We are here in Korea. We landed here landed last night and we had a great day today.
When we got to the airport yesterday we got seats almost right away, we only had to wait like ten minutes. It was a goodflight, one of the women beside me had two seasons of Seinfeld in her bag, and the other woman beside me was kept checking her face in the mirror. We landed in Korea at about 4:oopm, and then we took an hour long bus trip to our hotel which we had trouble finding. Mum and dad made us go out after that, I could have slept right n\then but it was only 6:00pm. We went out for dinner to a Korean hotpot restaurant where they cook your food at your table. We looked around in one of the markets but didn't buy anything, mum got a really weird ice cream cone though. Today we went to the Seoul Historical village, that was its name. There were old houses and the people that worked there didn't clean up garbage, well they did that, but they sat in the houses and wove cloth and ground grain. There were a lotof animals and there was a very cute bunny rabbit in one of the houses. They had kept all of the old houses and they were in really great shape. We saw two performances, one of a singing/drumming group and one of an old man on a tight rope, he kept bouncing up and down and he kept talking, everyone was laughing except for us, because we had no clue what he was saying. We also went to one of the two museums, the second was under construction. In the museum there was a whole was devoted to the different coming of age ceremonies, and part of that was how to better your chances of having a baby boy. There was nothing on how to better your chanced of getting a baby girl. It was a very good museum. It took us an hour and 45 minutes on the subway and on the tourist bus and it took even longer to get back, we stopped for dinner.
We went to a Korean hot-pot restaurant, there was a little stove in the middle of our table and they brought us all kinds of vegetables and sauces and then they brought us some pork, which we cooked on our in-table Que. It was pretty good. We then came back to our hotel and booked for another two nights here.
In the lobby there is a business room where they have two computers and they have wireless Internet. Mu computer won't pick up the wireless network because it is configures differently, and being stupid I forgot to bring my Ethernet cable. I have to use one of the hotels computers and it is almost impossible. I couldn't figure out how to change the keyboard from Korean to English, I have to go to Google and use the drop bar, hoping that somebody else had used blog spot today. They had. This is a very long post and you win a prize ifyouhave lasted and read all of it. Your prize is metaphorical of course, I apologise if you thought that you were going to actually win a prize.
