Od wycieczki minęło już kilka tygodni...

I took this shot a month ago, and I'm just now getting around to an update.  It was taken with my Canon Powershot A640, which is just over a year old now and finally starting to get some use.  More on the camera later.

The pic above is of "N" Seoul Tower, located at the top of Mt. Nam (Nam-san; 남산) in Central Seoul.  The top of the tower is supposedly the highest point in the city.  Most of the land surrounding the mountain is pretty flat and crammed full with buildings, making for a nice view from here at night.

I'm not the one to come to for historical information, but I could write a bit about the mountain's current significance.  Seoul is the center of a huge metropolis (20 million people live in Seoul and its suburbs).  It's completely packed with buildings, roads, and people, leaving only bits and pieces of nature here and there.  This is one of the big pieces and is easily accessible by bus and foot (cars are blocked at a much lower altitude).  A lot of people walk to the top for exercise, and once you do get to the top, you'll usually find couples, families, and elderly relaxing and enjoying the view.  As with most tourist attractions, there are shops to eat, drink, and relax here, as well as an exhibition if you're lucky.  On one side of the mountain is an asphalt road; on the other is a loooong stairway that many newer couples walk up as one of their first dates.  The boyfriend usually helps his tired girlfriend climb up and thus gains some trust... or something.  Kind of like an ice breaker.  At the bottom of the mountain are tunnels that efficiently connect the Gwanghwamun (광화문)/Seoul Station (Seoul-yeok; 서울역) area to the Gangnam (강남) area.

Wreszcie ułożyłem wszystkie kreski i kropki tak jak chciałem...
