Korean tradition and a baseball game

 This morning we are meeting Jihee at a subway station away from the hotel and requiring a transfer.  

This was our first foray by ourselves and we walked down a quiet Insadong.

 Anguk station and here we go.

These trains run on several levels and stairs are everywhere.

 Interesting getting to know our tourist pass for the Seoul Metro.

 Here is the train.

Sue, do we know where we are going.  The electronic sign does use English.

 We have arrived.

 Here is Jihee, we were right on time.

The Korean Folk Village

We are at the Korean Folk Village, a site where many buildings from around Korea have been transported for upkeep and to tell the traditions of the Korean people.

jihee recommended fish sticks which is made mostly of rice.  It really tastes good.  Al had a sausage included with his for a Korean Pronto Pup.

We felt like we were at the Minnesota State Fair as anything on a stick would make this product be right at home.

Traditional menu.

 The Bears versus the Twins

Jihee buying slapsticks for her friends Olga, Ronan and Daniel.  We are at the Olympic site where the Bears and the Twins will have a game.

The LG Twins.  Teams in this league are owned by corporations.

 I see balls and strikes but who is playing second base?

A little bit of the action.

The Bears won, 6 to 5.
