Seoul! Seoul! Seoul!

The Gyeongbokgung...

A sundial in the palace...

The National Folk Museum of Korea... Which is located inside the Gyeongbokgung... And since it's free... Go in!

An exhibition of comtemporay designed hanbok...

More...

What can I say? I must miniature models...

The team in blue will be playing a traditional 4-4-2 with the team in red opting for a flat back 4, a diamond in midfield and tandem striker... Oh wait... That's not how this is played? Ok...

It's the year of the Tiger next... I'm a Tiger... In other words... I'm 24 next year!

Another shot of the Gyeongbokgung...

The Changgyeonggung... Which is closed... =/

The Changdeokgung... Which is opened! Woo!

I love the colorful gates of the palaces...

Fat pigeons... Fatter then Singaporean's... I wonder if I can eat them for dinner... =x

Nandaemum market!

Lunch! Finally had my galbitang... Which I had a lot of during my first trip to Korea... Not because it's that good... But becoz... When I step into a restaurant at the end of the day after cycling... I'm all hungry... And when I look at the menu... Galbitang was usually the only thing I recognize... Kinda stupid of me... =D

Glorious food!

Namdaemun... Or Great Southern Gate... Which got burnt down in 2008... Now under restoration... There were widespread mourning after the arson act... Pretty weird to the average apathetic Singaporean... I guess the best description I can think of is... Crying after the Merlion got struck by lightning...

Dongdaemun... Or Great Eastern Gate... Which is still standing... After I seen Namdaemun and Dongdaemun... I wonder if there is Seodaemun (West) and Bukdaemun (North)... Hmmm...

Dongdaemun shipping district...

No idea which fish market is this... We stumled across it while trying to get to Yeouido to see the 63 building... Never got to Yeouido... But the fish market is an eye opener...

Cold noodle... A classic case of going into a restaurant and ordering randomly... The shopowner spent the majority of his time staring at us eat... It was weird...
