Seoul Searchin :)

Hello! It was nice to get out of the city for a few days and experience the fresh air and seafood in Busan. It was relaxing compared to the busy hustle of Seoul, but I personally like being in Seoul a bit better. :) My mom and I are currently at the Westin Chosun Hotel in the heart of Seoul. We can see Myeongdong from here! In the evenings, we've been walking to Cheonggyecheon River down the street which is decorated with lanterns and statues for Buddhist's birthday month.

Cheonggyechon <3 So beautiful at night!

Yesterday while we were checking in, all the staff members were by the doorway setting up red carpets and then lining up in order as if they were about to greet someone famous. And it was definitely someone famous... A minute later, we see the secretary general, Ban Ki-Moon of the United Nations!!! There were cameramen and news reporters surrounding him and my mom and I were a few feet away like... O_O. We are on the 16th floor and we think he's on the 17th floor because we keep seeing security officers on both the 16th and 18th floors.

Here's a picture to prove it...

One of the security officers we kept seeing on our floor. Don't mean to be creepy... but that's cool o_O

Busan pictures:

Selfie by the famous Haeundae beach that we only see in movies <3

Jagalchi fish market- the largest fish market in Korea. We selected the fish/mussels, etc. we wanted to eat and then went upstairs to have it prepared and ready to be eaten. We met American guys from SD! It was funny because they approached me all timidly and talked to me slowly as if I didn't understand & when I started talking them in English they got all happy and excited. Hahaha

Taken on my new selfie stick. Me and my grandma <3 thankful to be able to go on this trip with her :) 

The rest of our time here, we'll be exploring Garosugil, Hongdae and more of Itaewon. Loved hanging out in Itaewon earlier in the week with my cousin Christina and Kyle and...with all the international locals. ;) Now to do some souvenir shopping aka sock shopping!
