Fall Fun

We started Saturday on the bus to Seoul, thinking that the Canon Service Center was open until 12 on Saturdays (they were last weekend when we called). We arrived only to be greeted by a sign stating that they were closed every 2nd and 4th Sat. We figured since we were in the big city, we might as well take advantage of it. We checked out a palace we hadn't seen before, and soaked in the fall sunshine! We also headed down to Itaewon, the foreigner's section of town. We ran into our friend fom Incheon who was also checking out Itaewon! What a coincidence.
In the afternoon, we decided to take the train back so enjoy the beautiful fall colors, and ran into our EPIK boss. He was heading into Seoul for the Halloween party, and we were headed back to our city. That night we went to the foreigner bar, "WA Bar" for the Halloween party. It was a lot of fun, B was a Viking and H was Minnie Mouse. We got to chat with a lot of our new friends.
Today we met our friends Dayle and Hee-Kyung for lunch. After our meal, we all caught the bus and headed to Yonsei University, just outside of Wonju. The leaves were so bright and great to take in. Lots of towns-people head to the campus during fall to enjoy the walking trails, and we did the same. It was a lovely day and for the rest of the evening we'll relax and get ready for another busy week of classes!
