Day 12; Stay... don't gooo!



After waking up in a bed surrounded by (fake, ok) flowers, in the middle of a (painted) fantasy forest (I'll post some pictures of that, soon), every other motel seems.. crappy. Man, do we get spoiled easily.
And so I woke up, way too late, after way too little sleep, to realize it was my last day in Seoul. I don't know if it's just me, but as usual I got used to being in this foreign country pretty fast, and I really, really didn't want to go back to rainy Holland just yet. But yeah, what do you do, apart from deciding to come back to Seoul, soon.

After the disappointment of an already closed
Seoul Tower the night before (so, no placing the symbolical lock there, but still granted with a pretty view of Seoul by night), we went to Hwaseon Fortress in Suwon, a 'small' town close to Seoul, accompanied by perfect weather ending in a beautiful sunset behind the great mountains this country is blessed with. Dinner confirmed my enthusiasm for the Korean kitchen once again, and followed by an emotional and sleepless night, this last day left me really, really sad to have to leave this country already...
