River Walk

The weather is finally warming up here, so we planned to be outside all weekend. Yesterday, we sat by the Han River and watched Koreans picnic. Their picnic spreads are usually quite impressive - a bunch of tupperware containers full of Korean side-dishes, BBQ, beer and Makgeolli. Or, if you want to be lazy, people hand out flyers for a variety of fried chicken places, and you can call on your cell phone and have it delivered to the park.

After sunset (spent underground on the subway), we did a small part of the river walk in Seoul. It's a man-made walking path with plenty of places to sit, a laser show, art, and lots of live bands along the way. The path draws families, couples, friends and everyone seemed to be truly enjoying themselves. What saves this from being Disneyland-esque cheezy is how beautiful the whole thing is. Pictures don't do it justice.
