Namsan Tower

Namsan Tower -- Located in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea. It is actually not really high, but since the location in quite at the top of a hill then if you go inside you can see the landscape of Seoul.

Those are the landscape of Seoul captured from inside Namsan Tower. It is very impressive, I have also been to Hancock Tower in Chicago and Empire State Building in New York City which also provide the landscape of Chicago and New York City. From all of them, I honestly like landscape of Chicago the most. Maybe because it was at night and the city light was very beautiful.

Hanbok Experience

안녕하세요~~~ Old days, people used to greet other people by saying 안녕하세요 [ Annyonghaseyo ] and bow a little bit. For guys, left hand is over the right hand, vice versa for the girls. You put your hands on your belly and bow and then you say 안녕하세요~~~.

People in Korea don't do that nowadays, though. They just say 안녕하세요 and maybe bend a little bit. I also learnt how people bow to the elder to respect them in the house. There are two types of bowing but I am terribly sorry I forget what are they called. And the bowing for the guys and the girls is different. I have the video of one of 2 types of bowing for girl. We also wearing Hanbok, the traditional clothes of Korea. What interesting is that from how they do the hair, from what dress are they wearing, I could know how important they are, do they have children or not, are they married, are they single, are they students, etc. Interesting~~
