It was very rainy when we woke this morning but we wanted to see the Seoul Tower now known as Namsan Tower. We decided to take the subway and we knew where we were going thanks to our terrific tourist booth lady who has been so great. So we were walking along looking at our subway map when an older lady thought we looked completely lost so she enrolled the help of like 8 people to help us figure out what way to go. What a hoot, try 8 korean people and 2 americans and we looked like a bunch of clowns. We were trying to get her attention to tell her that we knew how to get there but she wanted to help so badly so we ended up following some young girls that she roped into helping. Made our day. So we made it to where we had to get off and catch the bus thanks to our young girls. We caught our bus with no problems and made it safetly to Namsan tower. Very much recommended, the views are spectacular! It had cleared up by then and we could even see the area that we stayed in and to say Seoul is huge is an understatement. It is like 100 plus times the size of Grand Rapids!!! We walked around the top of the tower several times and there were so many guys from India there who had to take their pictures with us, kinda funny until they started asking to hold my hand, which of course I refused! After we seen all we could from the top we decided to walk around a bit on the grounds than catch a bus back. When we got to the subway station we noticed a sign for Bukchon Hanok Village so we decided to check that out. Again very recommended. It was very traditional and had funiture and pictures set up in the houses so that you could actually see how people lived back then. They also had a stage where they had traditional dancers and performers. The girl drummers were the best and so beautiful and they sounded terrific. We walked around exploring for a bit than decided to check out city hall which is close to where we are staying. We don't know how we missed it but we did, I think we took wrong turn somewhere but we ended up walking down a really pretty street instead so we figured that we didn't miss much. It is our last night in this area and I am curious to see the new area that we will be in so until tomorrow, Jess
