Day two of our short rest in Seoul is a full day city tour. The city has thirteen million residents but the number of people walking in the streets every where we go gives me the impression that they are heavily populated like Manila.
They are not, there are just more tourists around. Big bus loads go to the same tourist spots every 15 minutes.

We were picked up at the hotel lobby at 9:00 am. We joined a tour group of mostly Filipinos plus two Australians.

First stop is the Jogyesa Buddhist Temple

At first glance, I thought these were bras. Baka kako the women hang them as offerings.

We didn’t go inside the temple na kasi we’ve seen too many temples already.
Dito na lang kami sa labas nag picture-picture.

I was feeling very cold, I went inside a small grocery store three steps away. They have heater.

Mukhang hindi sila mahilig sa kanin (rice) kasi tila isang kilo lang isang supot.

I was attracted to this cow bell. Before I could even convert the price into pesos, Edmund called me, we’re leaving. Bye cow.
