Here's the Alice in Wonderland themed area in front of a building near Cheonggyechong. I can't remember which building it is, but I'm always fascinated by all the bright colors here. Especially during winter when there isn't much else around.
Here's a piece of art made of car headlights.
A traditional Korean building, sandwiched between two modern buildings.
On this particularly bright, sunny, yet still a bit on the sharply cold side, we headed south towards Namdaemun Market, then to Namsan Mt. Here's part of the wine display at the Hilton Hotel. Yes, that's Meridian. It's not quite the same as the winery in Paso Robles, but at least I know I can get a bottle if I really want one. Anyway, on our way to Namsan, we cheat a bit. We could take the practically straight uphill road to Namsan Park. Or, we could go through the Hilton, entering via the lower level parking garage and taking the elevator to the main lobby.
Once out the front door of the Hilton, the road up to Namsan is straight in front. Here's one of the many view from the road that goes around the mountain, heading towards Haebongchong and Itaewon.
Seoul Tower
One of the statues along the way. There is a library up here, along with a few other facilities.
A phone booth, with a real paper phone book.
Another statue.
View of Seoul
Another view of Seoul further up the road.
Haebongchong heading down to Banporyo, which is the main drag my office is located off of, is pretty much a straight down descent. Let's just say I wouldn't want to have anything more than a glass of wine before trying to go either up or down the street if I lived here. Here as well as in Itaewon, there are houses with decks and stairs and often a pooch or two hanging around.
The kimchi pot gate.
And there ends our walk to Haebongchong. At this point, we dodged a few motorcycles, crossed under the street, and caught the bus home and took a well deserved afternoon nap.
