Yesterday I went to Seoul to see my friend Peter. We had some lunch, and then ended up deciding to try to go to a "Shamanism Museum" that Peter had told me about before, and which interests me. It wasn't that far – it would have been 3 stops on the subway, but we decided to walk, which was 2-3 km. We skirted the southwestern edge of Bukhansan, the big mountain and park area that rises north of central Seoul, paralleling the line 3 subway, which is the one that comes out to Ilsan, too. It's pretty familiar territory.
We found the museum without difficulty, but it was closed. It seems to keep limited hours, a few weekday mornings only. So.
We talked a lot, anyway, and it was a nice enough walk, as the clouds loomed and the monsoon was about to start. The rain started last night.
Here is a picture of the museum – it's in a very posh neighborhood of rather new high rise apartments.
Here is a nice-looking gazebo amid some trees and greenery nearby. It's nothing old, but it's built in an old style and is quite pleasant.
Maybe I'll try to go back, sometime, when it's open. Then I'd have more to write about.
