not much new here

I've been too lazy to post anything lately. Other than going to school and then coming home to relax in the evenings, I didn't do much last week. This weekend William and I stayed in and watched movies we'd downloaded to our computers. I know we should be going out but it was nice to stay in, especially since it was a rainy weekend. We did go to Itaewon a couple of days after I went to Dongdaemun. Itaewon is an area within Seoul. This is a view of the N Seoul Tower from the train.We walked around the main shopping street for awhile then ate dinner at a Thai restaurant. The Itaewon area had quite a few western stores interspersed with Korean shops. There were several men's tailors so if William wants to get a nice suit while we're here, this will be the place to go. I liked these because the uncut fabrics are out and neatly arranged for men to browse and pick what they want for a suit. The shops looked very professional and had really nice fabrics.

The main shopping street was lined with big Sycamore trees interspersed with bright yellow gingko's (fan-shaped leaves). The fall colors in Seoul arrived sooner than they have in Pyeongtaek. We finally have some fall colors now, but mostly the yellow gingkos.

On the train on the way home I snapped this picture of the Han River and Seoul skyline.
And here's a photo for Lana, who was sad that there had not been any photos of William yet :) Sorry, I tried to get him to smile.
