'it ain't where you from yo it's where you at'

First time on the subway. That thing was sparkling clean; big difference from US public transit.

Daniesha and I were entertained by the men holding their girlfriend's purses. Chivalry is still alive in Korea haha ;)

Daniesha' friend showed us a 'shilgaechun' in Seoul, basically a glorified brook or stream in the middle of the city. I tried to take a video but it was too dark.

There were colorful-changing lights in the shape of geometric flowers on one part of the wall lining the stream. I really enjoyed them. 

More art on the wall: a long strip of tiles illustrating the royal entourage of one of Korea's famous kings.

The 'shilgaechun' also had stepping stones people used to cross. It's less than a feet deep.

Night life around the Jong-gak area in Seoul.

Lots of street vendors in Jong-gak selling all kinds of cute things and *knockoffs. (*thanks Brandon lol!)
