Weekend in Seoul

A quick breakfast of soup, fried pork cutlets, beer and coffee at Airport Restaurant before the flight.

The weird elevator bathrooms at Gimpo Airport


The slowest moving sidewalk in the world

Tourists...

Judy and Andrew's Beds at the Western Co-Op Residence Hotel

AC unit and small door

Korey checking things out on the other side of the small door

Korey's bed and our office

The view of the kitchen and the hallway from Korey's bed

A sweet ride

And another

A happy Judy in the seafood jerky section of the market

Dried things from the sea

Mmmmm, crab salad!

Crazy Korean beans

These are your shrimp salad options


A wall o' dried fish mouths

Tuna and Spam gift sets


The fountain to end all fountains

This motorcycle sold cups of cotton candy and pumped out sweet Egyptian jams


At the entrance to the Changdeok-Gung palace


Half bucket hat / half driving cap

Judy and Andrew out front of the sleeping chamber of the dude on the 10,000 Won bill



Sweet Armani pants and Gucci shoes, dawg...



The whole gang


The gang posing with our tour guide.
She began the tour with the greeting, "Good afternoon. Nice to meet you and I love you."
She also pronounced 'royal' as 'lawyer,' which caused some confusion.


Judy and Korey hating the tour.
It was awful.

Great matching couple!
As they always say, two Kangol caps are better than one.

After the palace, we headed to Namsangol Hanok Village to celebrate Chuseok in the traditional Korean style. Chuseok is Korea's Thanksgiving holiday.



A really nice hair style



Traditionally, Koreans give thanks by catapulting one another into the air on a seesaw.


This couple was amazing


Andrew and Korey tried, but they couldn't get the rhythm down.


Not sure exactly what she's signing here

Jedy is here!

That is actually a male statue behind them.

After they get a good warm-up on the catapult, Koreans continue to give thanks by wrestling in the sand pit.
This mom and son wrestled for quite sometime. The match came to a close when the boy got sand in his eyes and started crying.

We think they are making ricecakes here

A traditional Chuseok offering


This woman used something to make another notch in the man's belt. Midway through trying the belt on, he walked into the bushes to take a leak. When he emerged, the belt was back off and he buried it in the garbage. It was really strange.

Then these three sweater clad dogs got into a rumble

While we watched them untangle the dogs, this nice couple brought us sliced pears to snack on.


This is the subway, not a cave

"We just passed two Koreans and an orangutan, so... we're headed in the right direction!"

Sexy escalator pose

You're inside a cave, Korey. I think you can remove the Ray-Bans...

The Power Couple
(Take note of his shoes)

Old Koreans are so weird!


Amazing picture!



Yay, BSB!!!

Jug Jug - Beer & Salad Bar


Korey texting in a bookstore

He like Rainman. He no smart.


That night we hit the town Korean style!

Some lips with a turd hanging out


Andrew found the solid gold hi-tops of his dreams!
The most amazing Vans ever made.

We thought we'd be able to find a Bloody Mary at the Outback.
We were wrong.

Only 5,500 Won for a Guinness Ladies Draft...



Sweet shoes...


The warning on the menu:

This guy might cause the safe problem
