On Sunday my son and I traveled to Yongsan to shop for some computer goodies in the big electronics market there. Here is a view of the plaza in front of the market and some of the highrise apartments in Seoul.
We decided to go from Yongsan to Jonggak to visit the Jongno Tower - shown here, and to have supper in the restaurant at the top.This was after indulging in a cutlet meal(shown below) at a little Japanese restaurant at Yongsan station. The meal consisted of pork and chicken cutlet and cold buckwheat noodles in clear broth.
This is the view from the top of the Jongno Tower. On the right of the picture, in the centre, you can see the Cheongggyecheon stream, one of the projects that the current president of Korea, Mr Lee Myun Bak, launched when he was the mayor of Seoul. It really has become a haven of rest and peace for people working in the area, and as we strolled along it we saw many people dabbling their feet in the water and just relaxing with friends and family.
