This week we had a lovely break from school in honor of Korean Thanksgiving, Chuseok. Though we planned on attending some cultural events around the city, Ryan became sick just in time for the break. Boo! He started feeling a little better towards the end though and we were able to enjoy the extremely pleasant weather Seoul has had as of late. We walked across the bridge near our house to the very beautiful Banpo Bridge Park. In this case, the grass is definitely greener on the other side. 
We rented this tandem bicycle and rode all up and down the river, glimpsing skyscraper after skyscraper and some cheezy Korean couples on picnics. You can see one such pair in the video below (taken from the back seat of the bike.) It's a popular Korean trend to wear matching outfits with the one you love.
Our friends, Carrie & Dan Buller, were out and about a few weeks ago and heard a man speaking Portuguese; since Dan speaks Portuguese also, he introduced himself. The man was Fabricio from Brazil and he lives in Seoul and plays for the Korean soccer league. We went to watch Fabricio in action Saturday night. Happy Soccer! Happy Yellow!

Hi Abby, thanks for sharing! So, moonstruck fully-grown Korean couples wear matching clothes and play patty-cake on picnic blankets? Wow...just, wow. I mean, yikes!
Thanks for the update! Does the bike shop also rent Couple Wear for tandem excursions? Glad you can enjoy the warmth while it lasts.
