After some absolutely delicious Korean barbecue, we visited Myeongdong market. Even at 11pm, there was still a hustle-bustle in the heart of Seoul.

  1. Is that a real guard cause he is so tall. Interesting traditional clothing they wear. Love the architect of the Palace. It’s autumn there like here. Is that Picachu? Don’t believe it a Catholic Church or am I seeing things. Enjoy love ya both God bless
