Namsan Park and Seoul Tower A big part of our second day in Seoul was spent at Namsan Park . We took the subway to Hoehyeon station and walked for about 15 minutes until making it to the park entrance. Right from the beginning we were climbing up this mountain. There were a couple of options, we could take a stair pathway or a paved pathway. Please enjoy this video we made which summarizes our trip ☺ More fall colors Sam takes the best panoramic shots ☺ Had to pull out the selfie stick to get the scope of where we were ☺ After climbing for a bit we reached a flat area with a large grassy field. People were picnicing, walking dogs, playing ball with kids, and otherwise enjoying the fall weather. There were some pretty interesting statues here as well We walked around a bit, trying to figure out the next step to the hike. We had two options: hike down the other side a bit and take a cable car to the top, or take the stairs. Being a beautif

Thought it'd be a good time for another update post! Happy holidays to everyone, hopefully you all had nice Thanksgivings and are enjoying the influx of Christmas music and cold weather ☺ How are you doing? We are doing well! It's been officially three months since we moved here. Routines have been developed, a feeling of "normal" has reached us, and we are, overall, feeling good. We still love the location, and work has been going well. We had our first snowfall about a week or so ago, which was really exciting. Sam snapped this beautiful panorama during our date last night ♥ What did you do for Thanksgiving? For Thanksgiving we were torn between getting BBQ and trying to track down some duck, (a'la Christmas Story haha). We opted for bbq out of ease, and were joined by two other foreign teachers who were also missing home for the holiday. We had a great dinner and then afterwards we went to a noraebang (Karaoke!) It was our first time going to one and

Our weekend in Seoul was so packed full that we have to divide up the trip into a couple different posts. Here is a quick video summary of the first day and a half ☺ Day 1 Our trip to Seoul began by taking a bus to Osong station , about 20 minutes from our apartment in Cheonju. Osong station is really cool station with only KTX line trains . The KTX is a high-speed train line and while it is the fastest way to Seoul at just under one hour, it is also the most expensive way. Fortunately for us, tickets at Osong station are a little cheaper (reserved seats are W 18,000) than they are from Daejeon station (~W 25,000) so we end up saving a little there. Buses to Seoul go for less than W 10,000 and take 2-3 hours depending on traffic. Regular trains out of Jochiwon or Daejeon stations will cost around W 10,000 as well, and take around two/two and a half hours from the time we leave our apartment.  We figured because it was our first time going to Seoul, and our first chance to
