Our first stop was to secure a hotel and this place was cheaper than most that we stayed in but it was still pretty posh. I had to get a picture of the bathroom because there was actually a seat warmer ... I had no idea how to use it but you could tell it was on!
They also provided us with toothbrushes, toothpaste, face mask, bubble bath, facial wash, razors and q-tips all in a cool blue pouch. The motels also provide shampoo, hair rinse and body wash but those they store in the bathroom... now if only they would give you something bigger than a hand towel to dry off with.. Luckily we don't take showers if we only stay one night, but we did use the toothbrushes!
After dropping off all our stuff we headed to the subway to make our way to the festival.
Yeah, it was NOT crowded at all.
The park itself was really huge, and totally surrounded by apartment buildings. The fountain would move along with the beats of the music blaring all over the park.
They had lots of exhibits about light and also a rock climbing wall. It was HUGE. We had fun just standing around watching this guy get to the top.
Another side of the park.
This was the huge building we watched a 3d movie in. It was hard to tell what was going on since the movie was in korean... it was also bad because they let in way more people than they actually had space for so joseph and I ended up sitting on the aisle steps with little kids sitting on our feet, and little kids kicking us in the butts...
They had all kinds of tents selling everything from toys, boomerangs, doughnuts and hats... pretty much anything you wanted.
This was one of the cool exhibits we could take a picture of with our camera.
I wish I could own this piece, it was really neat it would change color every few second, but slowly so you felt like the sun was rising and setting... very neat.
Lightbulbs filled with wishes for the future.
I felt like I was walking through a light bright!
Lawn furniture made out of flourecent bulbs.
this structure was called "the eye"
So Happy to see some flowers finally. Yeah Winter is over!
Towers in the park at sunset.

The flag that helped us find our way.
The city was fairly large, and we were one of three other white people we saw that day... Must have been pretty interesting to the Koreans too because we were stopped a few times for people to talk to us and show off their english skills, or to take a picture with us. Kinda weird when all you want is to find a bathroom, and someone is telling you how much they admire Kennedy... "yeah yeah yeah, me too, where is the toilet?" (because they don't say restroom, and have no clue what you are saying if you do)
All in all it was a nice day...
