We're back after five days in Seoul. We had a surprisingly easy time getting around by ourselves. The hardest part of the trip was getting to the bus station here in Wonju. Apparently there are two bus stations, and when our taxi driver finally understood we wanted to catch a bus i just agreed when he said a name. It was the wrong name. After that the trip was smooth. The bus to Seoul was fast and cheap and the subway was safe, clean, and easy to navigate. We stayed in Itaewon for five days, where the foreigners seemed to outnumber the Koreans. I don't think anyone gave us a second glance which was weird for us. We spent our days traveling by subway to the tourist spots and relaxed most nights in our hotel room. This pic is one of my favourites from our visit to the War Memorial Museum. We spent about three hours there and would have spent more if we weren't so tired and sore from walking so much. We took tonnes of pictures inside and out. We sped though about half the museum and all the large equipment outside. It was definitely worth the 3000 won per person. I'll post more pics over the next few days and talk about our trip. I have to keep this short because we've got to go back to work early tomorrow. I have to at least make an attempt at sleep.

In completely unrelated news my hockey team, the Edmonton Oilers, just made one of the biggest trades in their history. I am completely floored that they acquired Chris Pronger from the St. Louis Blues for Eric Brewer and two prospects. Pronger is a franchise player but i'm not sure he's worth the money they'll be paying him. This is the new NHL.
