On the next chapter of our journey, we went to the National Museum of Korea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got there a little late, so I didn’t get to spend as much time casually reading everything.
I wanted to try and get as many reference photos as I could so I ended up speed-running like a mad woman through as much as the museum as I could get to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was probably the part of the trip where I took the most photos.<\/p>\n\n\n

This was the piece that touched my heart the most. This little sheep, animal guy reminded me of my work. When I saw it, I almost started to cry thinking to myself, “They were making little dudes just like me.”<\/p>\n\n\n

In my college ceramics class, I actually replicated a vase\/jar with this fish motif!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korea is known for their iconic Moon Jar and they had a few in the museum!
Seeing this one made me feel a little bit better about my own vessels given it’s wonky-ness\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n

Of course, they had an absolutely perfect one on display as well\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n

The next day, we hopped onto a Seoul Tour Bus and went around seeing some popular sights of Seoul! We only had enough time to visit one area given the weather, so we chose to visit Seoul Tower\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Photo<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I didn’t know anything about Seoul Tower or the symbolic significance of the Love Locks of Seoul Tower. It really touched my heart seeing all of these declarations of love, friendship, and everlasting connection that we all hope to have and hold.<\/p>\n\n\n

Up in the tower, you could see all around Korea 360 degrees.
On the glass all around the tower, it showed you what direction you were looking towards and the different countries\/cities in those directions.
Of course I had to snap a selfie when I saw Seattle and Denver!<\/p>\n\n\n
