Skating in Seoul

    We're still going into Seoul for university classes; our last day of class will be this Saturday the 7th though! Last Saturday after class we went to City Hall, where they've erected two ice-skating rinks for the public. We met up with H's high school friend Sara and her husband Jon, who now teach in the south-west part of Korea. 

   First we bought our tickets (3 hour wait) then we walked along the Cheon-gay Stream, which was decorated with lovely lights. After walking around a touristy area to find postcards for a friend, we found a dduk-galbi restaurant and enjoyed our favorite meal. After dinner we ducked into Cold Stone Creamery for a nice ice cream treat. On our way back to City Hall, the lights were lit up along the stream, making for a gorgeous view. 

   Sara and I got our skates (total cost $1) and finally hit the ice at 8:30pm. We didn't realize they would allow so many people on the ice, so after about 20 minutes we had had our fill and left the rink. B and I had to head to the terminal to catch our bus, but what a great time we had!!
