Enjoying Seoul

We love Seoul and it's definitely on our "must-go-back-again" list! Love the place, the food, the people and how everything was a breeze even with the language barrier. Despite the bitter cold weather (averaging -5 degrees celsius in the few days we were in the city), it had been an enjoyable trip. So much have been said about the boredom from visiting filming location of various Korean dramas, but that is only because you have left your travel joys in the hands of your guide!

First Korean spread. P said the bulgogi is heavenly

At -7 degrees celsius, I could barely feel my face

P is a happy man to have met his high school pals. I haven't seen him this happy/ excited for a long time and this came at the right moment in his life, when he's feeling the down from his dad's plight.  With a whole lot of soju and beer mixed and drank in local Korean-style, the now 30-something group of men was brought back to the days they spent in Moss Vale, recalling the fond memories they shared growing up with an international community of hormone raging teens. I was lucky that he survived the walk back to our BB and the puking only started after that. 

In preparation for our next trip to Seoul, I have invested in my first pair of ugg boots!

I love my UGG!
