Wolmido Boat Cruise

We got to go to Incheon to ride the Wolmido Boat Cruise. I wanted to go to this instead of the DMZ because there would be performances during the cruise, specifically dancing. And I thought it'd be something more birthday-ey for Rick's birthday fun thing. We paid $25 each to ride the bus down there with MWR. When we got there we realized the subway goes there for about $3 each. We also had to get up super early to catch the bus. Oh well! If we ever want to go back, we'll know how to get there. We made the most of it while there!
This is at the top of some stairs in the park. These faces were on different posts. I just wonder, did the city draw these or some random artist? Kind of...different. Rick tried to imitate one.
Come eat here...you can see what you're going to eat while it's still swimming around. An interesting marketing idea. Koreans do seem super healthy and it's probably in part due to how much seafood they eat. What is up with Americans having to eat beef and chicken?
General MacArthur's statue. He landed here and saved the area (that's paraphrasing :)
Rick got a little carried away trying to be like all the smokers we see. Luckily it wasn't lit.
Us by the Chinatown gate. It was cold so I'm wearing Rick's sweatshirt. This picture was taken right after we bought some fruit at a little store. I was trying to ask the lady how much for the strawberries but I don't think she wanted to deal with me because she kept waving her hand like no, go away. Okay...

This video below is hilarious! When we first got on the boat we thought this would be the room where the show was. It turned out to be one huge dance party with lots of older people! I'm talking grandmas and grandpas throwing down a beat to techno music. In fact, Rick and I just sat there for the longest time watching until an older lady pulled me onto the dance floor!


We finally did find the performances and they were Las Vegas-ish, meaning not very much clothing on the girls and fairly cheesy. So the whole day was a little different than we imagined but we had a fun time overall. Now we just have to get to the DMZ.
