South Korea

We had an extensive tour of Chang Deok Gung Palace, stopped at a large artificial river (Cheonggyecheon Stream) in the downtown area of Seoul, ate lunch and went to a market, and then were guided to the nearby Jogyesa Temple. During the day I saw my first buddah worshipping, ate green tea flavored doughnuts, and took photos with a bunch of japanese people who bombarded our group. It was awesome. This all took place in Seoul during a 6 hour layover! What a superb way to fill the time.
