Seoul Part 3

While I was in Seoul, Soojeong started her new job as an intern at the Korean Travel Organization and had to go to work one afternoon, so we made plans for me to meet up with our good friend Sukyung for a day of exploring the city and shopping. It was great getting to see her again and hear about her life since being back in Korea. We reminisced about all of our fun times and Matsumoto as we went here and there trying new foods and enjoying the day. When we were still in Japan, she had promised that she would treat us to samgyeopsal (Korean grilled meat) when I went to Seoul, and when we finally met she kept her promise and treated Soojeong and I to dinner. It was delicious! I really enjoyed getting to see her again, and I am fortunate enough that I will be able to meet her again in Japan when she comes next week.

The other pictures that I have posted are of a park I found before I met Sukyung for our days adventures. This area was close to Soojeong's building, and it was full of interesting murals depicting the history of different events in Korea. There weren't many people there at all, and the purple flowers were in full bloom. It was very peaceful. The delicious looking cake picture was taken at a very cute and romantic cafe that Soojeong and I went to my last night in Seoul. The inside had a European feel to it, and the lighting and furniture made it a great place to just relax and talk with one another about life and everything that we had done. Being able to visit Soojeong in Seoul and experience her culture was something that I will never forget.
