Wednesday Funday

Adding an extra day to a weekend feels pretty good.  Mondays and Fridays off practically beg for a long weekend getaway.  We haven't had many of these, as Korea's national holidays seem to fall just as often on Wednesdays this year.  On such an occasion we recently decided to take a day trip and be tourists in our own city.

Although it's part of Busan, Taejongdae is actually an island, connected to the mainland by bridge.  We had a perfect day strolling through the park, cruising on the ocean, walking along a pebble beach, and eating fresh grilled clams we selected ourselves.


 

Oh and we found these adorable furry friends (rare as most people live in apartments here and have teeny dogs) on our way back to the bridge.

 

An outstanding Wednesday in my book. :)

Weekend in Seoul: Good Eats & River Cruise

 Summer Saturday evening in Seoul.
{Beers al fresco after a delicious Moroccan dinner}

Sandwiches.  I repeat, sandwiches!  Excuse my excitement, but aside from Quizno's they are hard to come by here, okay?  Notice the magical ingredient: fried mashed potato patties.  Yes, they were as good as they sound, if not better.  And dill pickles?!  We've been fooled my many a sweet pickle at restaurants here.  
No bueno.  
(Okay so they're growing on me... but Ryan is definitely not sold).
The spiced carrot salad and lentil soup were also amazing.  Please go here if you are ever in Seoul.
  
 

After we were sufficiently stuffed from dinner (some people had two sandwiches....) we headed for a cruise on the Han River.
  
Seoul's numerous bridges were all aglow.  It was a treat to see the city from a new perspective. 

 The water show was gorgeous.  I'm just glad we were warned to move out of its way with three seconds to spare before the shower hit the open air deck in the exact spot where we were sitting.

Awww, summer night on the boat.  
Take me back!
