Top O' the Tower

 At the top of the tower, every window has the name of a place and the distance to that place from Seoul Tower. I find it very interesting that they are all written in English.

 Hyeon su was born in Busan so I had to take a picture of this window for him.

As I was busy snapping pictures of the city scape out the windows, I hadn't even noticed the shadow. Elizabeth pointed it out and I'm SO glad she did!! I thought this was a very interesting way to see the tower!
The man in the orange in the middle of this picture was doing some kind of martial arts and it was pretty interesting. It didn't turn out too well in the picture, but what I didn't realize that I got a great view of the chimneys! What a happy accident! On the right side are 5 chimneys that were used as beacon signals in the olden times.

 A view of the cable cars from on top of the Tower. Looks pretty harmless, right?

 I told Hyeon su that he needed to pick which "tree" for us to put our locks on and in true fashion, he picked THIS tree!!! Um, yeah, not exactly what I had in mind but he looked awfully cute because he was so proud of himself!!

We finally all agreed to put them on the last tree to the right and hooked them together. It seems like such a silly little thing, but again, I shed a tear. :)

We then had hamburgers, chicken strips and the most delicious french fries in the restaurant on the first floor level. The fries had been tossed with rosemary and were so yummy!! While we were eating, one of the employees was kind of staring at us and nobody could figure out what was happening...until Elizabeth kind of screamed. There was a pigeon that had made its way into the restaurant in search of dropped crumbs. If you ever been around my boys, you know that it could have had a feast! We saw it down a couple fries and then the employee kind of walked it back out of the place. We were all DYING laughing!!!

 This is a much better view of the chimneys. They were enormous, but I suppose they would have to be so that they could be seen for miles around!

 I have refrained from posting any pictures of Elizabeth on the way down. She was a bit green around the edges by the time we got off the cable cars. We walked around and finally found a taxi. The WORST taxi ride of the whole trip. I knew where we were going and was pretty sure we went the wrong way for quite some time! Then we got close to the cafe and he had to pull over and CALL to figure out where we were going. It was NOT fun. We finally made it to the Kitty Cat Cafe...as it is known to the boys!

 I like pink, but this was really almost even too much for me!!! After a quick snack, we took a VERY good taxi ride over to Namdaemun market. It was one of the most overwhelming things EVER. We found most of the other things we were looking for shopping wise so it turned out to be a very beneficial stop!

 We couldn't resist the photo op with the police car!! It was nice that Elizabeth decided to wear her bright orange hoodie today because it made her easy to pick out in the crowd. Hyeon su checking out the Pororo loot we picked up for friends and the beautiful hanbok we bought for a very special little girl at home.
