Where have you been?!? Spring Break Day 1

One word- Facebook. It's tough to keep a blog and have that compete with facebook. It's like a brick oven compared to a microwave oven. Instant internet gratification versus real archiving and in-depth information. Ok, so I'm back. But only because Spring Break meant we were out and about, because who wants to read about us going to school and work every day.

Monday of Spring Break the kids had all their doctor's appointments and then we went to Building 63. It has 63 floors and is the tallest building in Korea. I'm sure there's nothing in N Korea that has 63 floors. We saw the aquarium, the I-MAX show (had to deprogram the kids from the junk sciences of ecology gone too far and evolution) and then we saw Seoul from the top floor of the building. It was a lot of fun for the kids and unfortunately the air was too hazy from the Hwang Sa (Yellow Sand) to see very far. It's nice to see the area from up there. I also went to Dae Jeon Motors in NW Seoul and got an oil change on the bike and got it deep cleaned for next to nothing. It's going to be hard to leave Korea and have to pay a lot of money to get the Harley fixed.

We found that the area 63 and the National Assembly are in is really hard to get to from our area of Ichon (just across the river) on the subway. We either had to ride it north for 30 minutes and then transfer to another line and go back south to Yeouido. We found it's faster to ride the bus to the bridge and either walk across it or hop another bus. We ended up walking across the bridge and catching the 0015 bus to the apartment. It was a mile or so across the Wonhyo Bridge and we wanted to wear down the kids and get a route to go back there to look at Cherry Blossoms on Tuesday. Day 1 was a success.
