around Seoul

That Sunday, we finally took Amber to Seoul. We live in Anyang City -- approximately an hour away by train to Seoul proper. Since Amber will turn six months a few days from that Sunday, we've decided that our little one is ready for long train rides.

The weather being all sunny, save for the temperature of 19degC, was bearable. Amber, all wrapped up, seemed to enjoy sightseeing contrary to our belief that she'll easily get bored and sleep the entire time. Though she slept the whole time while in the train, she was wide awake by the time we arrived at our stop.  (I totally understood her for there's not much to see in the subway, anyway.)

On the left: the old Seoul City Hall and and at its back, the new Seoul City Hall building.

The old Seoul City Hall building is now a public library.

And here's the mandatory outfit shot: 

Top: Uniqlo, chinos: Gap, shoes: Vans, bag: Longchamp

After a lot of walking, we took a break at Caffe Pascucci.

Sejong the Great. 

He was the fourth king of Joseon Dynasty and founder of Korea's written language, the Hangul.

The ceiling of Gwanghwamun. The main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Spotted soon-to-be K-Pop Girl group. hehe

Amber. Overwhelmed by her surroundings.

Children's artworks at King Sejong museum. 

Autumn is setting soon so we try to spend the last remaining days of bearable temperature outdoors. Korea winter is looooonnng and the temperature drops at negative degrees -- at that setting, the only option is to stay indoors.
