I recently posted about giving a keynote at the 2017 World Knowledge Forum in Seoul, South Korea. Once that event concluded, I spent a couple extra days exploring this wonderful city. I’m particularly drawn to historical sites and spent most of my time exploring a few of the main palaces within the city. I did not know what to expect as I had never been to Seoul before or spent much time in east Asia, but I can tell you I loved being there. The Korean people especially made my visit truly memorable. They were nothing but sweet and kind to me everywhere I went. I hope you enjoy these photos.

The use of technology in so many ares of life in Seoul is impressive. And everyone is on a cell phone…a lot of the time.
I loved the architecture of the roofs. They placed a lot of emphasis on this part of the buildings.
Liking the details on roof tiles a lot.
