Seoul

I came up to Seoul by bus from Busan on the night of September 17, 2024. After a day along the border in Paju, I spent September 19 wandering the city: brunch and the hanok lanes of Bukchon, then N Seoul Tower on Namsan, for the view over the city and the Han River, and the crowds of Myeongdong that evening. On the twentieth, I went to the War Memorial of Korea, in Yongsan, and then it rained for the rest of the day and into the night. On the morning of September 21, I watched the changing of the royal guard at Daehanmun, the main gate of Deoksugung Palace, before walking through the palace grounds. My next stop was a layover in Taipei, Taiwan, on the way home.
