After coming back from Korea, our next day was our day trip to USJ. I’ve only been to Tokyo Disney Sea before, so this was my second time visiting a theme park in Japan. I think the only thing I remembered from Disney Sea was the insane amount of time I spent waiting in line.

For our last full day in Korea, we started the morning off at the National Museum of Korea. The permanent exhibition is open to the public free of charge and consists of three floors. It took us the better part of the morning to go through the first and second floor. We decided to break up the visit by having lunch at their food court before going to the third floor.

It was nice seeing all the festive cheer in HK during the holiday season. It definitely felt more like Christmas there than it did in Nagoya. The only downside was that Christmas Day landed on the 15th of the Lunar Calendar, which meant my grandma ate vegetarian the entire day….
