Itaewon

We were in the mood for an American style breakfast the other day. You know, the really huge, greasy kind. So we went to a place in Itaewon that served breakfast.



French toast, bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs.





Omelet with hash browns. The omelet was huge, but it was stuffed with mostly bell pepper, which I picked out. This made it somewhat more reasonable in size, but it was still huge. (Definitely American sized!)



After a breakfast like that, I needed to walk for a bit.


The fake tree that lights up at night at the Itaewon intersection.




Mural along the wall at Itaewon. The wall is now getting covered by vines now that spring has finally arrived.




Near Itaewon and Yongsan is the Korean War Memorial, which contains lots of planes, tanks, and other military equipment used over the years.





A B-52. My grandfather flew one of these in the Pacific during WWII.




Tanks. Lots and lots of tanks.




A submarine. The sign said 40 people could be accommodated inside of this. They must have been really small.



A drum near the courtyard at the War Memorial.




Cherry blossoms.





Magnolia tree.



This reminds me of the helicopter in M*A*S*H.
