Day 1 | Seoul
Things in Korea are so cute. Even their police station.
Gyeonbokgung Palace
Cheonggyecheon Stream
The hike up to Namsan Seoul Tower
Outdoor gyms they have around South Korea for anyone to use. This one was about half way up the route I took.
What I thought were piles of trash, turned out to be hundreds of Love Locks.
They even covered the railing overlooking the city.
Day 2 | Seoul
Lotte Town Star Avenue
Bongeunsa, Gangnam-gu
Seoul Forest, Seongdong-gu
The forest was used as a royal hunting ground, but now the approximately 1.16 million square metres are free to the public to visit, with an insect garden, a cultural art park, a wetlands ecological field and more.
Day 3 | Seoul
Bukchon Hanok Village, Jongno-gu
A rainy day in Seoul kept away the heat, but it also kept me from hiking in Bukhansan National Park. Instead I found these traditional houses stuck in middle of other modern shops and restaurants.
Myeongdong Catholic Cathedral, Jung-gu
Siloam Sauna, known as a jjimjilbang
Packed with people, food stalls, clothing shops, and so much more, this is the largest traditional market in Korea. I ended up coming back here on a quite evening.
I also walked back toward city hall, near Gyeonbokgung Palace.
Day 5 | Daegu
South Korea is full of what look like thin buildings, until you realise they are actually quite large, just very tall.Day 6 | Daegu
Downtown Daegu. Not nearly as large as Seoul, but they do have some interesting places.Day 7 | Busan
Dunkin' Donuts is popular there. Cute is more popular.Gwangan bridge
Day 8 | Busan
Jagalchi Market
They cook the fish fresh outside their little restaurants where you can eat more fish than you could ever want, or eat, unless you have a group of people.
Great advertisements.
Haedong Yonggungsa Temple
Day 9 | Busan
Another cool and windy day. At the beach.Day 10 | Gyeongju
Previously the capital, Gyeongju is full of tombs, temples, and more.Bulguksa Temple
I never figured out what these little piles of rocks were, but there was a section full of them. They even covered the tops of the walls and the doors.
Seokguram grotto
I took a bus up from Bulguksa temple and when I woke up, we were surrounded by fog. Unfortunately, no pictures were allowed in the grotto.
