Excuse my blog tardiness. It has been a busy week and everything has been piling up. Last weekend we went to the Seoul zoo to check out some critters. The weather has finally been coming around and it was a gorgeous day for a field trip.
I've been really upset with the way I've seen animals treated in Korea. This includes domestic animals and caged animals. Some of the parks I've visited in Seoul that feature animals have been down right horrific. Thankfully, this wasn't the case at Seoul National Zoo. The park was clean and the animal habitats were pretty spot on.
so beautiful
isn't this the fella from the ninja squirrel youtube video?
not a fan of these bros...bit my finger at a petting zoo when i was 7. instant lifetime grudge.
Some Koreans were thowing food to the bears. Idiots.
a zookeeper was chucking whole chickens and giant slabs of steak to the lions. and they caught them! 10 points!
and just in case someone falls in the lion pit...haha
It was great to see the animals. I didn't see many foreigners and I guess I understand why. We were getting stared at and "ooo, ahhhh"ed at. It didn't bother me though. The vendors had churros so I was pretty much in my element.

Hey Cassie!
ReplyDeleteI'm Bravo's friend from Michigan and my buddy and I will be coming to South Korea in a week (I'll be the one up with him at 3 AM watching the World Cup!). Anyway Bravo gave me a link to your blog, to help prepare for my trip, as I don't quite know what I'm getting into.
Even if you claim it's not your best work, let me just say, you have a career in writing ahead of you to say the least!
I've had a boring last few days of work and, through a little multitasking and possibly some shirking, I've managed to get through the entire blog and I honestly can't wait to to get to Korea now! You painted a great picture of the people, scenery and culture and most importantly it was extremely entertaining. Not only have I been able to plan some cool trips, but I now have a better idea of what to expect.
Anyway, just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write this and encourage you to keep writing this blog as well as in general. I'll probably see you in a little over a week and I can't wait to experience Korea in person!
