Seoul from above

Yesterday we have decided to visit some "must see" locations of Seoul. First we went to Seoul World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu (FIFA World Cup in 2002).

For me the stadium itself was not so much impressive but still a nice place. From a far distance it looks pretty the same as Warsaw central train station:)

We will definitely go there during a spring time to support the local football team - FC Seoul.
Later we took the subway again to go one more time to Myeong-Dong. This time we wanted to see Seoul from above. Julien recommended a nice restaurant and Kristo was wearing this fancy cover during the meal. After a dinner we went to the bottom station of Nam-San cable car. It is a lift that takes you to the peak of the mountain so you can climb Seoul Tower. It is always crowded here so they push in as many people as possible to each car. It is efficient but you feel like a little fish closed in the can.It was already evening so the city was shining into the dark. Seoul is really big so you can barely see suburbs.
To cut the long story short we grabbed some drinks in Myeong-Dong and we ended up in New Yorker Pub just next to our Campus.
