Han River Boat Tour + Kindergarten Randomness

There are a lot of park areas along the river which are great places to spend warm weather days. You can rent tandem bikes (still need to do that), rent kites to fly, take a paddle boat out into the river (the swan shaped boats look pretty dope), rollerblade/skateboard/walk along the boardwalk, or just set up a blanket on the grass to people watch, read a book, have a picnic, or just relax.  These are photos from the Han River boat tour I took with some of the girls from work.
That's 63 Building (sixty three is for the number of floors it has). It was the tallest building in Korea till 2002.  The observation deck is supposed to be a nice place to get a good city view.  It also houses some good restaurants, an IMAX theater, and an aquarium. 

If you can't tell, those are kites in the sky. I think those are the LG twin towers, but they look a bit distorted in this photo.

Koreans love photo ops. The second it took me to take this photo was the only second of our entire 90 minute trip that the neon lights heart structure was not occupied by small Korean children or couples. (The peace sign made many appearances in that heart).

National Parliament Building. 


Completely unrelated to the tour, I asked my kindergarten students to describe a picture (underwater photo with fish [and some bubbles]) and William bursts out laughing, holds his nose and says "Fish is BRRREAKING wind!" It was adorable. I have no clue where he learned that from, I definitely have never said that before.  Also, when I showed them a photo of a butterfly, Aileen yelled, enthusiastically and with confidence, "BUTTERFLOWER!!" I love my kindergarten students, I will miss them.
