The Doosan Bears vs. The Samsung Lions.

Pre-game selfie :-)

By the time we got into the taxi to go from Noryanjin Fish Market to Jamsil Stadium, I was wide awake and thank God for that because of all the things I was looking forward to doing while we were in Seoul, it was to attend a baseball game at Jamsil Stadium. Baseball is huge in Korea and from what I had read, the games are a fun experience.  I had tried to buy tickets online before leaving home but apparently, you need a Korean ID to do that.  I even tried to use Chase Sapphire concierge services to see if they could buy the tickets but no luck.

Fishing Around. Noryangjin.


So tired, so very, very tired.  My whole body felt tired.....down to my eyelids which felt like they had to really struggle to open up.  Even my brain was tired.  That's exactly how I felt when I woke up this morning.  I think jet lag finally caught up with me.  Had I been on my own today, I would have slept in but George woke up fresh as a daisy and raring to go so I dragged myself out of bed.

A Boozy Evening in Seoul.

Tonight we had a bit of foodie fun.  When I was researching things to do in Seoul, I stumbled upon a food tour - more specifically, a soju brewmaster tour offered by a company called Gastro Tour Seoul.   The tour description sounded interesting and George was on board with doing it so I signed us up.

Changdeokgung Palace.


Ffter having lunch in Insadong, I fired up my Google map George and I walked the short distance to Changdeokgung Palace, another one of the five Joseon Dynasty palaces located in Seoul.
