We had a lazy morning last day in Seoul; planned lots to do but our bodies just didn't respond. More like refused. Finally we just had to forced ourselves to get off from in front of the computers. Since we didn't do go for run or to the gym, I had decided to visit this ancient tomb about 10Km away. We walked. No taxi. No subway.
Walking is the best way to see a city; from the hotel to the destination, we saw changes from one block to another. High end hotels, to car dealerships to wedding chapels, to gov't housing. Seen them all within the 10Km walk. At the end though, we couldn't find the tomb according to the map; we found everything else. A very nice three-tier bike paths on both sides of the Han River. To boot, the paths are all made of the soft material so that the knees don't get hurt; got the cushioning effect. I had no idea where the tomb was. After a 2 hours plus walk under a very hot sun and hot temperature, 30C, we gave up. Took the metro back. A very funny system and kinda chaotic. We managed.
During our walk, two separate groups of people came up to me asking for direction. Did I look like a local? Maybe.
Here are some pictures from our walk.
