Sightseeing in Seoul

We have had a good time in Seoul and have been all over the city on the subway. We have done a lot of shopping at the different markets and it is shopping like I have NEVER seen...the markets go on and on forever (somewhat like the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul if anyone else has been there). It is almost overwhelming how big the markets are.

On Saturday night we went to the Korea House for traditional Korean food and saw traditional Korean dance. The dances and costumes were beautiful.

We have been to the sauna here in our hotel but it is not a real JIM JIL BANG, more like the spa you might have in your gym locker room. After shopping yesterday we went to the JIM JIL BANG downtown for "real" Korean sauna, and yes, it was exactly as the article described down to the "uniforms" (see prior blog/article about Korean spa).

Here are a pictures of our sightseeing:
