Erik, Ji-hyun & I took a trip to the children's zoo in Seoul, out by 뚝섬 [Ttukseom]. The zoo was pretty small and sad, but it was still a fun afternoon followed by another night out in 홍대 [Hongdae].

Josh & I went out to the other park the very next day. I was there a little over a year ago, and it was as great as I remembered it. It was a super fun time hanging out with the animals.
