Month: November 2023

November 19, 2023

It was a nice fall Sunday for the three of us. Mason and all his classmates were absolutely thrilled about one of his friends birthday parties at a kids café in Lotte. After that we made our way to an art exhibit at Sofitel – after I got a quick haircut in the same building – really a barber shop with a great view of the lake. 

After art, we ate Thai which everyone enjoyed, maybe Mason enjoyed watching Bluey more in the booth than the pineapple rice dish he ordered though. HK and I were gluttons though, later ordering sashimi at home for dinner. Perfect fall weather and a day to remember.

It seems like a long time since we got back up to north Seoul. We took the subway to City Hall – Mason utilized his new Ali Express headphones I got him to make the travel time fly by. (kids songs = yankee doodle etc.)

City Hall area was packed with picture takers all along the palace walls as the weather was ideal. In fact, the weather this week in Seoul may be the best 7 days of weather of my life – just perfect.

Next stop was the Korean Bank Museum – which was very impressive architecturally. Mason was more concerned about collecting stamps across the museum’s floors which proved to be a good activity for him.

After the museum, we had a beer and Mason had some watermelon while we waited nearby for our Kalbi restaurant reservation to hit. It was worth the wait – a fantastic dinner and then after the subway ride back home, some late night popcorn and sashimi. 

A very good day.
