Summer Vacation Trip to SEOUL!

> My school is on summer vacation this week so Beth, Will and myself decided to venture to Seoul for a few days to explore the sights and catch a baseball game. We arrived on Monday, and after checking into our hotel, we went on a failed mission to find a grocery store because we have a kitchenette. We did end up finding a convenience store to have a snack and drink outside of (it's very common here to see plastic furniture and tables outside a 7-11) followed by an impromptu trip to the local bowling alley and, finally, a visit to the local sticker photo booth to finish the night.

> The next day, we headed to the baseball stadium to watch the KIA Tigers play the Doosan Bears. The whole experience was much different than in North America: you can buy any food and drinks outside the stadium and bring them inside-- plus, you can go back outside the stadium at any time during the game and are allowed to return to the game inside afterward. Many of the vendors inside the stadium are convenience stores, not just big chain restaurants. The game itself was fun! The crowd was very lively and it was a good game despite our team (the Tigers) losing. After the game, we headed to Dongdaemun which is a cheap late night shopping district. Beth and I bought matching Lion King t-shirts before we headed home.

> Today I have plans to get my cell phone set up and do some shopping/exploring in Myeongdong, the fashion district in Seoul. We will head back to Geoje tomorrow to spend the rest of our vacation on the island.
