My recent business trip to Seoul had a few moments of free time to get a few shots of the city. There are three distinct subjects, firstly a bit of street life, secondly a restaurant serving Buddhist Monk food, vegetarian and designed to inhibit the libido! The third subject is one of the royal palaces from the last Korean Dynasty that ended around a hundred years ago.
