I recently travelled way up north in Seoul to Visit Dream Forest, one of many parks in Seoul. This one has an Art centre within its grounds and I'd heard about a temporary exhibition of Cecil Beaton's photographs there so I went to check it out. The exhibition has finished now but it was quite good. It was only small but I'd been itching to wander around a gallery for a while, missing the exhibition of Kate Middleton's wedding dress in Buck House and generally the Tate Modern gallery in London so it was a great way to spend the afternoon. I also stayed a couple of hours in the park, reading my book, watching the families relaxing and enjoying the last of Seoul's warm weather for a while. Koreans engage in all sorts of activites in the park so while I was wandering I snapped a few of the things I saw them doing.

| You shouldn't take photos in Art Exhibitions, but I wanted to snap a few of the subjects of this one, I managed to get some before being told not to. The girl in charge didn't make me delete the ones I'd taken so here they are. |
 |
| The observatory looked interesting so I made my way up the check it out. |

| Take Local bus no. 5 from Mia Samgeori station (Light blue line 4), it takes about 5 minutes. Sit on the right side of the bus and keep an eye out of the window for the Park, the stops aren't announced in English. |
 |
| No one takes any notice of which side to stay on. Oh Korea. |
