We're In Seoul

Well it's Tuesday here in Seoul. I've had a cold since we got here and I finally feel better today. We've had a good time here but it is a city with over 10 million people and it feels like it. We could barely walk down one of the main streets last night because of the sheer volume of people. Regardless, this city is pretty interesting because there are temples and parks in the midst of high rises and hordes of people. We've got some great traditional presents for our families.
We're heading out to some palaces and parks today and then back to Canada tomorrow.

how exciting to be homeward bound!

10M people in a city sounds like a total nightmare to me. Can't stand being herded around like an animal in a crowd. Are the parks relativaly mellow at least I wonder?

Yes, Koreans love to just mellow out in parks so mostly they are sitting around chatting and smoking. So the parks are a nice escape.
