Seoul, one of the cities I pretty love and enjoy traveling to. Let me tell you the story about why. The moment I started to know more about South Korea was the time in university long time ago. I studied a subject called 'Cultural Studies'. Looking at the name you already know that It's related to somewhere's culture but also related to political issue, social issues... When everyone was talking about they should choose to study about U.S. Me and my best friend chose South Korea as our topic for studying. We loved to be 'special'. Then I learnt a bit Korean for my study and watched many materials about this country for three years study life. Yeah that's why seems like Seoul is so familiar to me sometimes.
除了工作以外，我最常旅行的地方應該是首爾。為什麼我會喜歡這地方？其實是由於大學時代開始接觸韓國的事物。大學時我讀「文化研究」科，而當時教授要求我們選擇研究哪個國家的政治及文化。其他同學選了美國因當時正正是美國大選，但我和好友選了南韓因為當時甚少人了解韓國除了韓劇。之後三年開始讀韓文及慢慢知道更多韓國歷史，當對這個城市了解多了，慢慢有了種親切感。
This time I'm gonna show you the place I really enjoy going in spring and autumn - N Seoul Tower. This time we planned to go during autumn when the weather was still nice and warm at day time. After early lunch we went to ride the Namsan cable car up the Mt. Namsan and walked up to the tower. On the way to the tower after getting off the cable car, I know that stairs were killing me. But It's worth that we could get a bird's eye view from the top. Actually Seoul is really beautiful <3
這次我會介紹N首爾塔，很多人會稱呼它為南山塔。每次上去都會選擇春天或秋天，因為天氣不太熱或冷，而且可以看到樹的顏色轉變，賞心悅目。今次我們一家乘塔纜車登山再步行到南山塔，我們從明洞站出發慢慢步行到纜車站。當下車後仍需要走一段路才可看到南山塔。沿途景色美麗，能鳥瞰首爾的繁華的一面。
After like 30mins slow walk, we took rest in the temple who just next to the tower center. There were so many kids from kindergarten running around with their innocent smiles. The elderly was taking rest there and looking at some people playing music there.
大概慢慢地走了三十分鐘，終於到達塔頂。南山塔旁有一座涼亭，老人家都在那邊乘涼，小朋友則在旁跑跑跳跳，環境舒服得很。
I thought when you have been there, you knew there is a place which is full of padlocks hanging on the tree and the bridge around the tower.
如果你來過南山塔，一定在情人鎖前拍過照甚至掛上愛的鐵鎖。你有留下愛的密碼嗎？
The visitors locked their padlocks with the messages they wrote. They made their wish for love, health, friendship, family and career.
很多遊客在鎖上寫了不同的願望，關於愛情、健康、友情、家庭及工作等。
'사랑해' means 'I love you <3
'사랑해'，我愛你 <3
Next time when you go visit Seoul, you should visit N Seoul Tower except shopping and eating if the weather is nice! My friend said night time also is a good timing to go there and take beautiful pictures crazily. I didn't do it because I was usually in the local restaurant drinking soju (소주) and having my favorite dish Kimchi-buchimgae (김치부침개) with my korean friends haha!
如果你有打算來首爾，一定要來南山塔觀光一下。天氣好的首爾真的很漂亮尤其是很多古時建築物會令人讚嘆不已。我的好友曾跟我說為什麼不晚上才去南山塔，因為很多人都說首爾及南山塔的晚上最漂亮。當然，晚上的我大多數都是在舊式食堂跟韓國朋友喝杯燒酒及吃我愛的泡菜餅啦！
