Okay, so today around 12:30 I left my apartment and took about a forty minute subway ride to go see this palace. Well i got off the subway and saw the wall right away but I had no idea where you were just supposed to go in. I just decided to walk up the street which ended up being a very nice quant little area. It was charming! I ended up eating at a restaurant and having very good spaghetti with minced beef and vegatable sauce and a coke for about $7.50, so kind of high. Then I ended up finding the Seoul Art Museum and decided to go through the exhibit titled "Dual Realities" 3 floors of it. It was interesting, but I don't think I understood all of it, I think the purpose was about questioning reality and stuff and they did that through art, but modern art. Like DVD animation stuff, and very modern things. The third floor, however, had a very fun exhibit that was hands on. It was a square wood area with flowers painted on it, covered in Japenense paper of some sort, and then a projector shining on it with light that was somehow animated. Well there were kids throwing paper in the air and then at one point a lot of us were throwing it up because that it was made the flower garden come alive. I cannot really explain it, but I liked that part the best and watching the kids have a blast throwing the paper. Then finally I found Deoksugung Palace in the middle of the city surrounded by the sky scrapers that surely weren't there when it was built. I found out that today there was a culture show to so there were all of these people dressed up in traditional costumes I added a photo. The palace area is very big, and it was peaceful and the day was great for it. Fall like, cloudy but still light and there was a breeze while I was walking around just admiring its beauty and imagining what it was like when royalty lived there. However, this palace is not as old as some probably only goes back to 1592 I guess, that is what my information card says. I had a good afternoon discovering more of Seoul!

Then after that I bought a cord to connect my camera to my computer so now I can show pictures. I discovered that Techno Mart is an eight story mall. . .where I got it. I could spend some won there, wait until I get paid though before I decide to buy anything more though maybe and even then it is better conserve.

So today was a better day than last night ended up being. My parents sent me a package yesterday and they tried to send me a bottle of Baileys, but the bottle broke, which is llike my favorite drink. However, the two bottles of Sapphire Gin stayed in tack, so last night I had some of that maybe more than I should've. I also sent an email that is probably going to come back and bite me in the face, which was not a "drunk email" but I don't know about it.

Enjoy the pictures!
