On January 16, Melanie and I flew to Seoul all giddy, like young excitable girls. We had a couple of days before the wedding, so we took a tour of the different districts of the city, sampled some of the local dishes, and snapped away every chance we got. Here are some of the photos I took. Hope you enjoy!
