My Favorite Seoul Sightings

Here are some of the prettiest (and oddest) things we spotted in South Korea:


We arrived during Yonsei's spring festival. Mechanical bull anyone? Photo by Erin Chapman.

Korean truck stops are more like carnivals than truck stops. This little boy is eating fruit on a stick. Photo by Erin Chapman.

The shrimp burger was not as good as the bulgolgi burger. Photo by Erin Chapman. 


The view from the top of North Seoul tower was amazing. Note that all of the tower names are in English. Photo by Erin Chapman.

South Korea is a place that truly appreciates musical theater. Consequently I love South Korea. Photo by Erin Chapman.

In Jeonju City we slept in a traditional Korean hut (aka on the floor with Spongebob blankets). Photo by Erin Chapman. 


Two things: First, Korean "museums" are often just stores. Secondly, the man in the background is on a forklift, holding a large umbrella sifting through garbage. Photo by Erin Chapman. 
 
We were surprised to find an art gallery under the bridge. Photo by Erin Chapman.
