Itaewon

Our goal today was to venture to a new area of Seoul to visit the Leeum Samsung Museum of Art. By the time we arrived we were very hungry! Luckily we passed this cute cafe on our way to the museum.

We had squid and fennel salad, a roasted pumpkin salad and bread with "artisanal jam."

The entrance to the museum was very modern. The digital displays on the floor continually counted down from 9 to 0.

We had come to the museum to see the Christian Marclay exhibit the centerpiece of which was a video meditation on time.

Megan thought that the Christian Marclay show was boring.


After leaving the museum we wandered and saw these beautiful views.
We also saw this very sad flyer. Poor little guy.

We had wandered into the hills and weren't exactly sure how to get out. I had a slight fear that we would be lost forever.

Megan would like me to point out that she did NOT think we would be lost forever and then said that she is no sissy and then she grunted and punched me in the shoulder (too much "man tea," I suspect).

Luckily for us a little fox came out of an alley and led us to the main road.

We found a coffee shop that served Intelligentsia coffee and a very British cup of tea.

Then they played two Led Zeppelin songs followed by Madonna's "Justify My Love" which prompted Gabriel to wonder aloud why coffee shops play such bad music.

All I can say is look at this amazing sunset!

All I can say is "Hey look a geodesic dome."


This is a spicy soup with noodles and fish. Megan told me not to take a picture because it would make us look like outsiders. I pointed out that we are outsiders and she approved the picture taking. P.S. This tasty dinner was only $5!
