So I took My Mum off to Seoul today with the school giving me an extra day off and we ventured over to the Boshingak Bell Ringing Ceremony where we were asked by envious Korean onlookers if we could help to ring the bell at 11.45 :) It was really funny and we felt really daft having to practically march behind the guards in their bright yellow and red outfits with crowds of onlookers. Think we both felt quite priveledged as a little old man metioned how wucky we were to have been involved with it :) Bless him. Felt a bit like a celebrity with everyone snapping away at us :)

The weathers been a bit nicer today after the miserable one yesterday and the cherry blossoms were out surrounding the Bukhansan Mountain Peaks and Gyeongbokgung Palace and it was a really pretty, bright day. We had a good walk about in Insadong and took Mum for some Korean style rice and bulgogi....she's trying but a little overwhelmed by the food right now but how can I blame her after the audacity she had shoved in her face on her first korean meal out?! hee :) Its all TOO FUNNY for me to watch her face each time the waiters bring out our food ;)

We did a bit of shopping in Myeongdong and then took the KTX right back home now hungry for some grub and an early night ready for a good old back massage tomorrow morning at my local jimjilbang. Bring it on Ajumas ! Bliss.
