Our next to last day.............

On Sunday we went to Seoul, the capitol and 9th largest city in the world. We took the KBX which is a bullet train. See on the TV screen we were traveling at 305km/hr. That translates to over 189 mph. Very sooth and comfortable.

We toured the Changdeokgung Palace.

The War Museum of Korea. The gentleman in the second pic is someone who just walked into the picture.

Downtown Seoul with a river running through it much like Jordan Valley Park.

Buddha's birthday is this month and a parade was held.

Us with Korean and Thai friends enjoying a downtown snack and beer.

Of course we were watching the football (soccer) game between South Korea and Ecuador. We won.
More of the river as dark sets in.
Monday was spent on temple tours and a tomb tour. Our hosts were into ice cream so I had ice cream for breakfast and lunch. Baskin Robbins green tea serbert anyone?

Today we have a meeting with the education department to discuss opportunities for exchange and to learn more about their system. Then we visit a traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Hospital. I'm up for acupuncture.

Tonight is our farewell party. Should be fun.

Tomorrow is packing and a long ride to Inchon for our flight home.
