Exploring One's Seoul

From February 20th to the 24th I went to Seoul to have a bit of fun and to enjoy the Korean culture a bit more with a fellow Canadian friend. On the first day there I went to a Cookin' Nanta theatrical performance with cooking, comedy, and music. I wasn't able to take pictures during the actual performance but I was able to take few pictures before it began.
The next day, we went to Itaewon area to explore and to shop. We also went to the Korean War Memorial. After all of that we saw a magic show titled The Illusion by Lee Eun Gyeol, a famous magician who won many awards. The show itself was spectacular and something I have never witnessed before.
On Wednesday, we went to the 63 City building and the Seaworld which was located inside the building. After that we went to the World Cup Stadium where the 2002 World Cup Soccer tournament was held, which was co-hosted by Japan and Korea. Afterwards we walked to the nearby Digital City Gallery to check it out, and finally we went on a Han River boat cruise for an hour or so. The entire day we were walking a lot and we exhausted by the end.

The next day we caught the 9am KTX back to Busan. Overall, the four days went by so quick because of the amount of fun we were having. The next trip I have planned is to go to Japan! Hopefully I get to see Fukukoa, Osaka and Kyoto! Let's wait and see how it goes. I am excited and nervous (it's kind of expensive there) but either way, it's going to be an experience of a lifetime!
