I spent this weekend in Seoul with 4 friends to see the big Lotus Lantern Festival for Buddha's upcoming birthday. I think this was the most fun I've had in Korea so far, and definitely the best trip to Seoul. Saturday we visited two palaces: Changdeokgung (창덕궁) and Deoksugung (덕수궁), and saw the opening parade in Insadong. On Sunday we wandered back to Insadong to check out the festival and stayed there for the big parade. Our train back to Daejeon was scheduled at 9:40, but just before heading for the platform, we realized that our tickets were actually for Daejeon to Seoul. Fortunately, the train 10 minutes later had plenty of seats, and it was only 2,000W a person to switch. Nice!
For whatever reason, I currently can't upload photos in Blogger, so here's the slide show from Picasa and a link if you would rather head over yourself.
