Falling even further behind with these travel posts, gah! How is everyone? Well I hope?
I was only in Seoul for a couple of days, and lost pretty much an entire day to a fairly miserable stomach bug which was a giant tragedy. :( Especially since because of said stomach bug I didn't get the full South Korean food experience, as pretty much everything I tried tended towards the spicy and I was naturally ultra leery of spicy stuff because that burns coming back up. One thing I did notice about South Korea though which I didn't expect is how much they appear to love fried chicken. I swear every time I turned around there was another fried chicken place, KFC there must be all like 'AHHHH MOTHERLAND!'. I did venture to try some on my last day once my stomach was feeling a little more steady and have to say, no wonder, South Korea is pretty freaking good at fried chicken, it's like some undiscovered local speciality next to kimchi and bibimbap.
Anyhow, complaining about health issues is no fun and no one wants to read that. That time was mostly spent trying to stay hydrated in the hotel and watching Korean dramas which I didn't understand (and Ocean's Twelve and Cloud Atlas, the latter of which was only marginally more comprehensible than the dramas). As for the rest of it, that time was awesome!
