So for the Easter weekend, I hung out with my friend and her family. Easter is the time to spend with the family so we decided to explore Seoul a bit before they flew back on Monday.
First, we stopped at 63 Building where we visited Seaworld, the Wax Museum and the Sky Art gallery at the top (which was actually just the 60th floor). Seaworld was very concerning for me as they have certain big animals in really tiny tanks, in general everything was small. I felt really bad for the animals.
Afterwards we had a quick bread lunch before deciding to go downtown to Changdokgung. A smaller palace located in downtown Seoul. Although the weather was windy, it was sunny and so it made it really nice to walk around the palace. Especially with all the beautiful flowers and trees around the palace. As usual there were a lot of people in places like these, especially school children and tourists. After that we went to the stream for a walk before stopping at baskin robbins to have something to drink.
The next day we went to the trick eye Museum in Hongdae. It was really cool. Paintings in which you can pose with as if you are part of the picture and various other knicks and knacks. It was very fun.
After the trick eye museum we went to Namsan Hanok Village where we saw a Taekwondo performance, a traditional wedding, and various other wedding photo shoots and the traditional Korean houses. It was really nice as well as there was the Namsan Park nearby. Very beautiful to walk through. The Taekwondo performance was very outstanding! I wish I could do Taekwondo but it looks very intense.

After our walk, we decided to eat out as it was my friend's family's last day in Seoul, we decided to eat out and have some Californian style pizza. It was soooo good! It was a very nice ending to the Easter weekend.
It's really nice having people come visit us this semester since it makes us actually go out and explore Seoul a bit. My friends from Canada are coming here this week so I'm super excited.
Who knows what kind of Seoul adventure we're going to embark on.
