South Korea

Next day we headed out to the War Museum near Itaewon. It's free in but we only have about an hour so we never even got inside. Instead we wandered around the outside looking at all the planes and helicopters used in the various wars Korea participated in. We also saw a few giant sets of speakers used to send propaganda into the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. Soon after we headed out to Kelly-Anne. After a bit of messing involving trying to ask a Korean girl where the nearest pay phone was and having her speak English and let us use her phone, we found Kelly-Anne. That night we hung out with Helena (her friend from home), Rachel (an American also teaching English in Korea) and Tae-he (her Korean co-teacher). Got to catch up on all the gossip and news. It was great seeing Kelly-Anne half way around the world and fantastic to be staying with her. Got to bed pretty late and pretty much slept til afternoon the next day. This is the first place we could relax. Over the next few days we finally got a chance to relax. We saw a bit of Daejon and hung out in the parks. In the evening we got to see Kelly-Anne and catch up. We tried some dumplings in various forms (both myself and Brian have Oku-mandu as our favourite). That got us all the way through to Friday night.
