This is the third post of South Korea tour, and this was the day I went to two places: downtown Seoul and the famous 63 building, which is in Seoul as well. I went downtown because I wanted to a big book store to buy Super Junior’s CDs and luckily the book store downtown. Since…

Hey readers. This will be my final Perspective post (at least for quite some time), so I thought I’d leave you with something special.
