So Yongsan is the elentronics market of South Korea. We went there and it turned out to be HUGE. Lots of goodies available - pretty much THE place to go if you are looking to purchase any sort of major electronic (or if you need to repair a computer). We also found a HOOTERS. Haha. They have a special on Mondays - 10,000 won = ALL YOU CAN DRINK. Very tempted to go back there one of these days...
We also found this huge mall that had everything. Every floor was amazing. One floor had a wedding hall/reception area, one had a putt-putt course, one was a cinema, and on one particular floor there was a Mini Cooper Club store. The store was full of Mini goodies. Reminded me of Mum and Dad. :)

Oh yea...did I mention that we found a Coldstone? We couldn't resist the goodness that is Coldstone. Especially considering this is probably one of the nearest ones (2 hours away).

We opted for the Earl Grey with brownie and caramel. The Earl Grey really did taste like Earl Grey, complete with the after taste of lemon. It was crazy.
It was probably one of the first times in a really long time that I ate Coldstone without a Baines family member being present. Jennifer and/or Robert usually accompanied us on our Coldstone excursions. Thought about you guys! :D

Flash forward to the next day because I didn't take very many pictures of Yongsan market. It really was just an electronic paradise. Oh, haha, there was a mall like building that had a floor pretty much dedicated to Gundam. Two huge stores with Gundam thingies that you could put together (half of the people reading this are not going to understand what I'm talking about...where are you WILL!?!).
The picture to the right was taken as we were walking to our trail. That is a male. Yes, it is a male. I've noticed that Koreans have an odd sense of fashion. Everywhere I look, I see people wearing things that I would never put together because they do not match. However, these people are wearing them. It confuses me. But I like it...to a degree. It gives me a license to wear whatever I want! :P

This is just some kids playing on the rocks.

| The start of our trail - I call that building the "Hooters" buildin |
This is just some graffiti that we pass on our trail.
Just another picture of the trail. We run towards the mountains and back.
Our trail gets flooded whenever there is a real heavy storm.
The open road. I like this picture.
We get to run along a river. Gongneungcheon is the name.
Those are my ducks.

Jacob admirering the view.
Jacob kept telling me to take pictures of the mountains. He wants to go to the mountains one day but we have to figure out how to get there. We think they lead to North Korea too...so we want to be careful.

At the end of our trail, we found a little monument area complete with a small playground. Well, not, playground because it isn't a playground. It's a bunch of equipment for working out that is strange and we don't think really benefits you in many ways. There were some pretty neat looking statues though...

My favorite statue! I have to say that this little guy was pretty awesome looking.

This was a monument to the people in Paju who fought in the Vietnam war. The guy is holding two children and a gun.
