Last weekend, my friends and I decided to take a trip to Suwon, a city an hour south of Seoul. A king back in 1796 had tried to move the capital city from Seoul to Suwon but failed miserably. The story goes that the king missed his deceased father so much that he decided to build him a great tomb. Instead, the tomb ended up becoming a fortress. The king then wanted to be closer to his father's burial place so he tried to move the capital. I think it's a neat story of honor and love. An interesting side note, Suwon happens to be where Samsung headquarters is. This is where all those designs for cellphones, flatscreen TVs, and flashdrives come from.
Prost! I think that's German for Cheers. My German friends taught it to me when we were in Suwon.

I'm jealous of all the places you get to travel to and visit. Take advantage of every opportunity you can. Love the pictures too!
