DAY 188 SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 29 THE SWANS!

We planned to use our Pass to go to Jecheon today, so we went to Seoul Station to try our luck in getting tickets.  At the travel centre  we were offered tickets to come back to Seoul, but to get there we would need to show our pass and stand all the way, as there were no unbooked seats. The Central Station was full of people waiting for trains, many of them carrying special boxes with celebratory cakes.  It was a happy atmosphere as these people had grown up with Choseuk and enjoyed it.
We walked around the town for an hour but found most things closed. There was an interesting tiled mural on the wall at Seoul Metro Station.

History of transport in Korea.  We passed a Presbyterian Church.

There was a group of a couple of hundred cyclists going down the main street in a group.

We caught the trains back to Yeoksam and had lunch at the Italian Cafe opposite our hotel.
Settled back in our room in front of the big TV and watched the best AFL Grand Final yet.  Now that Sydney has won Melbourne's number one sport, maybe Melbourne will win Sydney's number one sport tomorrow.  It was amazing to see so many Swans supporters turn up at the MCG.
