Biking on the Han

In the beginnings of news, we got a new camera!!!!!!!!!! It's a cute little ditty that you can check out here: http://images-jp.amazon.com/images/P/B000EMTKNW.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg And so cool that it's PINK! That's right, fuzzy kitty, cute lil' lollipop, my little pony, cotton candy PINK. Cuz really, why the heck not? We got a stellar deal on it at Yongsan (a huge market for all things electronic) and decided that we should test it out the very next day. Our friends Colin (the Han) and Anne (put em together and they're the 'Hanne') suggested a nice little 28 km bike jaunt along the dirty river from Youido Park to Olympic Park (where the 1988 Olympics were held -like I knew that). And for $3/hr we were utterly set. We kicked our camera into widescreen mode, and we were off.

Our butts were sore pretty soon, but the air felt great and so did the gently cooling climate in Seoul. A perfect Sunday bike ride.

The 63 Tower was highly reflective, and just begging us to be included in our new-fangled widescreen pictogrophage. We obliged.

And 45 minutes later, presto! we arrived. There were lots of stadiums that appeared mostly empty, except for one wherein lay a Taekwondo tournament!!! We partook of the super-"Hi YA!" hitting fest for a wee bit, cheering for the guy who looked like he could do us the most harm [should we, by some remote chance, be somehow caught unawares and unable to tap our own amazing reflexes and mad hitting skills]. Then it was a loverly treck back for delicious ice cream before subwaying it to our pad. A wonderful day!
