Genevieve: I might have mentioned that we went on short trip to Korea in November to renew our visas. You can only be in Japan for 90 days on a tourist visa, and since we were unable to arrange anything different before we left we had to make the trip. Seoul, Korea is only an hour and a half flight from Haneda Airport in Tokyo, so the trip was quite painless. In fact, it was quite enjoyable!
Walter’s company put us up in a really nice hotel on the top floor in a very fancy 2-floor suite! Among other things, the room had a huge jacuzzi and lots of fresh fruit (see pic of Kenji with nashi (Asian pear).
Seoul is really interesting with tons of great food, interesting shopping (we went to the famous shopping street Insadong), and warm people. Although we were there for only 2 days, we really had a fun time. I would love return again for longer next time!
