Korea Gangnam Style

I guess Gangnam is the wealthy part of Seoul...where people have class and style.  I never knew that.  I also never knew that Psy is the new Michael Jackson...just ask any Korean...better yet, find him on buildings around the city. Visiting Seoul was definitely an experience.  Busy markets, tall buildings that surround ancient palaces, and green mountains masked in mysterious cloud.  We really enjoyed ourselves. Things we learned: Korean is a super difficult language, taxis are cheap, taxis get lost a lot, getting custom clothes made is a blast, the DMZ is awesome/terrifying,Vatos is delicious, and Korean food can wreck your stomach. A little late, but as requested...pictures from our trip. Enjoy!
