Seoul, June 2

Seoul is where we landed at Incheon International Airport and that’s where we stayed overnight before leaving in the morning to take our flight back to the United States. We met up with Dr. Hong, Professor at Savannah State University, who is from Seoul. He was kind enough to take us around the city to show us some of the places of interest in Seoul, the capital city.

Talk about New York City magnified. People were everywhere in Seoul. If you think New York City is crowded; visit Seoul. It was beautiful though. We had dinner at a place Dr. Hong suggested, where Duck was the main dish. I couldn’t stomach that dish, so I ate some of the side dishes instead. During our walk around the city, we ended up at this local burger place. There we had burgers with fries and I felt so much better.

We toured around the crowded department stores, and then ended the day at Cheonggyecheon. Cheonggye Stream is a 5.8 km creek flowing through downtown Seoul. This is where it is said lovers come to on the weekends to hang out and enjoy the serenity of the flowing water, while admiring the view. We were driven back to our hotel, where we spent our last and final evening.
