In Seoul, there is quite a variety of architectural styles, from Oriental to European to Revival to Contemporary. I think that this picture gives a good taste of the randomness.
Summer and I pose for a picture in front of a convenience store.
This is the fountain at Seoul Station. It wasn't running (because it had been raining), but it still has some very nice adornments in the "Heroes of our Country" style that I saw so much in Russia.
This is a nice photo of the cleavage building, which is also at Seoul Station.(Update: Thanks to Jon Allen for pointing out that this is the new post office building. Jon has a great blog which you can check out here. Lift and seperate Jon, lift and seperate.)
The next three photos are of a fountain outside of Dongdemun, which is the building on the left in the picture. It is a very, very large building and stretches for several city blocks, which you can kind of see. The fountain is actually in a stream, and it changes colors as it shoots up in the air. There are walkways all the way down the stream and there are seats along these walkways where people can sit and watch the fountain. Of course, there is a man with a baton to keep people from going in and enjoying themselves.
To get home from Dongdemun, we took the last subway trip of the night. There was a young man resting his eyes on the subway and he kept dropping things, including his phone and wallet, which I and others would just stick back into his pockets or hands. The man to his left just kept reading the paper and pretending that he wasn't there. A good end to a good night.
