In this posting, I will introduce some images of Seoul.
I hope these will be helpful to them who are interested to visit this city.

I was born and grew up in Seoul, but I leaved this city a long time age and since then I have been living in wandering here and there. So I feel myself somewhat snug but also curious and sometimes unfamiliar when I walking around Seoul.

In Namsan Park, there remain many architectures in 1970's . They reflect the Korean independece movement against japanese imperialism, but in terms of artistic style they reflect also the political and cultural ideology in 1970's South Korea.
