The Monstrosity of Seoul

On Monday we took a trip back up to Seoul to do a little wandering and to see Seoul Tower. Seoul Tower is located on a a tall mountain/hill in the middle of Seoul. It is a giant tower that you can go up to a circular observatory with windows all the way around the tower. It looks out over the monstrosity that is Seoul. It is so huge it just goes on forever on all sides of you! I've included a few pictures from the tower. If you notice it looks a bit hazy it happens this time of year over here and it is called the yellow dust. I can't remember where it comes from...but it stirs up in the air this season and gives the look of a haze over everything. You better believe I've been sneezing! It was a lot worse when I first got here...it's only a couple times a day now usually. Taylor is still sneezing ALL the time!







This was outside Seoul Tower...it was a nice little area overlooking the city.


Here is Taylor in the area outside Seoul Tower.


This is my artistic skill...although I have to admit I copied a picture that Candace Samford Fesmire had taken when she was in Italy and it was a picture of a building through someone's sunglasses. It looked so cool. This one turned out alright...but not as good as hers on facebook :) I'll have to keep trying with this one...because I think it's a neat idea!
Well, I had high hopes to put some videos on here that I took from Seoul Tower and from Insadong...but after waiting for about 45 minutes...it says it's still loading...so it's a no go. Sorry. I'll see if I can't get them loaded later...I might try my computer and see if it works a bit better than Taylor's.
