Seoul World Cup Stadium

Friday we visited Seoul World Cup Stadium. Korea and Japan shared hosting the 2002 World Cup and the finals were held in Seoul. It was also the first time that an Asian country, Korea, made it to the semi-finals. This year it's in South Africa and there are signs everywhere.

We were hoping to catch a local FC Seoul soccer game but the team was off and they were setting up for a Korean boy band concert. We went through the FIFA soccer museum and took a peek at the field.

Thomas enjoyed the visit as well.

A canal with bike trails runs outside the stadium with a beautiful view of Seoul. With Buddha's birthday, there were a lot of people off and it was busy.

In the afternoon we visited other neighborhoods and walked a ton. Tomorrow we're leaving a lot of time to visit the Korean War Museum and then will start to pack and get things ready to receive the twins in the afternoon.
