Sunday Strolling

Sunday has just passed, Giovanna and I took ourselves into Seoul for yet another meandering Sunday stroll around some sights. We went for a spontaneous selection. We met on the platform at Oryu-dong station and upon opening our Lonely Planet Seoul guide we decided to dart into the War Museum. Well that was the plan, but we had spontaneity running through us and when we arrived at the museum we realised that we could spend a good hour or so just walking around the museum and not actually venturing inside. So that is exactly what we did.
As you can see from the picture above, It's a huge museum. The pictures below are of some of the statues, planes and other Korean war artifacts.
After the indulgence of war 'stuff' we headed into a very popular shopping area called Myeong-dong. Our first port of call was to get something to eat. A Tofu house was what we were looking for and then we got bored and just decided to walk into the next place we found - luckily enough it was a Tofu house. Delicious hot and simply spicy beef Tofu soup with a range of side dishes, including rice and dried seaweed. Then we started our march around the many clothes shops. I was looking to buy a pair of jeans. I was nearing a shop that was the place to go and then we got ransacked into a shop with a 'SALE ON' - in we went and 15 minutes later we walked out. I had purchased a very smart, sophisticated gentlemens jacket for a mere £30.00 - reduced from £120 - needless to say I was very happy. The pair of jeans will have to wait till pay day.
Monday arrived, which is now, and vacation is very much over. Next holiday is early February, when hopefully Giovanna and I will be taking ourselves to Beijing for 5 days.
