I had a much better experience the second go around in Seoul! We went to the 63rd tower, which is a huge gold skyscraper. The view rivals the N. Seoul Tower, but the 63rd has an art exhibit at the top too. It was a lot of fun, and it is always amazing to see Seoul from that far up.
After that, we headed down to the Seoul City Hall area, where they had an outdoor orchestra playing Beatles songs, the 007 theme (there is a video of my pretending to be James Bond, hoping that doesn't make it to the internet), and Oye Como Va. In fact, the band came to the place we caught dinner after their show so they were pouring in towards the end of our meal. We went to a smaller club where they had a few live shows, reminiscent of Austin.
We took a cab back this time around, and believe it or not it only comes with about a 5.50 fare to get from Seoul back to Incheon, so no waiting for the first train at 5:30 AM anymore!! However, my friend Ryan wants to hit a sauna one of these nights in Seoul and take the first train back one more time, so I think I might join in on that because the saunas are supposed to be pretty cool, and cheap!
Pictures to come soon I promise!
Hey thanks for the shout out for Gabe and I! :) Glad we could make it up!
