This week we spent 4 days in Seoul (one of which was spent exploring a neighbouring small city called Suwon - kind of like Oshawa in relation to Toronto). What a HUGE city! There are 11 million people who live in Seoul, and 19 million if you count the surrounding suburbs. Wow. Here are some photos of the famous Namdaemun Gate and market in Seoul (the gate is the largest one of its kind in Korea and used to be the main gate in the Seoul fortress). It was a very crowded market on the street level and below, with tiny little shops and one-person alleyways between. There were lots of interesting things to see there! We've also included a shot of the 300-km/hour bullet train we took into Seoul. It was a very smooth ride.
