I have moved to Korea for a year to stave off the inevitable 9 to 5 grind for yet another year. While I am here I hope to learn much about Korea and Korean culture. If you want a glimpse into what life is like here in Korea you are more than welcome to join in my experiences, digitally.

Seoul from the Top

Namsan Tower or Seoul Tower as it is also known is located on Namsan Mountain near the center of Seoul. From the top, nearly 1600 feet above sea level, you can see almost all of Seoul which is quite an impressive view. Many newlyweds come up to the tower and place a lock on one of the railings symbolizing their desire to stay together forever. All of the locks create a spectacular view but not as spectacular as the sprawling city itself. Populating the valley's of the surrounding mountains Seoul is one of the world's megacities with a population of 12.5 million and nearly 25 million with the surrounding areas making it the world's second largest metro area.
