Time Capsule Park and Folk Village

While walking, Chris and I came across time capsule park. In the park was a time capsule that should be opened in a hundred years. A little walk down from the park, was the traditional folk village. It was great to see and experience all those neat places.

Seoudamun Prison

We really love exploring all of Korea, so we took a trip to Seodaemun Prison. It was a detention center during the time that Korea and Japan were fighting. There were many torture rooms and pictures there, and it was so sad.

Insadong and Gyeongbeouk Palace

When Chris got here, we decided to spend the first few weeks exploring Korea. One of the first weeks, we went to a great traditional part of Seoul called Insadong. They sell many homemade crafts there. After going there, we walked over to Gyeongbeouk Palace and explored the palace grounds and the national folk museum there.

Incheon and China Town

During the first month in Korea, Chris and I took a trip down to Incheon, Korea. Incheon is a sea port city. So, the Chinese people have established a China Town down there. So we went down there for a day in China Town and on the Boardwalk.
