Oh, you want a title do you?

Ok so I've got my camera going again, here's a photo out my window, sadly its incredibly smoggy today, yesterday i could see the mountain range out in the smog, it was awesome.
Anyway here is my view, really is quite spectacular

So today is the Lunar New Year, so i get a day off work, however, absolutely everything is closed, in fact most of Seoul isn't in Seoul, everyone goes to see their families, millions of people just ditch, it's quite cool wandering round the streets and not being constantly bumped into, yesterday was the same, it was t-shirt weather and there was just the right amount of people on the streets.
Given, i had a killer hangover but it was euphoric.
I actually don't remember parts of the night, but it was great, did the Korean version of karaoke, i think its called noruban or something. And somehow at like 2.30 in the morning we stumbled on a korean BBQ place that was open 24 hours, i think there was 8 of us and we all just got inside got the food then spent like an hour in silence scoffing our faces, mm korean bbq, lucky for me i woke up in my bed, i honestly have no idea how but its always a bonus.

Now complete change of topic I'm going to illustrate where i live:

Ok firstly here's a map of Seoul, see the far right Gangdong-gu, thats where i live,i work in a suburb which is below and right of that (not pictured)
Itaewon the foreign district is around yongsan-gu and i'm pretty sure the heart of Seoul is seongdong-gu/jung-gu, don't quote me on it though
Well i hoped you enjoyed your geography lesson, now if you actually want to know anything i suggest you look it up yourself cos i am a poor resource,
For reference i live in Cheonho, Gangdong-gu

And that is all...

Wow, I have a Blogger display name? How did that happen?! Anyway, looks like a stunning view and an interesting city. What are those fancy looking buildings near the left edge of the picture, that group of white buildings?
