Walking to LottoMart

Susan and I decided to go for a little walk today. We walked about 20 minutes to Seoul Station, the main train station in Seoul. There is a very large five story department store there, with food and dishes, etc on one floor. We saw a dance group performing on a stage in front of Seoul Station with lots of people watching them. We decided to have dinner at Bennigan's which also happens to be located there. After enjoying a very nice meal for about $35, we walked over to the store. We shopped and looked around for a while. When we came out to go home, we saw hundreds of young policemen with clubs and shields and helmets stationed in groups around the public demonstration that had replaced the dancing on the stage. We ducked under the performers on an escalator that went to the subway. Once at the bottom, we walked about 500 meters to another escalator and came back up to street level. On the other side it was quiet, but we could see dozens of police busses waiting for the policemen we had just seen. We walked back home, taking a different route. This winding trip took us back and forth between 5 story apartments, and we finally found our way home. Altogether we were gone over two hours, a good walk in the fresh air (albeit polluted fresh air) of Seoul. Another very nice adventure!
