Seoul Grand Park
Today being Saturday, Sam and I decided that we would embark on our second "weekend adventure" in Korea. We want to try to get out of Osan every weekend and see something cool in Korea. Gives us something to look forward to each week!
This weekend we decided to go to Seould Grand Park, which has a zoo that only costs $1.50 to get into...couldn't pass up a deal like that! Makes for a pretty cheap day!
Most of the zoo was awesome...we saw elephants, tigers, lions (we were there at feeding time), giraffes, snakes, water buffalos, lots of deer and elk-like animals, wolves, pumas, leopards, lots of birds, ostriches, crocodiles, and tons more. We pretty much had the whole zoo to ourselves...probably because it rained ALL day. But that's ok!
This picture was the only sad thing about the zoo, hence the fact that Sam's looking sad in front of one of the monkey cages. This part of the zoo broke my heart. All the monkeys were in little glass cages that were so dirty. They all looked bored out of their minds and pretty sickly. I wish they had been outside at least!
Here's Sam in one of the thatched roof wooden rest areas on the way to the zoo. At this point of the day we thought the rain would be ending soon, and were trying to wait it out under cover. We eventually gave up and just got wet!
Here's me with the giraffes...one of the best animals we saw at the zoo (I thought)!
Here's the sign directing us to the zoo. It was nice that the sign was both Korean and English so we knew which way to walk! Sorry the pictures are out of order...I couldn't figure out how to put them in order on this blog...that'll be next week's project ;0) 
Here we are in the "Asian Animals Pavilion"...lots of cool monkeys and crocodiles and snakes in this place. We didn't get many pictures of the two of us, so I wanted to include this one for your viewing pleasure!# posted by Becky @ 10:31 PM
