Photos of Seoul, S. Korea. These few pictures can't do Seoul or South Korea justice, but they give a sample view. I had a full day layover in the beautiful Seoul Airport and was able to take a quick day tour of the city. Colorful pictures of a Buddhist temple and the outside of the presidential palace are included. In the little time I had there, it was easy to see the country is clean and orderly with pride in their history and architecture. Even if I don't get to leave the airport, I will gladly fly through Seoul again. The airport is the best I've visited, with pleasing design and amenities like a museum, children's play room, public showers, a TV room, lounge chairs, etc.
