A visit to Seoul

These are "couple shirts"... pretty cute huh? Couples actually wear them here. There is not a lot of PDA, so I guess this is the way to show off that you are taken.



Seoul Tower from a distance. Most visitors ride the Namsan cable car up the mountain, and then walk to the tower. There is the option to walk if you are up to it.



Before I got on the cable car.



Just before loading the cable car. I was not excited. I have never been on a cable car before because they freak me out. This was my first ride.



View from the cable car.


View from the tower. The smog was preventing a good view, but we could still see all of Seoul. Apparently there is an outside observation deck, but because of the air quality that day they would not let people go outside.



From this point, I am only a mere 11,000 Kilometers to New York. That is about 6,873 miles..... so far from home.

For Alison....

View of Seoul from another angle.



Love Locks. The tower features a section of fence that is completely covered in locks with names on them. You can write a cute a little note with your sweetheart, attach it to the lock, and put it on the fence.



Exactly what it says. It tasted fishy with a peanut butter aftertaste.



A giant churro.



Light show at the tower. I changes to various colors while music plays. And a mist of water sprays from the ground.


Video of the light show....



I heart popcorn.



Seoul tower at night.



A fountain in the middle of Seoul. Not sure what it is... sorry.



MMMG, for Tracy. I found it, but it was late and I didn't go in. I will go back soon for you.



Another light show at a Cheonggyecheon Stream. Koreans seem to love light shows.



Another view of the stream. It is man made. The city built it after a previous river was covered up. The water is pumped in from the Han River. People come to sit and you can even soak your feet in the water.



You can also come to the creek to learn about the Solar System.


Myself and two others at the creek.



'Rise Up Korea' There was a huge religious festival right outside city hall. Tons and tons of people were there promoting prayer...... I took a video.



This is what you will get if you hang your trash from the hall banister in my building. I don't know what it says, but I don't think it is a nice note.



Some of my kids. I tried to catch them with their masks on, but they didn't like that so much. I am not exactly sure whose bottom is up in the air, but least she is wearing safety shorts under her dress. At least, I hope that is what she is wearing.
