The next few days Jeff and I were on our own. We had to get around with my Korean looks (thank you slitty eyes and wide-cheek bones) and Jeff's Hite/Chamisul-inspired Korean; it was quite entertaining watching him trying to converse with a taxi driver. Quick shout out to the cheese building:
This building (a cafe on the first floor) was a good place marker for where our AirBnB stay was. Cheese building in Seoul :: Blue gecko at the Electric Field at EDCLV :: A4 Speaker at Coachella. All saviors of my life.
On our days without Koreans we decided to check out touristy spots.

So we did some wandering |
At one point we were on the bus and I got off and looked back and Jeff was still on it. My whoops. Anyway, we're here now. One of the things that we both quite enjoy is checking out observation decks. I feel like, generally, people don't really like doing that stuff because they don't feel the need to pay for an extended elevator ride. I, however, dig that elevator ride, so those people can shaft themselves. The N Seoul Tower is a really cool though because at the top you can buy a lock, write a message, and link up! Similar to the love locks in Paris or the gum wall in Seattle.
Sidenote: found this at a convenience mart.

Why have boxed juice if there's boxed soju?! $.50, Yezzirrrrr |
If you're ever in Seoul, you have to check out the War Memorial Museum. It's a must must. Jeff and I spent a good couple of hours exploring the grounds... and it wasn't even open that day. But outside the museum there is already neat stuff to explore, so I can't imagine what it's like when it's open.
Powerful stuff.
We also checked out a traditional Korean village.
A Time Capsule. Which filled my My Sassy Girl desires.
Got Oyster Bimbimbap.
...at an indoor restaurant that was outdoors...?

Stupid place not worth mentioning unless you want to lose $20 each on 4 minutes of slots. |
One thing I really dug about Korea was how open everything is late night. We could be walking back after a full day of activity and still find sooo many foods in the dark hours. Korea doesn't close!!
