Seoul City

Yesterday I took the bullet train again, this time to Osaka. It was a beautiful journey straight through the mountains of Japan. We got near Fuji again, but this time the train went all around it so we saw the great volcano from all sides. Osaka itself is another marvelous city. A lot of buildings downtown had a crazy and weird architecture.

Then I quickly flew over the Sea of Japan (?) and in just two hours I was in Seoul. It was late in the evening and headed straight for a local restaurant. Authentic Korean BBQ yummyness made fresh before my eyes.

Today I got a chance to visit the city. Completely different atmosphere than Japan (even though they are so close to each other). I saw two imperial palaces, got access to one of its gardens (that is normally closed to tourists) and visited a nice folk museum where I learned a lot about Korea's history. Now I'm very tired from all the walking so I'm going to find another place to eat and crash back in my room. In this city every other store is a restaurant. My block alone has about 20 of em. There was also another little incident, but no need to go into those details right now.
