Emmeline, today we took a bus from Incheon (where Derek and Ashley live and teach) to Seoul, which is the largest city in this country. I think Minneapolis is the largest city that you would remember being in–I think Seoul is about 5 times bigger than Minneapolis.

We rode the bus through some countryside and some mountains, and through a lot of tunnels underneath he mountains. Then we got off the bus and took the subway. A subway is a train that goes underground, beneath a city instead of through it. To get to the subway we had to buy a ticket and walk down a lot of steps. You can almost see the subway train in this picture, Emmeline–the green stripe behind that window is on the side of the train.

After the four of us got off the subway (and walked up a lot of steps) we walked around in an area that has a lot of restaurants and shops and people. And today it had a lot of rain, too. There was an 80% chance of rain today, but I didn’t want to carry an umbrella, unlike the rest of the population of Seoul. It was a calculated risk–I got 80% wet.
