Sparkling Korea - Day 2

The next day, we went to N Seoul Tower. It is a communication tower that was built in 1969.
We had to walk up a gentle slope to reach the tower.

There was a time capsule. It was buried in 1985, the yr the 3 of us were born in. And this time capsule will be opened 500 yrs later. By that time, I dun think even my ash will still be present.




On top of the hill, there were rows and rows of locks. They were actually couple locks. Couples will write their names on the lock and lock it onto the metal bar. The keys will then be thrown downhill. This is to symbolize or rather hope that they will be together forever. Some locks were actually quite nice.





Nice rite...




Next, we by-pass the Presidental Blue House.

We had ginseng chicken for lunch.


We then headed to Yeongju to spend a night in the Korean traditional house, Hanok.


Bought this along the way, juz found the packaging cute. And its PINK!



Our dinner --- quite a spread


Our room.

The hotels that we stayed were all quite high class, except for this. But it was new experience for us. Quite excited abt it. One disadvantage was that the toilet was outside and it was shared among other ppl. And one thing, the light bulb died on me when I was bathing. Luckily I brought dad's touch light with me.
