Christmas Day 2009 was the first chance I had been able to really get out and explore part of Seoul. A friend and I took the train from Camp Casey down to Seoul and headed for the famous Namdaemun Market. It is more ore less a huge flea type market with hundreds of vendors, selling anything from food to clothes, medicine to electronics. Some of it is indoors, some outdoors and some underground. We spent all day walking around, trying the food and taking pictures.
Before we headed home, we took a taxi to the 63 Building, which is one of the tallest buildings in Seoul. There is an observation deck on one of the top floors. It has a couple restaurants, and an art Exhibit, all on the same top floor. It was very busy that night with lots of families.
Below are a handful of photos from the day trip. To see all the photos, please go here: Xmas Day in Seoul

Visitor notes; everyone would post notes wishing for peace and to just say hi
There were little Korean kids everywhere
