63 Building










On Sunday, after Cirque du Soleil, we woke up to a clear blue sky. The rain the night before had settled all the dust and the sky was bright blue (an unusual occurrence in Seoul). Since the visibility was so good, we decided to go to 63 building. It is the tallest building in Seoul and it has an observation level on the top floor. We arrived at the building and got a bit muddled finding our way to the correct elevators but finally we made it to the top. Not only is there a 360 degree view of the city through big windows but there’s an art gallery up there as well. The art display was of Hello Kitty and was very amusing, as you can tell from the photos below. The view of the city was great – we stopped at the little coffee shop to have a drink and made our way down again. We were still hungry so we popped into a bakery on the ground floor and found some delicious looking garlic bread to share, but in true Asian fashion when we bit into it, we realized that it was topped with sugar, really disappointing. As we were driving out the car park, we noticed that the sky had clouded over and we were lucky to get the window of opportunity to go to 63 building on a clear day.
