IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A BIT LIKE CHRISTMAS

I was pleasantly surprised to see this Christmas tree already out.

Yesterday,"Black Friday" as it is known in the States, found us out shopping for bargains. It wasn't because there were any special sales or early bird specials; Friday was just a normal day in Seoul.

However, Merilee had asked us if we would take her parents to see some of the sights we enjoy here. We took them to Gyeongbokgung(the main palace) where we watched a changing of the guard ceremony and toured the buildings.
From there we walked a few blocks to Insa-dong, a delightful shopping street filled with all sorts of "artsy" stuff. There are also many stands selling delicious snacks such as "hodduk" a pancake-like fried dough that is filled with brown sugar.

We ended our day with a pleasant meal at Outback Steakhouse. We then walked along the Cheongye Stream before riding the subway back home.
