Roaming the streets in your PJs is common in Shanghai. We were surprised to see this guy in Seoul.  Yes, guy in the purple heart pajamas.

The Foot Shop

Dear Friends,

Brad was happy to drop me off for a foot massage.  It was great but more expensive than those at home.

Grass Hopper

Dear Friends,

Never did understand why someone would want writing across their bottom.  REALLY don't understand why you would want it to say this.

Ginseng

Dear Friends,

Ginseng anyone?  Lots of options for buying this at the Namdaemun market in Seoul.  Apparently, it has many health benefits.  Maybe we should have bought some!

We hadn't seen this parking ferris wheel before.  The cars go in and are rotated around. Great use of  space!

Subway Safety

The Koreans appear to be very safety conscious. Every subway stop had one or two of these cupboards full of gas masks and other safety equipment.

Seoul, Korea

Dear Friends,

This October break we headed to Seoul, Korea. What an amazing city - so much to see and do.  One our first stops was Namsan Hanok Village based on a recommendation from one of our Korean parents. This was one of many cultural experiences that could be found around every corner.

Dancing in the Park

Dear Friends,

Every park in town is an open dance floor. Day or night, people bring out the music and get to dancing. Quite often there are three or four different dances going on at the same time.

Pottery Cart

Dear Friends,

No need to go to Pottery Barn or Crate and Barrel. You can get you dishes and glassware on the street in Shanghai.

Love,
