| Olympic Park, Seoul | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This huge park was made for the Olympics. I explored it 5 times and still never saw everything. The park has Sports Stadiums, canteens, a very big fountain, a large pond with goldfish, so many flags of all countries in the '88 Olympics, monuments, many modern-art sculptures, and even old earthen walls discovered recently but made in prehistoric times. Now there is a subway stop outside. The Park is near Chamshil/Lotte World Mall. There is a great Chili's Restaurant on the way if you walk from the mall. |
