Day 2: Seoul City Tour

Posted by Mitchell on Sep 12, 2008 in Family Matters | 2 comments

  Today we took the Seoul City Tour. This is a great deal where they run buses every half hour in a large circuit of the city. You pay once and have a pass to board all day long on the tour bus. The stops are at the most popular areas and you can get off where you like and then catch a later bus to keep going. The first area we stopped at was Namdaemun Market. There is not much of an American equivalent that I can think of. Imagine blocks and blocks of stores that are everywhere. Buildings...

Day 1: To North Korea and Back

Posted by Mitchell on Sep 11, 2008 in Family Matters | 1 comment

Today was my first day in Seoul. We got up bright and early, as in 5am, to get over to the USO office and get on the tour bus for the DMZ(DeMilitarized Zone). I’m basically an expert now having been on the tour, so I’ll give a very brief summary for those of you who aren’t experts like myself. The DMZ is a 4 kilometer wide area that goes from coast to coast across the Korean penninsula. This is 2 kilometers back from the official border or Military Demarcation Line(MDL). There...

Hello everyone, Yes we are back!!! It took a while to find few minutes to write our adventures but there is always light at the end of a tunnel. Me and the girls had a blast, SUN, GELATO, PIZZA, SAND, WATER, SANDCASTLE and more were the menu of the day. It was hot in Italy, but we loved every moment of it. We loved feeling the sun touching our skins (we got a pretty good tan). Audrey did very well with her italian, Olivia decided that she was done with diaper so she potty trained herself....

Okay, so that worked out well

So, if you had been tuning in, you would have seen 13 tons of gobble-de-gook on the blog. Thanks to how Microsoft sends email, the blog by phone approach failed. I wanted you to see my adventure, which is on my friend’s blog: spoke-and-word.blogspot.com. As for the blog and the MitchCast…yeah. So I’m in a dry spell right now. The deck isn’t done, I’m having some life crises, and, I’m behind in my mail. What can I tell you? Hang in there, tune in, and be...
