Gwanghwamun

Today we rode the rails to Gwanghwamun. We have no idea how to acutally pronounce that. There was a bookstore there that we had heard had English books, so we thought we would check it out. The building below had a huge bookstore in it's basement that was pretty cool.

As the day progressed, we found our way to a stream that runs through the middle of the city, that was once a highway. It's neat how there is a lot of green space here despite the large number of buildings and population density. It was hella packed, but we're getting used to that here.


This area had a lot of cool shops, this building just shows how well the Koreans use their space in that every floor is a different business.

This is the Vietnamese restaurant that we tried out for lunch. It had pictures in the menu which made it easier for us to actually know what we were getting for lunch.
