Ian's Last Day in Korea

Ian and I spent Wednesday afternoon in downtown Seoul. We walked around the city hall area and saw a bunch of cool buildings. It was a pretty area with lots of trees and lots of art on the streets. The Seoul Museum of Art and a big theater was there too. We then wandered down to see Namdaemun gate and market. However, the Namdaemun gate is gone!!! It was destroyed in a fire last year. They are working on restoring it but it was quite a shock not to see the iconic Namdaeumun gate...very sad. Namdaemun Market was insane as always. Everything you could ever possibly want to buy you could find here. We wandered through the streets until it started to rain and then headed back home.

We picked up a few groceries and a few last things for my apartment. We also discovered that McDonalds delivers here...order over the phone and the McDonalds scooter will deliver to your apartment...pretty amazing.
