Just a Little Walk.../저금 산책이에요...

I was hungry and the restaurant I wanted to go to was closed; so I kept walking. I passed a concrete river and kept going. I went through a traditional outdoor market and kept going. Had dumpling soup; kept walking. Passed a memorial site built by of one last kings of the Joseon Dynasty; it was closed so I had to walk around.

Found a film building and struck up a conversation with a gentleman who was exiting. Korea, like China and the UK, have subsidized film industries. We talked and walked. He brought me through KyungHi University. Took me to a international video rental store; wonderful selection. Parted ways, found a Quickly tea store; kept walking and eventually took the subway back.

My 3 minute walk down the street to get dinner turned into a 3 hour adventure. Not bad for a lazy Saturday.
