Check out day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 of my trip with my parents!
After waking up, we went downtown to Gwanghwamun Square where there were some different celebrations going on related with the opening of the renovated Gwanghwamun Gate and Independence (from Japan) Day. We walked past a whole bunch of people who were watching some sort of concert (which turned out to be some kind of Christian concert).
We then took the subway to Seoul Station and took the train down to Suwon to see Hwaseong Fortress. Before getting in the station we ran into an interesting gather outside having to do with peace and unification so we stopped and watched for a minute.
Oh yeah, I don’t have any pics from it, but I did take my parents to Yongsan and walked down the red light district (where woman present themselves at windows as they wait for male customers to get *cough* service). My mom really enjoys seeing ‘different’ things and she did enjoy getting to see something extremely out of the ordinary ^^ For those who don’t know where it is, it’s between the new and old Yongsan station on a street which has blinds which partially block the view down the street from the main sidewalk and says in Korean ‘Youth prohibited’ or something like that (can’t remember).
