Walking, Exploring, Walking Seoul

 I designated today as Seoul exploration day for Kevin. We packed our schedule going to 경복궁 (Royal Palace), 삼계탕 (Chicken stew), 북촌한옥마을 (Bukchon traditional village), 인사동 (Insadong Market), 청계천 (Seoul's city stream), 광장시장 (Gwangjang Market) , N서울타워 (Namsan Tower), 남대문시장 (Namdaemun Market), and 서울시청 (Seoul city hall).     *English included for English sake

동호 met us for 삼계탕 since we were near his work. Recovery meal indeed as only it was only yesterday Kevin and I traversed most of Bukhansan peaks.

We walked and visited 인사동 (Insadong Market), 청계천 (Seoul's city stream), 광장시장 (Gwangjang Market). The traveling by foot allowed for people-watching, culture- immersing, and map-confusion.

Though closed, 남대문 shined beautifully from behind the gates and with the backdrop of the light polluted Seoul skies.
