Day 4
October 30, 2011 Seoul
On our fourth day, we transferred to another unit in the same building as we were unable to reserve Ann Guesthouse for another day. We moved to Hongdae Guesthouse. It was not as homey as Ann which would account for the cheaper price.
We then went out for brunch at Loteria, the local equivalent of Jollibee. We made a quick stop at Kinki Robot along the way.
At Gyeongbokgung Palace, we were treated to a free guided tour by a Korean grade school student. The tour was, first and foremost, a way for students to practice the English language. I found the tour very informative and the student very engaging. It was refreshing to find a kid who is very passionate and proud about his country's history and culture.
We then went to Gwanghwamum Square located across the palace before heading to dinner.
We then made our way to catch the last showing of the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain on Banpo Bridge at the Han river. We thought the last showing was at 930 PM. Alas, it was actually 900 PM so we missed it. We just spent the night instead with some coffee and dessert at the Sunrise (or was it Sunset?) tower of the bridge.
