Headed home

More pictures when I get back.

Hiking up to Namsan Tower

This is Seoul's version of the Empire State Building, Namsan Tower. It's a pretty good hike, but there is lots of pretty scenery and you can somewhat escape the buzz of the city.

For Mom

When my parents visited me in 2005 this sweet treat was something that my Mom liked. It tastes something like a warm Twinkie and is cooked in the molds seen behind the first picture. Hopefully next time I come they will come as well.

Samwon Gardens

This is a fancy restaurant that Bill Clinton and Paris Hilton have eaten at. The scenery is really peaceful compared to how busy Seoul is. I'm glad that Sylvia's parents picked up the check.

BBQ Chicken

Koreans really know their barbecued/fried chicken. I've eaten once at KFC in the last decade, but barbecue chicken twice this trip (NOT from KFC).

BBQ is a large chain and is my personal favorite. As you can tell by the picture, it is pretty spicy. The radishes that come along with the meal help cut through the heat a little bit.

Delivery is free and is brought to your place via a scooter like the one shown.

Samgyeopsal

Another of my favorite Korean dishes is Samgyeopsal. It is pork and looks a lot like a piece of bacon. Though I like bacon, this tastes a lot better in my opinion.

sweet, sweet pigs feet

This restaurant is famous for its jokbal, or pigs feet. I won't lie, I love the stuff. I even brought both mine and Sylvia's parents here five years ago.

Joining me for dinner were my two best friends in Korea, Jin Pyo and Chan Min.
