Honeymoon in Seoul, Korea

Honeymoon in Seoul, Korea

The second stop of our Honey Moon, we met up with family and friends in Seoul, Korea. This is our first time in Korea aside from a stopover a few years back. It’s definitely an amazing county to visit.

Live octopus is one of the most popular delicacies in Korea. We didn’t try but was amused by this giant wall mounted octopus which reminded us on Dotonburi in Osaka. 2013-09-15-14h01m20

For any war and history buffs, I highly recommend the Korean war museum. The entire side of the building had huge displays of war vehicles and plans from the Korean war. 2013-09-15-15h45m47

This giant pot pie is not what it seems. Inside consists of curry fried chicken. Apparently Koreans are obsessed with fried chicken and have mastered it down to an art form. It’s hard to believe but one of the best fried chickens in my life I ate in Korea.  (Hand over pie to show how big it was!)2013-09-15-20h06m32
