Modern Seoul

Modern architecture outside the Co-ex Mall











On rainy days when entering a major store you insert your umbrella in a machine which slips a plastic sleeve around it, avoiding water being dripped throughout the store. Upon leaving an attendant removes it for you. (Can't see that happening at home!!)





The presentation and quality of food in the supermarkets at Galleria and Hyundai department stores was like nothing we have ever seen before.

Paw-paws dressed to the nines!!!!
























The symbol for the Police, at Insadong, shows the love of cartoon like characters















This ancient gate is now the centre of a roundabout
