This picture was taken from the Seoul tower. In the heart of downtown, however things look much more colorful.
Streets are narrow and banners abound.
Not many people are out on the streets in the morning, but late at night it is a different story. Families with children, women alone and with friends are out in a perfectly safe crowded city. It is an arcade gave that puts feet positions on the screen, and plays music while the person playing tries to mimic the correct foot placement in the correct timing. The young people in Seoul were very good at it. We, however, were not as skilled.
