Trip to Korea March 2005

Day 2

We are all woken up at 4:00am; we are expected to attend in the temple from 4:30 -5:30 am. We are surprisingly alert, the cold of the morning, the early mist and the race up the temple steps, so as not to be late, may have something to do with it. As dawn breaks around 6:30, we eat our breakfast of soup, kimchee (spicy cabbage, served at every meal) & rice.

We spend the day in Seoul, visiting Changgyeong Palace, with its complex of buildings dating back to the 12th century,
followed by exploring Namdaemun Sijang, (Great South Gate Market) where you can buy almost anything,
and then on to Itaewon, the international area of Seoul. We begin to get use to motorbikes travelling along pavements, and surviving on very little sleep.
