Seoul Tower

One of the great places to go in Seoul is Seoul Tower. It is in downtown Seoul, and on a clear day you can see all of the way to North Korea.








Couples put up locks to symbolize their love. It is really cute!


These are chimneys that they use to light in times of danger

COEX Mall

One of the biggest malls in Korea is Coex. There are tons of interesting things to do there, and outside of the mall. Here are some pictures that we took in that area.

Insadong and Pagoda Park

We also took Roy over to Insadong. There we went through the streets, went to a bird teahouse, and then wend to Pagoda park. It was really fun.

Chris' Birthday

For Chris' birthday, we celebrated quite a bit. We had a party for him at the house with Ben, and then a surprise party at Tony Roma's. It was really fun!

Jongmyo Temple and Changgyeong Palace

One of Chris' friends from Cleveland, TN lives in Korea. So for Chris' birthday I planned a surprise and had his friend Roy come up. It was a great weekend and Roy's first time in Seoul. Here are some pictures from that Jongmyo Temple and Changgyeong Palace that we visited.
