Seoul, Republic of Korea is a really modern metropolis alongside lots of dissimilar neighborhoods to explore, like to Tokyo. We didn't larn to everything, but definitely spent iii activeness packed days exploring! We flew on a armed forces hop to Osan Air Base (which was exclusively a ninety infinitesimal flying from Yokota AB), thence took a motorbus to our hotel inwards Seoul.
The girls felt really grown upward sharing their ain row on the flying over.
The start 24-hour interval nosotros visited the War Memorial of Korea. It was a really hands on too engaging museum of Korea's armed forces history. The grounds were beautiful too!
We happened upon a armed forces demonstration inwards the front end courtyard when nosotros arrived.
They were doing dissimilar drill exercises alongside the guns. Very fun to scout (took me dorsum to my drill squad days inwards high school).
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 photograph op within the museum.
Outside at that spot were several corridors commemorating lives lost inwards defense forcefulness of their country. Names were printed along the columns.
Outside at that spot was a non bad display of diverse armed forces vehicles, equally well.
You could climb on many of them.
This boat nonetheless had bullet holes all over the place!
There was also a non bad persuasion of the N. Seoul Tower from here, a famous landmark of the city.
Such lovely autumn weather!
We spent near of the morn at the museum, thence headed to the Namdaemun Market for tiffin too to wander. In the subway, at that spot were several of these cases of supplies inwards illustration at that spot is an assault or natural disaster of around sort. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 proficient idea, but a picayune creepy too!
The Namdaemun Market is the largest of its form inwards Korea too sold everything from socks, to jewelry to handbags. There were blocks too blocks of shops, it was genuinely fun area.
There were also a lot of street nutrient vendors. Anyone for around silk worm larvae? (No, I simply wouldn't displace that one.)
Our search for a bath led us upstairs through an strange building, too into a HUGE warehouse full of costume jewelry. It looked to hold out around sort of wholesale house too people were assembling items together. So interesting!
Rows upon rows of rings, necklaces, bracelets, charms, you lot advert it!
At the cease of the marketplace nosotros came across the Sungnyemun Gate, which was originally built inwards 1396 too was ane of the master copy gates into the walled metropolis of Seoul. (I ambit got to admit, I was a little taken aback alongside the dirt entrance, since everything is ever manicured to perfection inwards Japan. I estimate I ambit got been spoiled!)
The ceiling of the gate was painted beautifully. This gate was genuinely burned to the Earth inwards 2008, but latterly restored.
We finished off the even out at a funny present called Bibap, a cooking/singing/dancing/comedy show? The girls loved it too specially loved that Matt got called upward on phase to help during ane of the acts. He seems to ambit got a knack for beingness an audience "volunteer". Poor Matt!
