Korea and Mongolia!








Every year at the end of April, there are a string of National holidays which line up to essentially create a week off. A friend and I took full advantage of this week and traveled to Korea and Mongolia. While in Korea, we stayed with my friend's sister near Seoul. Although we received a lot of glares from Koreans, we had a great time exploring, shopping, and eating. We were able to see Ironman in 4D, which was an epic experience!

In Mongolia, we stayed in a traditional ger. About half of the population lives in these mobile houses. We traveled to the old capital, visited various monasteries and statues, rode horses, and walked around the capital city, UlaanBaatar. Even though our flight was rescheduled for two days later (and we confused the security guards by sleeping at the airport), it was definitely an awesome unique experience.
