The sunset view from the COEX Inter-Continental Hotel
| Our younger son and I went to Soul in the South Korea on December in 2004. It takes 2 hours by airplain from Tokyo to Soul. Soul is the very near and attractive city for us. |

Mt. Fuji(the highest mountain in Japan)
| The COEX inter-continental Hotel is located in the south area of the Soul city. When we arrived at the hotel, we could look at the vapor trail in the sun-set sky. |

| We ate Korean Beef (Karubi)at the Korean style restaurant near the Hotel. It was very delicious. |

| There are a lot of movie theaters in Soul. We could find some brochures in front of the theaters. |

| The south part of Soul City is the new developed area. There are modern builidings, the big event halls and department stores. A lot of people are working there. |
