May 21st: "N" Tower

Formerly known as Seoul Tower, now called Namdaemun Tower, or "N" Tower.  We are meeting a couple from the hall, Hyeung-ae and her husband, Tom.

In the distance, N Tower.

Russel stopped at McD's to get a snack.  Nothing on the menu out of the ordinary.

McD's gives you a laminated menu in English so you can point to what you want.

There's even a Krispy Kreme.  No "Hot" sign.

This looks like something in America.  So we didn't have to climb a street city street, they installed a elevator.

Going up the elevator.

Once we got off the side-of-the road elevator, we got tickets for the Cable Car that takes you to the base of N Tower.

Going up on the Cable Car.

This is the cable car going down, as we went up.

With Tom, Hyueng-ae, our hosts for the day.

We went down the hill to get a burger.

My burger (the closest one) had spicy chili, about $8

Russel had bacon, hash browns and an egg....on his burger.  About $11.

After dinner, we went back up to N Tower to get dessert and a night view of Seoul.

This is Tom taking a picture for some tourists.

To get back to our bus, we went through more shopping.  Koreans are late-nighters.  A benefit to having a safe city.

We didn't get one of these, but I would like to by the end of our trip.  Its a corndog with french fries.  You dip it in ketchup and/or mustard.

Russel stopped for some dumplings on our way to the bus. $3 for 3 dumplings and a side salad.

So proud of his chopsticks ability.

And ice cream. $2
