A couple of days ago (on Tuesday evening to be precise), I recieved a phone call from 진희.
“My father has the day off and wants to go up to Namsan Tower with us if you have time.”
“Alright where should we meet?”
“Come to Jongoro 3ga, my dad will pick us up there.”
So I headed off to Jongro and rendez-voused with my girlfriend, who informed me that her younger sister would be coming along as well.
We found her father standing by his cab and headed off for adventure with her father explaining how very cold it was that day (it was true), and offering cookies and canned coffee and gum to those riding in the cab.
A short while later we arrived at Namsan, where we were going to ride a cable car up to the tower.
After a short way too crowded ride in the cable car we were at the tower. The tower and the view of the city from the tower were quite spectacular at night. One really doesn’t grasp just how large a city is until one can see the entire thing. The only problem is you don’t get to see the entire, inspite of the fact that I took countless pictures. Apparently my camera is like a kindergarten student in that it is deathly afraid of the dark, and any pictures taken under these conditions look like utter crap.
Anyhow after strolling around on the observation deck of the tower for awhile it was time to eat. We headed off in the cab to a 설렁탕 restaurant, and from there I returned to my homestead where I discovered my lack of heat…
