First moments in Korea

Hi everybody,

I arrived last night in Seoul after a short overseas flight of 2 and a half hours.
It was quite a long day though, getting up at 7:00 am, taking 2 different buses to go to the Tokyo airport and having a few delays here and there. I made it through the cold Seoul night and into my cousy guesthouse. It is very homelike, it actually is a family run business and the people overhere are easy to bond with. After 24 hours, I already have a few buddies, it's crazy!!!
I spent the first day trying to get a good feel of the city and even though it has been a little hard to follow the "maps" from the lonelyplanet guidebook, I managed to see a few temples and a real nice street filled with small shops and boutiques. The weather is very cold, -6 oc, but it is sunny and just a little windy. I think I will have a blast overhere, since I've been kindly guided by this English guy, David. He showed me how the subway system worked and where I should go for the first few days.
Enjoy the pictures!!
