There was a little kid near me whose family ended up getting two of them! It would have been nice for me to bring one home but alas, they don't pack very well. Sigh!<br /><br />I was SO tempted to get one of the animal breads but ended up not doing so. Truthfully, even if I did, I don't know if I would want to eat it because it was too cute. It would have been weird to bring home an animal bakery roll as a souvenir, right?!?!?<br /><br />It was awesome seeing how well they repurposed the Olympic Park. It reminded me a bit of Central Park in NYC - a haven of greenery in the midst of an enormous city!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-45177344586243349942015-05-28T09:27:53.475-05:002015-05-28T09:27:53.475-05:00Amy, I think you would really enjoy visiting!

If you and Stephen ever got the chance to go to the DMZ, too, you would be blown away at the military presence and all that they do there to serve and protect. I hope you get to go someday!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-53394828273169152672015-05-28T09:27:08.671-05:002015-05-28T09:27:08.671-05:00LOLOLOL at the pun.

I can only imagine the number of man-hours it must have taken to prepare and hang all those lanterns. The animal rolls were so cute that it would have been tough to eat them, I think. =) Thanks!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-35741620276280573902015-05-27T10:04:29.161-05:002015-05-27T10:04:29.161-05:00Those lanterns look AMAZING!

I wonder how the bread there compares to here. It's interesting to try different baked goods around the globe!<br /><br />How cool that they made the Olympic Park in to a, well, park! It's great people use it and that you got your 10 miler in!!!!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-60909482098935370872015-05-24T21:35:30.007-05:002015-05-24T21:35:30.007-05:00Seoul looks beautiful and fabulous and unique!
