Our second day in Seoul was MUCH more easy-going than the first. We woke up at KyungIl's home in Incheon and enjoyed a relaxing morning. His mom made us breakfast and we got ready to head into the city. We went to the post office first (pretty much the same as an American post office) and then hopped on the train.
Once in Seoul, we went straight to Itaewon to meet one of Shin's friends, Dr. Shin. Dr. Shin has known Shin since elementary school but it's been a few years since they've seen each other so they had a great time getting reacquainted. Itaewon was my favorite burb of Seoul because there were SO MANY foreigners. It was a very multicultural side of the city. On my first day in Seoul, I saw probably 100 foreigners in the entire city. On day 2 we visited one street in Itaewon and I saw literally hundreds of foreigners (a U.S. military base is a big reason many Americans are there).
We ate lunch, got coffee and just sat and enjoyed the pleasant company of friends. Then Shin and I headed to Mokdong, on the outskirts of Seoul, to meet up with another friend of his from high school. We went back to Incheon where C.S. Kim and his wife live and we ate dinner with them. They brought us back into the city to the bus station and we headed out of Seoul on the midnight bus to GyeongJu.
