Feeling tired after a busy day sightseeing in Seoul. We are staying in Seoul (the capital and largest of South Korea) until tomorrow afternoon. We ate breakfast at the hotel, walked around Itaewon (a shopping area), ate at a very good restaurant for lunch near the Gyeongbokgung Palace, visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyeongbokgung), visited the National Folk Museum of Korea, tried a fish-shaped pastries (붕어빵/bungeoppang) filled with sweet red bean paste and custard cream from a street vendor, tried a the popular street food "egg bread" (계란빵/Gyeran Bbang)...seen it spelled other ways though) and walked around and ate in the Gangnam District (yes, partly because of the song, haha).

"Egg bread" It was sweet and had an egg in the middle.
Fish-shaped pastries...tried both kinds!
A street in the Gangnam District. There were tons of streets like this one. So many people, restaurants, and stores. Similar to Times Square in NYC...but with more streets. The street vendor with the yellow sign is where we bought the fish-shaped pastries.
Dinner in Gangnam District. Sashimi...not sure what we all ate. Definitely some things you don't see in the US. Very good.
