SEOUL TO TOKYO

Our final breakfast in Aria at the Westin Josun Hotel.

Had my final Shanghai Soup Dumpling breakfast. Best yet.

Final look outside our hotel window.

Goodbye Westin Josun Seoul.

Taxis in Seoul have foot warming heat.

Don't know what in Seoul.

This is the 63 SQUARE building, when it was first opened in 1985 was the tallest outside of North America, at 819 feet. and was built as a landmark for the 1988 Summer Olympics. Remained as South Korea's tallest until 2003.

The tallest in South Korea is now the Lotte World Tower at 1,821 feet, and 6th in the world.

Seoul air pollution.

I occurred to me that we were passing a lot of bridges over the Han River. I later checked and found that there are 27 of these bridges. So halfway into our ride to the airport I began taking photos.

Other roadside objects.

I was waiting to take a video of what looked like a huge phallic symbol as you drive into Inchon Airport.

It'a gone. It was controversial. Finally, made it to Incheon International Airport.

Asiana plane.

Goodbye Seoul.

Salt ponds. Very fascinating. So much so that I kept getting more photosl

I might add that there is considerable renewable energy potential around Incheon, The tides have a daily amplitude of 34 feet. The 1.320 MW Incheon Tidal Power Station has been proposed, to be as large as a nuclear power plant. Ironically enough, there are various kinds of environmental and NIMBY (not in my backyard) problems.
