In the last few days we have done quite a bit. Besides school, we have visited a Korean prison, the Seoul Zoo, and the Toilet House Museum. There is so much to do in Seoul, we are trying to fit it all in before we leave. The prison was really quite interesting; The Japanese had taken thousands of Koreans prisoner and tortured and murdered them.

On a much more cheerful note, we also visited the zoo, it is one of the largest in the world. Unfortunately many of the exhibits were closed while we were there, we didn't get the see dolphins, any types of birds, or even the tigers (which is one of the most popular animals there). Once we got to the top of the hill where the zoo ended, we were able to take a ski lift down to the bottom again, it took about fifteen minutes or so, but the view was amazing! Besides missing out on some things, we had a great time.

After the zoo we took the subway to the Toilet House museum. Apparently there was a governor, or some type of political figure that was obsessed with toilets. He built his house in the shape of a toilet bowl, and collected things all about toilets, it was interesting. Bathroom humor translates in any language.

Lastly I wanted to mention something about the food in Korea. There are tons of resturants that are so good. Even if they look a little weird, as long as it seems clean, try it. There is this one restaurant down the street from campus (the name is in Korean so I can't pronounce it) but they have this noodle dish that is so good and is only 2500 won or about $2.50. A lot of food is very cheap, and street food is to die for, but make sure to attempt to learn spicy in Korean, because they definitely layer the spices.
