Spring Break in Seoul – Day 2

by

We knew this day was supposed to be rainy, so we planed for indoor activities. It should be noted that the breakfast buffet at the hotel is insane and there is no way to sample all that is available in one sitting. That didn’t stop us from trying.

We started the day at the National Museum of Korea. We lost steam around the Silla Dynasty, but was still impressive to see the ingenuity of our ancestors and ancient civilizations in general. What they accomplished with the technology and means at the time puts things in perspective.

Afterwards we navigated the subway to the Shinsegae Department Store in Gangnam, which is adjacent to where we stayed last time. Lucas is on a mission to sample as much Korean BBQ as possible and this is where we started. We made one last stop at the COEX mall as suggested by my cousin. We were able to check the Starfield Library off our list of Instagram must-visit spots.
