Life in Kanazawa: Musings from the Far East

Bright Lights, Big City!

With a population of over 10 million, Seoul is among the world's largest cities. This means lots of crowding and lots of buildings. As in Tokyo, most of the urban architecture is functionalist. It is not the prettiest city when viewed from a distance, but, as you will see, beauty can be found. For now, though, here are some pictures of Seoul looking the part of a teeming metropolis.



The Samsung building.

The 63 Building, Seoul's tallest. The picture was taken during our cruise down the Han River.



From a park right near our hotel, another impressive tower.
