It was another rainy day, so I decided to do some indoor activities.  I went to Korean National Museum in Icheon.  This museum is pretty big.  I spent about 5 hours there, but still couldn't see everything.  I might have to go there again before I leave Korea.  They had lots of artifacts from 3 dynasties and international artifacts, and buddha statues, etc.  At the end of the tour, I stopped by museum gift shop ( since no museum tour is complete without stopping by gift shop), and purchased gifts for kids, nothing fancy, just notebooks and a pen and a fan.  Whiling touring the museum, I got hungry, so I stopped at Korean restaurant (that's the name of the restaurant) inside museum, and ordered Andong Mackerel meal.  I was so hungry that I ate every bit of meat left on the mackerel. After 5 hours of tour, I decided to head back to my hotel.  When I left the museum, I was able to avoid rush hour, but subway was still very crowded.  Fortunately, it stopped raining when I was heading toward the subway and when I got out of subway station.  I'll definately go back there to finish looking at Buddha exhibits.
