More Adventures

Haven't posted much lately, so it's time for an update

Decided to check out the aquarium in Seoul. It's in an unusual location: a mall.  After going to the National Aquarium in Baltimore, I'm sure it's really hard for anything else to compare, but it was still a good trip anyways


This picture doesn't do the size of these crabs justice!











































After getting done with aquarium (and decided all the stores in the mall were too rich for my taste), I took a walk outside and right across the street is Bongeunsa temple.Still a functioning place of worship, its on a rather large piece of land in the middle of the city. Unfortunately, it was spur of the moment that I went, so I walked around the grounds to check out the buildings. The amount of detail in the painting on the buildings is absolutely amazing!



All in all, another fun day venturing around Seoul.  Still many more sights to see.

Now it's time to prepare for the squadron gunnery. Lots of long days ahead, so I'll update when we get back!

  1. I used to love visiting the temples when we were there. The people were always so welcoming. They are probably the one thing in Korea that hasn't changed since we were there.
