Today was the last day Simon was in Korea so he took me to this really nice Italian restaurant for lunch. It was called El Torro. The front of the place was really nice and the outside patio would be a great place to eat, but too bad it's like 100 degrees here!
After I said goodbye to Simon, I met with my friends and went to Myeongdong. It was so busy here and had tons of places to shop and eat. There are always little food places to eat on the sidewalk and people selling cheap knock off merchandise.
I saw the police station as we were walking and took a snapshot of the front entrance.
The girls as we were making our way to Seoul Tower. We ate at this Korean restaurant and the food was so spicy.
These pandas were advertising for Tsingo beer from Japan. Kind of a cool photo op for all the visitors of Myeongdong. 
Me and Hae-in at the end of the street of Myeongdong. Definitely a must see area if you are going to come to Seoul.
We stopped and got some ice cream at this great place at Myeongdong.
We finally made it up the street and got a cab to take us to Seoul tower. I could see the tower from Myeongdong as well.
We took a cable car to the top and could see Seoul at night. It was a great sight with the whole city view.
When we got to the top, there was live music playing. They were actually pretty good.
There was this awesome Pagoda and was lit up beautifully. I had to use flash so that we would show up in the picture, but the picture below shows the amazing colors that were lighting the pagoda.
We decided to sit and take a break. It was a pretty good hike from the cable car to where the tower was. We didn't actually go to the top of the tower, since it cost more again to go to the top. We hit the food market and drank some Heineken. In Korea, you can actually drink beer in public places and walk around everywhere with it.
