Last days in Seoul

As you can tell by now, I didn't get a whole lot accomplished in Seoul photo wise. Family stuff can do that to you. All the more reason to come back though.

"Does this make me look fat?"

Angel's share

In the odd chance that I ever get a whiskey bar up and running it helps to see how others are doing it. While I still feel that Japan still does the particular type of bar I enjoy best, Seoul is getting close. The Bing soo is there because I love bing soo. Notable mentions include the following: Vault 82, B28 Seoul, and The Factory

Day 17: Walk down the river to the market

First some solung tang



The river walk (Cheonggyecheon river) is a fine example of urban planning that by day serves as a popular tourist spot and by night becomes a haven for couples

This one missed the memo

That's more like it




Halfway through the walk one can always grab something to eat at Gwangjang night market. The ajemahs that work and eat here are stone cold killers

"I didn't order that"
"Yeah you did. Eat this kimbap too"

"If you're not too busy Friday..."
"Don't even think about it"

Don't remember anymore what I did this day. But I apparently had delicious fried chicken

Crowded market




Lots of shoes




Shopping works up an appetite. Braised pig's feet

Day 13: A hike and more wandering

I did a short hike up over where the president's residence is. Took some pics along the way.


Korean Bansky?




I liked the patterns on this wall




Everything about Seoul is about being a couple
