Korea - @ Han River ..and.. "hug bunny"
A more relaxing day. We initially set out to visit NAMSAN Tower, but I think,
this Sunday, most of Seoul also wanted to do some sightseeing there. (it's on the right -> )
Maybe .. during a weekday .. soon. We headed back home and Salli prepared some sandwiches and
goodies, and Jon picked up the day tent. We decided to have a picnic down at the Han River in
Banpo Hangang Park. Here we are after setting up the tent :
Great views of Seoul's downtown area.
After enjoying our sandwiches and goodies, we hiked over to three "floating islands".
One is used on weekends at the top level for weddings. A wedding was just finishing,
so we went up and looked at the venue, Jon & Salli posing as bride and groom.
It was a relaxing mid-morning -to- mid-afternoon on the river. Headed back to
the apartment to get ready to drive south for about an hour to meet Salli's parents
and sister at a family-friendly restaurant called .. Baek Woon Jae, in Ulwang.
Here are a couple of pictures of that drive including some shots from Jon's car's
navigation system :

It was fun listening to his "Navi" system. Many times .. I heard "HUG BUNNY", but I later
found out that, in Korean it was saying " ahead .. ", 'jeonbang-e'. We all were laughing
pretty hard about this. Here we are at the restaurant : (Salli took the picture)
Look at all of that food! japchae (noodles and veg.), samgyup bbq, jaeyook bokeum,
minari, hobkjjin, rnuk, myeolchi, deodeok, etc. All very yummy.
Here's a picture after we've attempted to finish it all :
Afterwards we took our complimentary coffees out to their adjoining botanical garden:
A very enjoyable evening with Jon and Salli (Seungmin) ..and..
Mom (Soyoung), Dad (Joonhyung), sister (Seungkyung).
What a fun day! Thabk you for the updates! We spent our Saturday at the fair with the Firss family.
