Suwon 화성 Fortress

I know it's been a while since my last blog entry. But Spring has come, and I plan on taking many more trips these days to different places in Korea. This past Friday was teacher's day, and I had off from work. So my friend Zach (who I went to Gangwondo with), and I went to Suwon to see the Hwaseong Fotress. It's very interesting, because it's actually a huge outerwall that spans across maybe 3-4 Kilometers. Inside is a town basically. We walked around most of the wall. The main fortress area was shut down on the day we went because they were having some ceremony there, and we tried to walk in, but a security guy told us we couldn't go in. But we still had a great time. It was really beautiful, and we got loads of great pictures:

After the fotress, we met up with some other friends from Dunamis, and we went to Hongdae. There we went to a sweet coffee shop called "Coffee Lab." Then we ate some Japanese Ramen noodles that were soooo delicious. Then we went to a waffle restaurant and we got strawberry and ice-cream waffles, also sooo good. Finally we went to a Jazz cafe called "Evan's." I've been there twice before. A sweet funk/jazz band was playing. After that we saw an outside performance in a park next to the cafe of another band. They were both really fun performances!
