#SohsInSeoul

Greetings from Korea!!! :) I've had an amazing past week in Seoul exploring the beautiful city with my mom, family and friends. Every day has been so eventful and I've eaten at least 4-5 meals per day not including all the Korean street food, snacks, and desserts I've munched in between those meals. Heh. It's almost 11pm and my eyes are so tired and heavy but I wanted to briefly update so I don't forget about my experiences here. Today we took the bullet train to Busan where we'll be for the next few days. The train was amazingly fast (80-90 miles) and we got there in 2.5 hours. I remember coming 10 years ago and it being a 5 hour drive. My generous auntie was kind enough to hook it up at the Park Hyatt at Haeundae Beach for us... (wow) so here I am on the 24th floor, writing this post while staring out the huge glass window overlooking the beautiful city of Busan and its famous beach.

View from our pad! Picture taken earlier in the day.
It feels surreal to be here, but I can't express how grateful I am to have been given the time off from work and various responsibilities to enjoy this last trip with my mother! A much needed vacay to recuperate my mind, body and soul.
Picture taken at Cheonggycheon river. Seoul is decorated with colorful lanterns throughout the city for Buddhist festivities. The river was decked out with various animal statues, etc. We liked these water bottle vases with flowers in them :) 
Few pictures on what we've been eating thanks to family and friends who have been taking us out!
My camera couldn't even capture the entirety of the food we ate! Thank you Pastor Justin & family. :)
Food at Insadong! Loved this street and love how every city has its own culture. Thank you Kyle! :)
FEAST. jk. I wish :( This is what the King eats...& was taken at the museum in Gyeongbokgung Palace. Everything is made of glass but it looks...so...REAL!
This is one of my personal favorites. 'Beendehddok' at Dongdemun market. 
Being in Korea, being a bride-to-be and having major food FOMO is not a good combination. Oh well :) More to love~ I'll save the desserts for a different post!

Goodnight from Busan! Zzz
