Visiting Korea was a fun getaway to a neighboring country. We saw plenty of sites and various things were both cute and puzzling. From theme cafes to poo-based attractions, this city had a lot of eccentric items. K-pop was abundant, but we tried to get in a fair amount of nature as well. We loved Bukhansan National Park. We visited Hongdae, Gangnam, Myeondong, and plenty of other neighborhoods while trying out Korean Barbecue, kimchi, Korean double-fried chicken, and noodle dishes.
Starfield Library was impressive

Our favorite part of Seoul was getting to meet up with Ben's cousin Erin who is currently studying there. She was able to show us plenty of other cool parts of town and even explain to us what was going on! She could properly order food and could introduce the girls to Korean karaoke where both loved belting out the songs.

Lastly, we made a trip out to Jeju to see "The Island of Seawomen." Having read a book about these inspiring and amazing women (Haenyeo) made some sights even more awesome. Seongsan Ichulbong was a beautiful spot in its own right, even with the weather being somewhat uncooperative. The women, most elderly at this point, continue to dive (for up to 3 minutes at a time!) and cook and it's incredible to see.
