Seoul Man (and lady)...

On what will be our last long weekend in Korea, we took a 3 day trip to the city of Seoul. We had quite the time. We marveled at the secret gardens of Changdeokgung (The Royal Summer Palace), did a spot of souvenir shopping in Insadong, the art and antique district of Seoul, sampled the delicious international cuisine and happening nightlife of Itaewon, learned about some of the sadder points of Korean history at the War memorial Museum and Seodaemun prison, and saw some amazing marine-life at the COEX Aquarium. All in all, a spiffing weekend all round.

Seodaemun prison was where the Japanese imprisoned, tortured and excecuted Korean independence fighters during the Japanese occupation of Korea from 1910 'til the end of WWII
