this past weekend i ventured to mount namsan with friends to catch the view of seoul at night from seoul tower. there was a cable car that goes to the top, but 1) we're cheap skates and 2) we all concurred that we could use the exercise. not to mention, there was a gorgeous path along the mountain, which was tunneled by glowing cherry blossoms. at the top, we discovered that the admission fee to the tower was $7, and there was a 35 minute wait. we all opted out (did i say cheap skates?) and decided that the view from the base of the tower was good enough (and it was). the city looks amazing at night, and no doubt even more so on a clearer night. the fence surrounding the tower area is covered w/ padlocks. thousands of lovers visit the tower (kinda like the empire state building), link their two locks together, and then throw the keys over the edge. locking in their love "forever". gag. no, really, it's kind of adorable. why is it that i always find myself in the most romantic spots either by myself or with friends? :)
