These pictures are mostly from the day we went to Seoul tower. The view of the city was taken on the stairs that lead up to the view. The sky was kind of overcast, but the city looked very beautiful from there. I went to Seoul at the beginning of June, so there were still many varieties of flowers in bloom, making the city very colorful everywhere you went. There were even cherry blossom's near Seoul tower. We didn't go up the tower that time, but we went in and looked around the gift-shop, and also at the locket fence. This fence is where lovers take a lock that they buy, write a note on it, or an attached piece of paper, and wish for continued blessings in their relationship. It was interesting to see messages written in many different languages. I think that it was a fun and romantic day date.
The picture of the food posted was taken at a food stall we stopped at before going to the tower. After watching the travel channel, and especially Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, I had always wanted to eat a food stall in Korea. Soojeong treated me to a delicious meal of pork leg and jijimi (almost a pancake like dish with different vegetables and meats in it) and it truly was a dream come true. It's funny, but out of all of my travels within the US, Japan, and Korea, I have found that my favorite restaurants aren't the ones that cost most, but the ones where people take pride and care in cooking whatever they serve. To this day, my favorite place to eat in Matsumoto is the mom and pop like restaurant just down the street from my house.

Seoul Tower! What a fun place to get to. I'm glad you had some street food. You might not know what you're eating, but it's always good.
Seoul Tower was amazing wasn't it? The view from up there is so beautiful! The street food in Korea is wonderful and I have yet to find something that I do not thoroughly enjoy. I hope that you have the chance to go back to Seoul. I will be there before I head back to the States in August.
