Seoul City Bus Tour

Today was a wonderful day! The main reason being...I got to see family in Korea! My uncle Bob is also teaching English (at the college level) in South Korea. He was in Seoul this weekend interviewing new candidates for the Fulbright teaching opportunity in the United States. He stayed an extra day to take me, Shauna, London, and Britney on the Seoul City Bus Tour. The tour allows you to ride all day and get off at any of the stops for as long as you want with a bus arriving every half hour to take you to the next site. We visited many of Seoul's main attractions starting at 11:00am and finishing at 6:00pm. It was a long, but great day in the city! My personal favorite was our first stop at the Deoksugung Palace because we arrived just in time to see the changing of the guards. Other places we stopped were the National Museum of Korea, the War Monument of Korea, the Seoul Tower, and the Gyeonghuigung Palace (one of many along the way). The one place we didn't stop at was either of the very large markets, which we all agreed would be more fun once we get a pay check. We have plenty of weekends left to get there. Thank you uncle Bob for your generosity in taking us out for the day...we had a blast!
