Seoul Tower

A little while ago, Correne and I visited Seoul Tower. It is a fairly large attraction in Seoul, so we figured we should check it out. It is very high above the ground because it is built on top of a mountain. There is a very large walking trail around the tower that we had the pleasure of walking because we got lost. Our plan was to take the tram up to the top of the mountain, but instead we walked for over an hour just looking for the stupid thing. After a while, we finally agreed that we were not going in the right direction. We headed back down the hill, and found the tram. We went into the park at the wrong point. If we had just walked for another two minutes we would have found the tram right away. Oh well, I could use the exercise. It all worked out. Because of our delay, we got to the top of the tower in time to see the sun set. It was reallt beautiful. The city is so huge, and so polluted. You can see everything from this vantage point, and unfortnately, that also means you are eye level with the brown haze that floats over the city.

Despite the detour, and the smog, the view was actually very nice. I have made a Seoul Tower folder in the photo album, so be sure to check it out.

I will be adding some more photos of the school from our recent field trip to the Children's museum. Stay tuned.

Cheers,
Paul

It's about time

I know, I know... that's what all of you are thinking. Well the hell have these two been? Well not much has changed. We're still in Korea and still working really really hard. As usual, I have started writing a blog with no time available, but Paul will do an entry about our trip to Seoul Tower (which was a couple of weekends ago). Until then... here is a new picture of us... we took it this morning so its nice and recent!

We will also update our photos with the Seoul Tower pics. We're already started ordering Holiday gifts so if you get a package please don't open it!

We love you all and we'll write more soon!
