Out on the town with family and friends

 Here is a few different pictures from a couple of weekends ago.  As you can see there is a lot to do.

Visitng the school I am taking Korean classes at


Seoul National University


Museum of Art



Itaewon.  A place to buy anythig and everything.


I said everything.  There is even a Taco Bell.


Below the alley market is an underground market.


More to buy in Itaewon.


Chulho and his family at dinner after a play.


He is ready but he did not use the knife or fork for the pizza.


The Foxrain executives trying to figure out what pizza to get.  Chulho and Jungwa.

 
Dinner at TGI Fridays.


Do I need to say anything?


A Korean lunch.


It is still cooking and I am still waiting.


So lets have a drink of WATER while we wait.


On the subway on the way home.

A little culture

I had the pleasureable experience of visiting the Korean National Museum while they were hosting a cultural event outside.  I got to play traditional Korean games as well as going through the entire down stairs of the museum and seeing the entire history of the Korean peninsula.  It was a wonderful experience with my wife, father- in law, and mother- in law.  Here are a few pictures.
The steps in front of the museum.


NOT sure what I am doing.


My wife and Mother in law playing a traditional game.  I won't show you who ended up on the ground.
(yes, I do have pictures)


I did not get a chance to try this one.  Young and old spinning  something like a top.


My wife giving the drum a try.


Waiting in line.  Something I have come to expect in Korea.


I was not at good at this one.


I am not sure if my father in law was making rice cake or just getting rid of any frustrations.
  I know which 1 did.

 
A coffin of sort.


I would trade outfits with him any time.


Wow.


How did they fit that in?  I guess it is like the ship in the bottle


Now that is a throne.
