South Korea: Kimchi, the DMZ and Colgate Day!



I went to visit Allyssa in Seoul, South Korea for a long weekend. Here are some pictures from the top highlights of the trip, which included:

1. Seeing my best friend and celebrating Colgate Day by visiting a large, rainbow-colored poop statue!
2. Visiting the Korean War Museum and the DMZ. (I stood in North Korea! Or, rather, on the North Korean side of the Military Armistice Commission building.)
3. Attending an FC Seoul soccer game at World Cup Stadium. Boy, how I miss professional sports!
4. Meeting a lot of very friendly Korean people, including a man who helped me get a taxi and gave me cab fare after the subway closed down on me.
5. Soju and orange juice.

Other than that, the weather was very cold, necessitating that I wear two coats and a sweater all weekend! Apparently my time in Taiwan has softened me to the cold, winter weather...
