Wicked!

I have been wanting to see the show Wicked for some time now. I even read the book this past December and was so excited to see that it was in town... Well in Seoul (4 hours away). Brandon and the kids decided to give me a ticket for Mother's day and so I invited a friend to go with me. We took the fast train (1 hour 45 min.) up to Seoul on Friday night and took the subway to the theater. The theater was right outside of the subway exit. We only had to walk about 50 feet. It was so awesome! What a great performance. It was by an Australian team and so it was in English(bonus)what an experience! The costumes were amazing and I could just go on and on... We then took the subway to the closest stop to the temple and stayed over night at the temple. Here they have an area attached to the temple where there are dorm room type areas that you can rent for $10 per night if you are going to be doing temple work. So we slept there and had a session on Saturday morning. We then went to a touristy area in Seoul called Itawon where there are some amazing eating places. I was so excited to be able to see that there was a Thai restaurant there where I could have some Pad Thai. Yum! There was also a English book store that sold new and used books. Yay! A place to find books where we don't have to wait for Amazon to come through. Cheaper?... No! Not really, about the same but in a place where if we are in the area a quick was to get a few new books for both the adults and the kids both.
