A couple views from my hotel. Land is very expensive in Seoul, so they make frequent use of their roofs as outdoor space.
The Seoul Tower picture was the view from my hotel room. They apparently have a restaurant and an observation deck, but I had too little time to go up it. It was a bit hazy, so the views might not have been the greatest.

I vote for abolished.
We should barter skills.
Now, *looking around* what skills have I to offer?
Hmm. Hmmmmm.
Thinking.

Some interesting contrasts between the old and new. It was sometimes difficult to photograph the palaces without getting the modern city in the picture; this time I clearly didn't even try.

Maybe we can get you a lap model. Something tasteful, discreet, less terror-inspiring...in a modest chintz...

I see the palace and wonder what went so drastically wrong that they abandoned elegance for a concrete box. *sigh*

Definitely it was. And all to be approached most carefully, so my way-too-sensitive palate wouldn't be offended; I have a terribly touchy gag reflex.

I see the palace and wonder what went so drastically wrong that they abandoned elegance for a concrete box. *sigh* Yes, but that elegance is *very* costly. Unbelievable just the amount of wood that goes into it, and the paint -- the photos I put up just don't show the bright intricacy of it all.
At least they preserved the buildings, what they had left. The Japanese took very many of them during the 1910(?) - 1945 occupation. It seems that if you lift the upper central beam off the roofline, the whole thing comes apart much like Lincoln Logs (or Legos, to the younger set) so it is very easy to disassemble and move the buildings.
IMHO, the palaces alone are worth a trip to Korea.

A perfect example of a picture being worth one thousand words!
Thanks Sionnsar.
