Sneak Peek: Seoul

With a 12 hour layover in Seoul while enroute to Seattle, I was able to escape the airport for a few hours to see a few of the sights around Seoul:

The Cheonggyecheon Stream through downtown Seoul


Gyeongbokgung Palace grounds


The Palace guards (he obviously liked me trying to stand really close to him)


and zooming in on his face





Monkey and Me (my chinese zodiac symbol)


Insadong (popular tourist street for souvenir shopping)
