Seoul

This morning I hung around the hostel for a while to do my laundry, which desperately needed to be done. Then, I went on the very efficient subway system to one of the city's five palaces. I stopped for a lunch of noodle soup on the way. I enjoyed the palace, as it was quite different from the Forbidden City. It seemed more primitive, with the grounds being dirt rather than stones. Most of the palace had been rebuilt, as the Japanese almost completely destroyed it during their occupation. It started rainig while I was in the palace, so I decided to return to the guesthouse. There I had a quick nap before heading out to dinner, where I had some diffculty ordering. No Korean restaurant has an English menu, apparently.
