Day with our cousins

Hey, my brother and I spend some quality time with our cousins. Weird thing is they lived in Montreal for several years and we never spend this much time there...

Anyways, here are the goods:

We started the day with a hot bowl of 설렁탕 (seolleongtang).


^{No dogs in this soup, only awesomeness}

Then we went to 청계천 (Cheonggyecheon) which used to be a stream that ran through Seoul, then was an elevated highway, and is now a stream again.


^{Louis is actually dancing}



At the top where the stream starts they had this strange display of famous buildings covered in clementines.


^{"Give me your sweet, your tangy, your orange masses yearning to taste so good"}

Then we walked over to the Seoul Museum of History, passing by the Admrial Yi watching over the people.


^{If you jaywalk, he will cut you}

At the museum, they had this "science" exhibit. I say "science" cause it was mostly about space and astronomy. And it was really, really nerdy (with formulas and all), like way over our heads, and not interactive enough for my liking. But they had this sweet contraption that Louis immediately recognized as a hydrogen laser (I think). What a nerd!



Then we went to the actual history part of the museum which totally rocked. Except we weren't allowed to take pictures. But screw that we took pictures anyways. Korea's all about breaking rules, and if you get caught, they just politely tell you not to do the thing you're not allowed to do.




^{Royal Seal?!?!...more like Royal Turtle}

After the museum, we headed to Myeong-Dong. There was a Lotte department store decorated in the traditional Christmas colors. Check it out.







Lastly, we ate Shabushabu. Rolls right off the tongue doesn't it? Shabushabu.
