Salutations!
Welcome and thank you for visiting. Feel free to share your thoughts by leaving a note. Please be kind and respectful. I bruise easily.

Our comfy room at the W in Walkerhill, Seoul, forced us to sleep in. It was amazing to greet the day with a glorious view of the meandering Kangnam River, which splits the city of Seoul. We lunched at Kim Bahp Chang Guk (yes, call us Korean fast food junkies), then checked out the future site of the Dongdaemun history and cultural center and the Dongdaemun district itself. Both areas were getting facelifts (i.e., under construction), so we used our imagination to envision what might be behind all that tarp and scaffolding. We’ll find out if we were right, on our next visit.

Abe's actor nephew,
Kim Jisuk, took a break from filming to meet us. He brought us for an awesome Chinese massage, during which I became putty in the hands of my masseuse who contorted me into positions I never knew I could achieve. We were walking on air the rest of the evening, stopping by the train station to grab Mabel (who spent the weekend with us), then tucked in a
sam gye tang (ginseng chicken soup) feast at an apparently famous place frequented by the Korean President. Good stuff!
