We said goodbye to Hadabuji and Jangheung on Wednesday morning to take the KTX train back to Seoul. That night in Seoul, we met up with Brian's cousin Kyun and his wife. We had a delicious dinner at a nice French/Italian restaurant and then we took a taxi and a cable car up the steep mountain which overlooks the entire city. Perched on top of the mountain is a very tall tower called, what else, Seoul Tower (you can see a view of the Tower from a distance in the picture taken from our hotel room in the first Korea/Japan trip post). Here are views from the deck up there. There is a chain-link fence along the edge of the viewing deck that is adorned with thousands of locks. The tradition is to bring a lock representing your everlasting love, write the names of you and your loved one on the lock, attach it to the fence, lock it, and then throw the key over the edge. How romantic! Unfortunately we didn't bring a lock.
