The Seoul Train

Stature of the Great King Sejong.

Yeouido Park, the central park of Seoul. I’ve been in many big cities before, but the feng shui of Seoul makes city life actually quite nice.  It’s its the cleanest city I’ve ever seen and also the most orderly.  I’m not fond of being bumped into all the time and was surprised at watching a man clock Cameron in the head as he cut him off and didn’t even “notice”.  But for the 2nd largest metropolitan city in the world, it’s a pretty darn nice place to live.

The charry blossoms are absolutely gorgeous!

Ok kids, come on.  Well, this poise led me to me taking away the playground down the walkway.  Cameron cried and cried because I said no playground after he would not cooperate for a picture.  The problem with that is that every time he cries, people come out of the woodwork to give him candy, shower him with affection and attention.  So the lesson he’s learning is cry and I get candy from strangers.  Not quite the discipline I’m aiming for.

the kids were mesmerized by how small the people and cars looked.

The mighty Han river.  So magnificent.  We cross it every day going to work.
