For those who are familiar with Seoul, the Namsung Tower, a communication and observation tower located on the Namsun mountain, needs no introduction. It towers imposingly above the city.

At its feet is a park for citizens and tourists alike to enjoy. Here are some of the things we saw and experienced whilst there:

 |
| City View |
This city view gives a very clear representation of the density of Seoul. The white buildings in the background are predominantly high rise flats - the places where most people in Seoul live.

| Locks |
This custom enchanted me. One can buy a lock, include a message and lock the lock to the trees and railings in and around the tower. As can be seen from the picture above, millions, if not billions of people have shared the custom. What makes it so enchanting is that everyone who left a lock there will remember it each time they see the tower above the city. We did not do this, but I did it elsewhere. I will blog it in a future post.
