Parents in Korea - Day 2
2014.05.11 @ 탑골공원, 광화문 & 청계천

On day two of my parents' trip, we followed a pretty common path that I take new teachers on as a general tour of central Seoul. We started by walking through 탑골공원 [Tapgol Park], then strolled down trough 인사동 [Insadong] were we sat and at some 찜닭 [jjimdak]. After 인사동, we walked out to 경복궁 [Gyeongbok-gung], Seoul's main palace. Then, we sat next to the statues for bit before taking a short stroll down 청계천 [Cheonggye-cheon]. Lastly, we went out to 명동 [Myeong-dong] to see Nanta, the cooking show, for Mother's Day.
