Final days in Seoul

I wanted to stay in Seoul for a bit longer, and I had some pretty good excuses to do so. So, five more days before returning Stateside!

At The Frypan in Gangnam.

Thanks Jisue & Joong-hyun!

Michael Herring and his wife Sora were also in Korea for a few days so the newlyweds could visit family. Michael and I hit up 7 Luck, a foreigners-only casino. I lost quite a bit playing roulette, but I guess that’s why they give out free drinks. I was up for awhile, which makes me want to go again, but maybe with a more definite plan in mind.

Getting ddak galbi (chicken & stuff) in Gangnam with Sora & Michael.

Joong-hyun and Jisue were kind enough to let me stay with them again. Between them and the Herrings I had an unusual amount of fried chicken my last days. Interesting.

More fried chicken after the casino.

Some tasty street snacks outside Yongsan.

Biggest banana milk ever. I wish it were real.

I was able to see Minsuk one last time now that he's working as a banker. I don't envy that part of Korean culture, but I think in the long run he'll benefit from the ridiculous things he has to do now.

For Chuseok, the Korean version of Thanksgiving, I stayed with Jincheon again and played with Skye. We drove to his wife’s father’s solar farm, then came back and watched Resident Evil 4 in 3D. All in all a good way to end my trip in Asia.

A storm had damaged a corner of the solar panel farm.

Photovoltaic cells!

Skye in a funny hat.
