Seoul Photos

Seoul was lovely, though we both thought it looked very much like any major city in the US, specifically San Francisco. By the time our trip was over, we were calling it San Francisco. We were quite lucky with the weather, which was gorgeous. A funny story though, we had trouble finding trash cans while we were walking around. We finally realized that it was because the US President was visiting. And when we got back to Beijing, our road was closed…because the US President was visiting. He’s a stalker!!!!!!!! Obama’s stalking us!!!!!

This was all over a week ago by the way, the entire Korea trip; we’ve been sick.
