Seoul Trip
February 26, 2006

Today Jin's family and I took a trip to Seoul.  We went to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone between North Korean and South Korea), walked around downtown, visited her brother-in-law's home & spent some time with them, and toured a palace of the Joseon Dynasty (originally built in 1395).  I took a trillion pictures and ran out of battery juice.  I categorized the pictures to make them a little easier to sift through.  Sit back for an hour or so and check them out below.

What I learned today about Korea:  1)  I should've been a Korean King.  I finally found chairs big enough for me...the throne at Gyeongbokgung Palace!
