TRUTH IS A FRIEND..it brings peace of mind and calms the spirit. May we always lived by the truth and in the truth.. And remember no…

Namsan Tower This commonly known as Seoul Tower..and it is one of the landmark in South Korea.. There are two ways to get to the Seoul tower, one by riding the cable car and the other one is by hiking.. there is a walkway you could use but it is tiring, coz Seoul Tower is 236m and was considered as second highest point in Seoul.. Riding a cable car is the best and easy way to reach the tower ..i think the price at that time is 10000won or more or less $10.00 round trip..and…
