Seoul Tower


I spent Saturday with none other than Chris Utton (Spud) and Patrick Duce (Yid). We started off with some brunch in the Gangnam area. A rather suspect meal was neatly presented on plastic trays; there was a soup, a sandwich, a basic salad drenched in a creamy sauce and a coffee. It did the trick. We then strolled around Gangnam for 30 minutes, stopping occasionally to take a photograph or ogle at the beauty of the occasional Korean women. A short taxi ride then took us to Itaewon where we played pool and drank beer for an hour. Another short taxi ride took us to The Seoul Tower. This was a genuinely pleasant experience. The cab driver was rather amusing. He had us in fits of laughter as he drove us right up to the tower. The road was getting smaller and smaller and the amount of people walking was growing twice the speed. There we were, three very young and fit chaps getting escorted to the last possible place a car could go - we were so embarrassed that we hid under our hooded jumpers.......
The tower itself is like any over tower in the world. Tall and had great views. I needn't go into too much extra detail. It was a hazy day as you can see from the picture. It was good to finally see the entire layout of Seoul though, being stranded on the ground day in day out, not knowing the plan of the city was getting frustrating..... so worry over!
Then another short taxi ride took us to Yongsan market where Yid purchased himself a Macbook. Then another short taxi ride and we were back in Itaewon. This is where we stayed all night.
A day in Seoul.
