Early Expectations Encountered

When we first decided we were going to teach in South Korea in the future (about a year or so before we actually departed) I had loaded a picture of Seoul to my desktop just as a little reminder of something to look forward to. The picture is a cool long exposure night shot of an intersection somewhere (Who KNOWS where?!) in Seoul.

This is the photo:


I never expected to see this sight, or know where it was when I was here. Low and behold though, our home is only a short walk away from this spot. Walking through the city one day we glanced up at this skyscraper and saw "Glass Tower". It was so familiar to me but I had no idea why. We did not make the connection until days later when I happened to be looking at the picture in detail for the umpteenth time.

Here is a picture of the "Glass Tower" from our point of view.


Also interesting, this same intersection is the sight of another connection from home. Uncle Larry, you might recognize this...
