Museum, Street Food, Bowling | On the Road Again!

Hola folks. Spent a big portion of the day visiting the Korea War Memorial Museum. It was really good with a bunch of restored planes/tanks/ships on the outside, then informative and interactive exhibits on the inside. Plus they had a cinema playing a free Movie (English Subtitles). The pollution was bad here today, some of the worst I’ve seen besides Beijing. But most of the pollution IS coming from China, ugh.

Statue of Brothers.
This is a memorial of two brothers who were fighting on the opposite sides, and happened to meet on the battlefield. (true story). Read more here

Afterwards, decided to head back to the Namdaemun Market (a street market dating back to 1414) and eat from the vendor stalls for dinner; then do some more shopping. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namdaemun_Market One of the nearby shopping centers had an awesome light show going on.

Assortment of things wrapped in dough and fried. My favorite was the spicy seafood one.

Some delicious omelet thing with meat, onions, cabbage, and sauce.

We’ll try a lot of things, but “Roast Lobster with Cheese”… ewwwwww
If it wasn’t $15, we may have given it a taste test just to do it.

And then it started raining.. ugh. What to do? Go bowling!! It was a blast, except it’s ONLY bowling. There are no nachos, hotdogs, or beer to enjoy. People just bowled and left, it’s not a “hang out” place like we have at home. Shawn beat me 2/3, and there were some interesting house balls available for use.
