Seoul Tower

Saturday, sight-seeing seemed to be in order again and this time it meant Seoul tower, the tallest point in downtown Seoul, on a little hill in a little park right in the center of a huge city. Sadly, as so often, the view was obscured by haze in the distance despite perfectly blue, cloudless skies. Also gives us a good reason to return, however. Nonetheless looking down on a mega city of over twenty million in habitants in the area is an impressive sight. The variety of buildings from little shacks, to multi-storey residential buildings, massive malls, classy hotels and high-tech skyescrapers is fascinating. We stayed until sunset and hiking down from the tower back to the metro got to see a beautiful red sun shedding its fading light onto the countless buildings of a greyish metropolis.
