defrogAnd finally, a collection of extra sights in Seoul for yr edification and amusement.
Some explanations for you:
1. A dog guarding a hot pot restaurant in Itaewon (old tourism district).
2. Our bus driver had swords on the dashboard. Because you never know when you might be attacked by bandits after yr piggy bank.
3. Happiness Phantom ... is happy. (One of the many reasons I will always hate Andrew Lloyd Webber.)
4. The Soul Train clothing store in Itaewon. I went in (wouldn’t you?), but they mostly sell hip-hop clothing, which isn’t what I’m into at the moment.
5. Wire-frame bodies near Seoul Tower.
6. I saw a lot of interesting signs in Seoul. Some of them I didn’t get pictures of (like “Human Dental Clinic” and “Broiled Small Intestine Of Cattle Restaurant”). And of course this one (snapped by someone else):
7. A statue from the Bank Of Korea Fountain.
8. A sitting-out area across from Sinchon Station.
9. Another clothing shop in Itaewon, and possibly the creepiest sign in all of Korea.
Right. Well, that’s probably more than enough Seoul for you. Overall, I had a good time, though the DMZ and the food were the only really amazing highlights. I can’t explain it, but Seoul is one of those places where just being there is a bit of a treat. Of course it has its downsides like any other city, but as a visitor I like immersing myself in it and trying to hack through the language barrier.
And so much for Seoul. I have Taiwan pics for you next. But there’s only around four good ones, so don’t worry, they won’t take up much of yr time.
Seoul provider,
This is dF
