On Monday we went to Alien Registration and then all around Seoul. We visited Samseong, which is the business side of town. Here we went up into the top floor of the World Trade Center (51st Floor). We later on went to one of the largest Buddhist Temples in Seoul. I will let the pictures tell the story this time!

This is the view from the 51st floor of the World Trade Center. I had to enhace the color of the photo because the city is so poluted it first looked muggy and grey. We rarely see blue skies here in the city.

It was interesting to see the extremely wealthy sporting their style at the temple. It gave the visit a unique twist.
