Sunsets, Sports & Shopping

This past weekend was a great weekend in Seoul. With it being monsoon season and all, Seoul receives a lot of rain. Some days I wonder why anyone lives in a region with monsoons. The forecast for the next 14 days told me that as of Tuesday I should expect rain. Same, same... every day. So When we get a few days of sunshine everyone is out enjoying the awesomeness.


Friday early evening is when the rain FINALLY let up after a few solid days of rain. I headed out to see Banpo bridge, which has a beautiful light show. Although I was in the apparent area of this bridge I didn't find it. You're probably asking "how hard is it to seriously find a 4-lane bridge over a huge river?" and it isn't if you acutally look. I began walking from the subway station and ended up stopping to watch a stunning sunset over the Han River (the main river in Seoul that runs East-West and essentially is the diving point determining North and South). Lights on a bridge or a peaceful, stunning sunset? I think I found what I was looking for. A stunning yet relaxing start to the weekend. 


The rest of the weekend included a taekwondo team "Sports Day," supper with the crew, a cooking class (made such amazing tandoori chicken and biryani rice... SO AMAZING! I really wish I could attend the cooking class on a regular basis), and some shopping for my upcoming trip. I heart sales and Korean's love shopping so shopping here is no longer a teeth pulling like process with me.

Hope everyone had a great weekend too! 1 month and 17 days until change... soon a dream to come true. Enjoy the pictures below of Friday July 6th, sunset over the Han. (No I didn't photoshop these and yes I just used my point and shoot, waterproof/drop-proof camera).
