Sights in Seoul


During some of my time off I have toured some of the sights around Seoul. This post is kind of a photo tour for you around Seoul. Enjoy!

Korean graffiti on the subway. Look closely their taggers seem to be more friendly than that of their western counterparts.

Lunar New Year


One of the biggest holidays in Korea (as well as Asia) is Lunar New Years! I had the pleasure of experiencing this holiday through my morning Kindy classes, as well as a nice 2 days off this week. I took many pictures of the school activities which included a traditional Korean stick game, kids dressed in their traditional Hambok and a traditional bow to the principal of the school (for money of course).


Playing Yut a Korean stick game, kind of like dice.
