After the emotionally heavy morning at the DMZ, I was ready to while away the afternoon. To that effect, I wandered around the neighborhood of Hondae, home of Hongik University. The young crowd and boisterous attitude made for a lively walk.

| Beautiful murals in the neighborhood |
Later, I headed up to another location much-favored by Korean TV dramas (or so I hear): the N Seoul Tower. Reached via a long-ish walk or a short cable car ride, it sits atop Namsan mountain at almost 800 feet elevation. The tower itself has an observatory, but since I was reluctant to pay the fee, I enjoyed the still-gorgeous views of the city from the tower base. The slowly setting sun was the perfect backdrop.

| All those addictive TV dramas get broadcast from up here |

| Forget about love locks on bridges... they're now on trees! |

Seoul is a beautiful city!
