A Day of Good, Clean Fun

Over the last month, I have joined in with the locals and have become a frequent visitor to a local bar called Dublins. It is there where I've made a tight group of friends and if nothing is going on, we all seem to venture there, often times staying into the wee hours of the morning. However recently, my friend Andrew pointed out that he doesn't have a single picture of any of us sober or outside of Dublins to say the least. So we immediately made plans to visit a famous park, rent bicycles, and have a Korean-style picnic.

After traveling an hour to the park, we were unfortunately greeted by a good rain session. That's when "Plan B" of Operation Good, Clean Fun had to be quickly thought up and put into action.

So we hopped back on the subway and headed to COEX Mall, home of Seoul's Aquarium. It wasn't raining in that part of town, so we decided to check out a Buddist Temple that was close by, taking fun pictures with sculptures every step of the way. The temple was incredible and unlike anything I've ever seen. We learned that the site of this temple is also home to the tallest Buddah statue in Seoul! After our cultural experience, we headed to the Aquarium (a place I've been dying to visit) for fishies!! (Yes I'm still an English teacher.)

It was a great experience filled with many silly pictures, two-headed turtles, monkeys, rabbits, bats (yep - I was confused too), giant sea turtles, Nemos, and sharks. Next stop, On the Border for the best Mexican food Seoul has to offer. I would say it turned out to be quite the adventure after all.
