This was my third visit to South Korea, I always find the people there incredibly friendly to travellers and they will often go out of their way to make sure you get to where you want to go or find what you are looking for.

HDR picture of the night view from the Hyundai Hotel rooftop of the Toegyero Crossroads, Dongdaemun, Seoul, South Korea

I took this HDR picture from the Hyundai Residence Hotel garden rooftop one night around 11pm, it was minus 4 degrees Celsius and a howling wind was threatening to blow me, my tripod and camera over the edge of the building. To say I didn’t want to be there is an understatement, one hour later with blue patchy skin, totally useless numb fingers and a touch of hypothermia I finally withdrew inside to the warmth of the hotel and numerous cups of hot tea.
