Afterwards, we made our way over to a park that sits right on the Han River. The Han River is a beautiful river that passes through Seoul and connects to the Yellow Sea. I cross this river every time I go into Seoul and it's breathtaking every time.
I made a bucket list of "must sees" in Korea and walking across one of the bridges that cross the Han River has been on my list. I was so soo excited to walk across and catch a much better view of Seoul.

63 building (one of the tallest buildings in Seoul) |
We then walked below the bridge and found another amazing view...

so amazing! |
Later that evening, we traveled over to HaeBangChon (HBC) to try out Craftworks. I heard great reviews about this place and was so excited to try some local brews.
Let me just move on over to updating you all about today. The BEST day everrr! I went into Hongdae today to check out a B-boy show that Nadine so graciously invited me to. B-Boying is a type of street dance that usually consists of music genres from house music to hip-hop. It was such an amazing show! And ladies...the men...mmmhmm ;)
the girls <3 |
During the show the dancers had invited a few people up the stage for small skits. At the end of the show the dancers started free-styling to "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO. I hear this song literally everywhere I go in Korea. It's like Korea's second Anthem. Well to my surprise, I was suddenly pulled onto stage to shuffle with the dancers. Seriously, BEST MOMENT EVERRR!
Ahh so so much fun! I'm still all giddy inside over what just happened. Thanks again Nadine Teacha!! This next week I will be spending my time preparing for Tania and Lauren's visit. I can't wait!! Next weekend I'll be visiting the DMZ and even be in part of North Korea. I'll be sure to tell you all about it!
Miss you all so freakin' much! <3
