Today was a short day so far. I had to split it up to check into the new Hostel and that compleatly runned my flow. Got on the road at 10ish and went to Gyeongbokgung Palace. It was a nice place, nothing really to write home about. I'll post pictures later. The strange thing was the lack of seperation of the palace grounds from the rest of the city. Everything just merged togeather. From what I remember about Japan this is a compleatly different style. Also because everything was recreated and rebuilt it looked a bit cheesy. I only got about an hour there before I had to go check in to my new Hostel at 1:00.
On my way to the Hostel I wound up on the wrong bus, but managed to find a subway line and took that to the Hostel. When I got there it was 1:30, I went to check in and found out check in time was at 2:00. I waited until then, and ran into my Professor. There were some compleacations checking in and I got out of the Hostel at 3:00ish. I said I would be back around 5 to help people find the Hostel, and so I'm taking a break now to write the blog. So far I'm the only one here.
Anyhow in my 2 hour break I tried to go on a hike. That didn't pan out. It was a bit to far away from the subway line and I was worried I didn't have enough time/ I might get lost. Instead I went back to Gyeongbokgung to look at a Museum there. Again nothing impressive, but still nice. Anyhow thats it for today. Maybe tonight will be more interesting. I'm still looking forward to getting in a swim some time soon.

haha, glad to hear you are realizing how no matter how nice seattle is on a national scale, it's definetly far from ideal on a global scale. souds like you're having a great tie, and yay for stopping by the aquarium, thougi got sucked into spending about 20$ to get into on the in australia that was not worth it's price either. Keep up the blogging, i'm impresse di never managed to keep one of these alive for very long. Also, you will soon learn that if you are up for just an exploration hike, you'll not want to have a time frame for it other than an open afternoon. That way you can go as far as you want or stop and stare at the view for as long as you want. it's much better! take care!
