Well, I didn't do well this time around in terms of photos, but I had a good time. Distractions can be distracting.
This is where the smokers congregate at Lotte world
Shoe shine before going out at the Hyundai Department store
Just some snaps from around where I stayed. I'm slowly losing the battle to find the will to take pictures on this trip.
Some ajemahs tending to the plants of this office building.
The speed limit
Office building courtyard.
An office building emerges out of what looks like a park. This area infront of it actually floods when the river overflows by design. Instead of leaving it bare, they decided to give it a dual purpose. Pretty clever.
Pangyo is a tech city that looks like it grew overnight.
People like to abandon things in this river.
Somebody is excited about construction
An opportunity to return to Seoul revealed itself as part of a business trip. Not as many pictures as I would have liked, but it was better than nothing.
Stayed in Pangyo for the business part, the silicon valley of Seoul.

Food truck
Business meeting
As you can tell by now, I didn't get a whole lot accomplished in Seoul photo wise. Family stuff can do that to you. All the more reason to come back though.
The quintessential Seoul portrait
"Does this make me look fat?"
In the odd chance that I ever get a whiskey bar up and running it helps to see how others are doing it. While I still feel that Japan still does the particular type of bar I enjoy best, Seoul is getting close. The Bing soo is there because I love bing soo. Notable mentions include the following: Vault 82, B28 Seoul, and The Factory
First some solung tang
The river walk (Cheonggyecheon river) is a fine example of urban planning that by day serves as a popular tourist spot and by night becomes a haven for couples
This one missed the memo
That's more like it
Halfway through the walk one can always grab something to eat at Gwangjang night market. The ajemahs that work and eat here are stone cold killers
"I didn't order that"
"Yeah you did. Eat this kimbap too"
"If you're not too busy Friday..."
"Don't even think about it"
No men allowed
Don't remember anymore what I did this day. But I apparently had delicious fried chicken
The view from my uncle's balcony
There is an art to sleeping on the train. This one is a grandmaster
Crowded market
Lots of shoes
Shopping works up an appetite. Braised pig's feet
I did a short hike up over where the president's residence is. Took some pics along the way.
Korean Bansky?
I liked the patterns on this wall
Everything about Seoul is about being a couple
Youngest fan
Them heels
Not much to see here. Sadly Osaka was the photo-death of me.
Caught the sunset on the way to meet the family

Time to leave Japan and head for Seoul
Up in the air
Attention cabin crew, prepare for arrival. My first sight of land, I felt the unexpected feeling of being home
