Our friend Terry came from Taiwan to visit us and our mutual friend Yoori. She and her husband took us all around Seoul. We had a lot of fun together.
Arlene and David in front of the castle at Lotte World, an amusement park with rides both in and outside.
Arlene and David on a merry-go-round. This was David's first time.
Yoori and Terry dressed in Choson dynasty outfits. Terry (left) is dressed as a noblewoman and Yoori as a queen.
From left to right, Yoori, Moon (Yoori's husband) and Terry. Our rice was put in those bamboo containers.
A pancake with ice cream. It was enough for all of us (since David slept through us eating it!)
Arlene and David in front of the throne room of a palace. The little stone pillars on the sides show where the officials in audience should sit. The higher the rank the closer they are to the king.
Arlene and David on a bridge at a temple.
Arlene, Yoori and Terry in front of the gate of a Buddhist Temple. The buildings at this temple and the property had been a kind of special bar for powerful people to meet and make deals (often shady ones). The woman who owned it later donated it to become a temple. I'm not sure why but I'm guessing out of a conversion experience or a desire to work off some bad karma or both.
