Han River Ferry Cruise

Han River Ferry Cruise
08/02/2012 @ 여의도 [Yeouido]

During our summer vacation, JC, Katrina & I went on a little river excursion. For only 11,000 won, we took a one hour round-trip journey up and down the Han in central Seoul. If you're looking for something interesting to do in the evening, I would definitely suggest this. It's a really good way to beat the summer heat with a nice river breeze. It was really beautiful too.

How to get to the Han River Ferry Cruise:

Yeouinaru Station [여의나루역] (Seoul Subway Line 5) - Exit 3

Walk out of the subway, and you will the see river on your left. Walk towards the river and follow the sidewalks to the right. After about five minutes you'll see the ticket booth on the right. There are two structures on the river that are filled with eateries and marts; these are also the ferry ports. The ticket office is right next to these structures.

Youth Friendship Meeting

Korea - China - Japan
07/28/2012 @ 홍대 [Hongdae]

Last weekend, I went out to Hongdae with Chelsea to get some lunch, and we stumbled upon a little youth gathering. It was a large group of young people from Korea, China & Japan. As many of you are aware. These three countries have had a bit of a rough history. This past has left a lot of negative feelings amongst the people today. I think it was a wonderful thing that these kids were doing. They were out in the heat, showing everyone that we are all just people that can be friends.

How to get to Hongdae:

Hongik University Station [홍대입구역] (Seoul Subway Lines 2) - Exit 9 / Exit 8

Exit 9 is the most common exit that will take you straight to the fun. I personally like exit 8; it's a little farther away from the action, but far less busy.

Rainbow [Banpo] Bridge

Sunday Night Light Show
07/22/2012 @ 서울 반포대교 [Seoul - Banpo Bridge]

Summer is in full swing, and it's sweltering hot and humid. I don't really stop sweating, unless I'm at work. It's the only place I go that has a very powerful AC system. Even at home, it really doesn't get cool. Meh, just part of life.

Last weekend, I went for a nice stroll from Gangnam to the Han River with Josh. We ended up at the rainbow bridge. I had been one time about a year ago, but I always enjoy showing people new things, so this one became a repeat.

How to get to the Rainbow [Banpo] Bridge:

Express Bus Terminal Station [고속터미널역] (Seoul Subway Lines 3, 7 & 9) - Exit 8-1

I know this sounds a little confusing, but follow these walking directions, and you will get there. Turn right out of exit 8-1. Walk for approx. 7 minutes until you run directly into a building. Walk around the left side of the building, and continue walking in the same direction you have been for about 50 meters. You will find a path beyond the parking, follow this to the right for another 50 meters or so. You will see a tunnel on your left; this leads directly to Banpo Bridge.
