Friends!

This weekend, we went out with our military friends again. One of them is being shipped to Iraq, so he was celebrating his last week in Korea and they wanted us to tag along. The night was fun (and long)! We ended up at a German Ice Bar and were served beers in mugs made of ice. Nothing special, but then we were able to throw our ice mugs at a target to win prizes. Needless to say, we definitely didn't win. We were in a very lively area of town, and happened to meet some Koreans playing games in the street. There are games set up - sort of like games at a fair - to measure your strength...basically how hard can you punch a punching bag, kick a soccer ball, etc. So there we were...4 Americans and a Brit in the middle of the street testing our strengths with an onlooking crowd of cheering Koreans. It was hilarious.

The next day, we went to a tourist area called Eun Pa Park. It is an extremely popular spot in the city and has a big walking trail and restaurants. It has a bridge that crosses over the lake that lights up in the evening with bright techno-colored lights, and there is also a music fountain that plays every hour. In the spring, the park has a cherry blossom path that will blossom as well. We took a stroll around the lake and listened to the live music being played in the park. It was very nice.

Here is the bridge lit up at night from across the lake. So colorful :)
