I’m a Seoul man
After 23 hours, we arrived in Seoul–where it’s cold and wet. We visited the Korea Life Insurance company, where one of our hosts was a transplanted Californian, whose dad made her go back to Korea for college because he thought she was becoming a Valley girl. The building housing KLI is the tallest in Seoul, and we also went to the observatory at the top, but because of the fog, all we could see was the river down below!
We have had some great Korean meals, including bibimbap and the Korean pancake. Unfortunately, we are in a hotel in the “new town” so I will not be able to visit Scout headquarters.
We are going to a folk village tomorrow, then to one of the palaces—and leaving Sunday morning. By then, I hope I’ll know where I’m at–we’re 14 hours different than you are!
