Hwasong Fortress

Today Nate and I went for a little adventure after a fun-filled night of soju and karaoke. We decided to check out the famous Hwasong Fortress. You see, Suwon is the only completely walled in city left in the entire country of South Korea so it has this sweet wall that looks like the Great Wall of China wrapping around the oldest area of the city. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Of course I had to take a signature shot with the color accent feature on my camera...a nice photo of Nate with Suwon skyline in the background. Oh, and that handsome looking shadow in the bottom left is me. 

If you look closely at this sign, you can see many where many big cities around the world are in relation to the Hwasong Fortress. It was nice to see that I am just barely over 11,000 kms away from New York. 

Believe it or not, the blue shirts and plad shorts were not planned. However, it is custom in korea to dress exactly like your boyfriend or girlfriend so I can imagine that many people today may have had the wrong idea about Nate and I. 

As you can see, we are already blending in with the Koreans as we flash our peace signs in all of the pictures. Boy, do they love peace signs here.

One last nice night snapshot of another building at the Hwasong Fortress. 

Stay tuned for some more updates!
