Our Saturday in Seoul

First weekends Anders was working both with his job and hanging up decorations in our “little house on the base”. However, yesterday we had a full day in Seoul and now that I learned more about where to go we managed quite something.
After breakfast we borrowed our neighbors’ car (which we by the way are permitted to use in weekends, so we baptized the car “Helg-Base-Car”) to shop some groceries. Had a coffee and took the subway to Namdaemun Market, an enormous trade place, where we strolled around among flowers, accessories, porcelain, candles, ribbons, clothes, hats, decorations and so forth. Had a Bibimbap (a local vegetarian dish) in a local restaurant. Walked some more and took the metro to Ichon, a fashionable living area and walked for 1,5 hour back to the base passing the Korean National museum, which will be on our program on a bad weather day. Back home we took a drink in the garden, said hi to our neighbors who returned from a fortnight in the States, prepared lunch for today and then went back into town to have dinner in “our Restaurant”. Upon return some coffee and a movie.
Wasn’t that a full day?
