Samcheong-dong
Goodbye South Korea! Seoul opened my eyes to how big the world is... how bad Atlanta public transportation is... and how much more there is left to explore.

"Hanok", the traditional Korean house architecture I took these pics in Bukchon Hanok Village, which is preserved to show a 600-year-old urban environment Very beautiful with pine trees

Cheonggyecheon
What I love most about Seoul? Easy. It's the Cheonggyecheon stream.. It's so clean, refreshing and relaxing to just sit there or stroll around. The massive restoration was taken not without controversy, but since opened for public in 2005, it was applauded as one of the most successful urban project in the world. Hard to imagine it used to be a neglected waterway hidden by an overpass. Now it serves as a beautiful public space amidst the bustling city of Seoul..

Gwanghwamun
Midnight encounter with the spotlit soffits of Gwanghwamun Gate, Gyeongbokgung Palace’s main gate and one I have decided to affectionately dub, due to its extraordinary history, “The Gate that Moved”. Deconstructed and displaced as part of Japan’s colonial efforts to demoralise the Korean people, and later altogether destroyed in the Korean War, Gwanghwamun Gate again resides where it once had been, an emerald landmark of painted beams, fanning out like the tail feathers of a great bird.
