N Seoul Tower

After we picked up Mom and Carol from Incheon airport (the international airport), we got settled in a hotel near Gimpo airport (more for domestic travel) because we were going to leave early in the morning for Jeju. Then we took the subway downtown to see N Seoul Tower. I'm not sure what the N stands for; it could stand for Namsan, the name of the mountain that the tower's on, or for north, or who knows what else.

We got lost and had to climb a looong hill, but we finally made it to the cable cars. It was worth it! The views were awesome and you get a sense of just how big Seoul is.

Seoul at night (part of it, anyway!).

Seoul Tower is one of the top tourist highlights of Seoul and is a popular romantic destination. We did see lots of couples, but I'm not sure what's so romantic about crowds, noise, and windows covered in fingerprints. Still, it might not have been romantic, but it was definitely fun! There was even a Korean mariachi band playing--how can you beat that?

Joel was very impressed with the men's restroom--what a view!
