Korean TV

We got cable T.V. - YEAH!!! Plus it's only $6 a month....ASA! (This means awesome in Korean)

Sorry, the camera put a weird black bar on the screen - something to do with recording the TV signal... anyway, these are still super cool and worth watching enjoy!




They have all kinds of crazy food shows :0



Korean Drama - Love the hats!!




Dance contests rock!!



Luke LOVES the cartoons, they're everywhere here :)



Yes, we actually have video game TV stations. You can watch people playing games 24 hours a day.......so funny!!

Olympics :)

We have been following the games...somehow it's more fun with Korean commentaries in pink :)

Something's Fishy!!! :)

We got fish!!

Modern Art Museum

We decided to visit the Seoul Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). It was a really interesting experience, largely because the place is located inside an amusement park! Seoul Grand Park is home to the MOCA, the city zoo as well as the amusement park, Seoul Land. So, in true amusement park fashion, we got to take a tram (with an elephant head on the front) into the park. It actually really built the anticipation! Don't worry - we took a video!

Once we got there, the museum grounds were beautiful. The area is surrounded by lush green hills and they have a river running alongside the building. Also, the outside is decorated by a diverse sculpture park!

It just so happened that we showed up on a day that they had free admission so we strolled right in, but not before being met by a gracious and eager volunteer who rushed over to welcome us and thank us for visiting their museum. It seems they really like having foreigners visit. She spoke English very well and gave us a neat, complimentary book about the history of the museum.

Inside there wasn't many areas where you were allowed to shoot pictures, but we were able to sneak one of their center piece exhibit - a tower of TVs that reached 30ft into the ceiling! The statement was something along the lines of the over saturation of media today... I think :)

It was a wonderful museum. We really enjoyed ourselves and definitely plan to go back and spend more time there. We stayed the whole afternoon and only saw the first floor!

Playing Badminton in the Park :0

To escape the summer heat, we had a picnic under a tree in central park and played a little badminton. Do you think we are ready for the Olympic team in 2012...he he :)

Daechon Beach!!

To celebrate Korea's Independence day we got out of town for 3 days and did nothing but hang out on a beautiful beach, eat great seafood and just relax! It took 3 hours by bus to get to Deachon Beach in the city of Boryeong, but it was totally worth it! We had a great time :)
