Sunday in Seoul, Train Tickets and Markets

Today me and Nikki went into Seoul to try and get train tickets to go to the south of Korea to see some friends she has there. Next week we have 5 days off for Chusok Holiday. Yippeee! Apparently its a huge holiday here and the trains get booked up early. So we get into Seoul and ya, no seats! At all, for the five days!!! So we came all that way, and we really want to go somewhere for the holiday, so we picked a random place from the Lonely Planet and decided to go to the "Las Vegas of Korea"!! So off we go to the beach for 3 days!! Can't wait. Ya I know I've only been here for 3 weeks, but I need a holiday already! We are very excited for an adventure. After the train station we went to a market that was near by. Here are some pics from the day.

Some pics of the food at the market.



A wall of seaweed

Lots of knock off purse stands






In front of City Hall

There was something going on here, not sure why, but there was this cool drum band playing. We only got to see the practice because we had to get the bus back to Suji. But they were great, and they gave us plastic coats!



Chia pet sculptures!!! Hahahaha.
