So we arrived in Seoul and met up with Nathan; our expat friend whom we last saw in Jamaica and the time before that in Nicaragua. Interesting pattern. Anyhow, he took us through the maze like underground of the Seoul Metropolitian Subway System, to a street market (where all goods where cheap and plentiful and sometimes strange) and then to the Seoul Museum of Art ( for a Van Gogh exhibit on display).
The market was loaded with all sorts of cheap and interesting items. You could get just about anything here

The next day we toured around the city. Saw the Seoul Tower, the 63 Building, and spent a good part of the day walking around the Gyeongbokgung Palace. This place was really incredible. The original palace was built in 1392 for the royal family and has subsequently been rebuilt in phases as various structures deteriorated. Here are some of the shots we got on this rather frigid day.
