63 Tower

This is the 63 Tower on Yeouido Island.
I don't have much to say except that it is one of the biggest buildings in Korea.  (The third largest to be exact.)

There is a small theater, many shops and restaurants, an aquarium, and a wax museum. I especially like this wax museum sample of Einstein.  (It's hard not to love someone who was such a rebel genius.)
I think the real draw is the art museum which happens to be on the 62nd floor.  The art museum was nice.  There was a flower theme when I was there.  I don't know if it was a permanent exhibit or not.  The view from there though was phenomenal.  I have included soem of my pictures here, but it was cloudy the day I went, so I am sure there are better pictures out there. 
Here is a view of the Han River.  Those are boats down there in the river.  Each of those buildings is a huge complex of condos.  I would guess that there are at least 1000 apartments in each of those buildings.  And there are tons of these buildings all throughout Seoul.

I noticed they have a LUSH store there and a Totes Store where I bought an adorable purple polka dot umbrella with UV protection. 

Even though it was cloudy, I had a great afternoon there and have some adorable souvenirs.
