Subway System & The Korean War Memorial

Good morning everyone. It's 9:30pm here and 8:30 am at home.

We traveled by the Seoul subway system today. It was very easy once we got our bearings straight. All of the little kids were smiling at Rachael as well as quite a few adults (The men that is). The entire city reminds us of Manhattan, without the skyscrapers.

We started the morning by finding Holt International Adoption Services. This is where we'll be meeting James in about 13 hours. It's a good 25 minutes on the subway. We're both very happy we found it. It's gonna make tomorrow morning a lot easier.

After that we went to the Korean War memorial. It was huge. It had every kind of plane, helicopter, boat, tank, and artillery used in the war. It was nice to visit knowing that dad served during that time. 21 different countries helped South Korea defend themselves against the North.

The Itaewon shopping area was full of street vendors, shops, and restaurants. We ate at the Hard Rock and got back to the hotel around 4:00pm. There is another shopping area around the hotel with narrow street and it seemed about a million bars and restaurants.

Well that's it for now. I haven't been able to download my pictures from my camera or email the video but I'll keep trying.
