Today was another eventful day. I start
ed my day at 9 a.m. My classmates and I toured KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) an equivalent to the U.S. PBS channel. KBS was huge. They had many different sets and studios. KBS is known as the “voice of Korea” and translates in ten different languages. We visited the different sets and even the prop and costume room.
After leaving KBS, I trekked to the top of a mountain t
o visit Seoul Towers. To get to the actual tower you have to take a ski lift. It was an awesome experience looking down toward the city as I made my way to the top of the mountain. The view from the top of the mountain was so beautiful and serene. The mountain, trees, and skyline was amazing. I can’t believe how pretty everything looked from up
there. It reminded me of something straight from a postcard.
Along with Seoul Towers, I visited the Teddy Bear Museum, which depicts South Korea with bears. As I was leaving the Museum at Seoul Towers, I came across a fence filled with locks. As I walked closer, I realized the locks had little “love” notes written on them. The display was called “lock up your love.” The concept is great. A person is supposed to go to Seoul Towers with a special love interest with a lock and a special written note and put their lock on the fence and “lock up” the love they h
ave for each other. I thought that was a really neat and symbolic way for people to express their love for each other.
I’m really tired, and feel the jet-lag setting in, and it’s only Monday night! Despite my weariness, I am ready to visit one of the Korean newspapers, Chosun Ilbo, tomorrow. I’m sure the days to come will be just as eventful as today.
Stay tuned as I Seoul Search…
