Well, we started feeling pretty American again right after Pyontaek, because our next stop today was Everland. A complete Disneyland knockoff, we think. But they must have been pumping drugs through the air there, because it was actually a lot of fun! Not a whole bunch of rides, but we've never seen a cleaner, friendlier place. this place is Korean for sure, given that it is wedged into a valley and steep sidewalks are everywhere, but the attention to detail is incredible.

So a good first week for our adventure. Lots left to do in Seoul, but tomorrow we get on the KTX, the Korean bullet train, and head to Busan on the souther coast. A vacation in a vacation at the Westin Chosun Beach Resort. Supposed to be the choice of all ex-pats. I can only assume we can get an internet hook-up without having to take the laptop to the top of the Eastern Guest House and hold it above my head, so we will plna on letting you know tomorrow about the bullet train....
