Namsam Tower or N Seoul Tower!


              Namsam Tower is is a communication and observation tower located on Namsan Mountain in central Seoul, South Korea. It marks the highest point in Seoul. It is about 1,574' (480 m).   Whether i am in Itaewon, or Myeondong and places around there and close to Anam, you can still see the Namsam Tower from far  away. Also it at the top top top of a huge Hill! So it really is on a high point so you see it from very far! 

I went the about two fridays ago now with Sjoerd and Lisanee, really on a whim.*Actually its been about 2 months now since im catching up on posts hahah*  We planned on getting ther by around 6pm so we could also see the sunset but we  didn't make it on time. 

After running around not being able to get proper directions on how to get there, or which metro stop was closest; since there are so many places you can see it from. We ended up in itaewon and had to take the bus for like 30 minutes to get to the Tower but the bus took us all the way up by the entrance so that was nice. when we finally got by the hill to the tower it really reminded me of being on the peak tram going to victoria peak in Hong Kong! haha

Here are some pictures:


As we were walking up the hill i took this picture.

when you finally get up hill there are like stores and restaurants and a temple like standing area: 






Lisanne ran up to the top deck to take this picture of me and Sjoerd
So I'm sure many people know about Love Locks, i guess by like landmarks or "romantic" places couples/people write their names on locks and then attach it by that place or Landmark. Seoul/Korea being this "Couple Country" as i like to call it and Apparantely Namsam Tower being a Romatic Site, they had Love Lock Everywhere.!!! Behind me and Sjoerd are some!


Sooo Much Love



This was soo cute it reminded me of that scene in Chronicles of Narnia, i think haha....



It got dark really fast but we were able to get some realy cool pictures.


So beatuiful

Then looking out to all over seoul:






Then it got really dark and the stars came out:









We took a few more pictures before going into the store:







The Souvenir store was also really cool:



I got quite a lot of souvenirs: post cards, buttons, a ring, a replica of the tower :)


Fun night especially since it was so last minute :)
