Yay it is my birthday. I am officially 23 now... To be honest I didn't mind that I would spend my birthday alone (Young still at school - yeah he is damn lazy but in the past few weeks he's been working really hard).
I slept alright, woke up at 4am, went back to sleep at 8 til 11... I met Young for lunch and had bulgogi with bibimbap (barbecued beef slices with rice topped with egg, meat vegetables and sauce). Then we took the underground - which is really fast and never has delays like the London Tube. The trains are really wide and the seats are heated in winter and have air conditioning in summer...
I went to the city centre to see see Seoul's grandest palace: Gyeongbokgung.
As you can see the old (more than 600 years old!!) and the new mix everywhere in Seoul
It also has two museums inside, The National Folk Museum is really good – a member of staff came up to me, they are nice with foreigners and she showed me around for over an hour!
