Last week on Sunday we went to the Hilton Hotel Seoul to see the Christmas train that they have set up every year. It’s really large and quite impressive. My son, just shy of 4, really loved it a lot.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you have a great holiday and an even better new year.

It’s Christmas Eve here and we’ll be watching The Santa Claus 2 and eating some chocolate christmas cake with root beer. Now that’s a Christmas tradition.

One of the things that I am looking forward to when I make it back to Canada is cheap gasoline. I know Canadians think that their gasoline prices are expensive, but when you look at prices around the world, prices are cheaper than average.

I don’t drive much in Seoul for a couple of reasons – the insanely crazy driving that goes on here, which is a topic for another post, and the cost of filling up my tank.

Right now in Seoul the price of gasoline is sitting around 1950 won per liter or about cad$1.77 – compare that to prices across Canada right now from this article at CBC.

Last night I took the family out to see Christmas lights. In Korea this is a little different than in Canada as there are very few individual homes and no one decorates the outside of their house. Instead, here, businesses and the city, will put on light displays. We went to the city center and took a lot of pictures.

I also shot some video on my new HD camcorder (Canon Vixia HG20) which once it’s been edited I’ll upload and share here. I’m planning on adding a video blog section to show different areas around the city. That’ll be a little delayed due to being very busy with end of the semester work and client work at the moment.

updating to include a video now (full size HD version here.)

Enjoy the video below.
