Saturday morning: 9am. Coffee at Penthouse de la Reed. After coffee we head to the train station and take the slow train to Seoul. We wander in the general direction of our guest house, Yeha, to drop off our stuff. If you are visiting Seoul, we recommend Yeha Guest House. Click here for more information.
We head to get lunch because by this time we are starving. We ate at Scrooges because it is a rugby pub and we will be hanging out here for the next 8 hours or so for the various rugby games. After lunch we wander around and freshen up before the game.
Back at Scrooges we eat dinner and play various games before the rugby games begin. The Welsh game was great! Wales won and Debbie and Becki were very excited and glad Wales won the Grand Slam! We were glad as well but seeing as we aren't Welsh...
Sunday was a day of a as-real-as-it-gets-in-Korea UK breakfast: eggs, hash browns, real bacon (it's rare here), toast, jam, butter, sausages, and beans. It was delicious. Next was shopping and then lunch at Quiznos! Yumminess. Found our latest family member the cutest Hanbok and a few other things and then headed home on the express bus. All of us fell asleep about 20 minutes in and didn't wake up until we were pulling into the Daejeon terminal.
We had a great weekend and can't wait until our next weekend there.
"We Won the Grand Slam!"

Itaewon is the foreign neighborhood and it is also where the American Army Base is. Point of interest: some of the American Army personnel are not as nice as they seem to be when the sun goes down. To be honest, I would be ashamed to say I was American in this neighborhood during those hours. We personally saw a few soldiers (not in uniform) asked to leave an establishment with their transvestite escorts in tow due to their inappropriate comments and behaviors. Outside during the later hours of the evening are not our favorite part of Itaewon although to each their own. Our idea of a good time is food, shopping and laughter. Not acting like a fool.
Anyway...
Regardless, we had a lovely weekend and we enjoyed rugby. I hope when we go home to stay we can continue watching rugby and keep up with it.
There were a lot of pictures however these will be the only ones on our blog. When we next see you we will be more than happy to share all of our pictures if you care to see them. So sad there were this few to post.

| This man was half an inch shorter than me! In the Seoul subway station and we couldn't stop laughing. He was slowly edging away from me as we think he caught on. |
