Seoul-1

I didn't stay in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, for long. I arrived on the 11th of February and left on the 14th. So, as you might have guessed, I didn't have time for much. But I got to see a bit of the city.
Seoul, like Tokyo, is quite a modern city, with a lot of big buildings and high-tech stuff.
I took the metro from my hostel to the Gangnam district (famous thanks to a certain song), where I got to see shops, buildings, parks, and the Kukkiwon (the World Taekwondo Headquarters). From there, I walked all the way to the Han River, and later visited the Bukcheon Hanok Village, a traditional village filled with traditional Korean houses, the Hanok. I also saw a stream close to the hostel, the Cheonggyecheon stream.
