All over Seoul and marathon shopping!

  Today was another beautiful day in Seoul, with perfect October weather.  Rik and toured the south of the city and the upscale neighborhood of Shinsa. It is a very high end area with top American,Japanese and Korean stores. At the end of the block is the premier OB/GYN center, where if you are anybody you deliver there.  I guess the local makes it easy to pick up a nice baby gift.  From there Rik and I traveled to Myeong - Dong to shop with loads of Japanese tourist.  Most the ads were in Japanese, luckily Rik could translate no problem. I am pretty impressed with Rik, he can read Korean pretty well and converse and read in Japanese.  Couldn't do this trip with out him,of course took this trip because of him!  Any way off to the DMZ tomorrow and to get a look at the north, should be exciting.
