Ah, Seoul

 Like my hat ? (the N Seoul Tower)
 it's cool to wear Converse on your head in Seoul !
 Christianity is popular in South Korea.
This means many shops are closed on Sunday and you can relax a little.
On the other side, devil worshipping and piercings are also not unusual ??

The North Korean border at Dandong

On the Great Wall at Hushan, also called Tiger Mountain
Toilets are very basic -Wouldn't want to visit them in summer !
A close up, but not too close, the pile on the right is full of sweetcorn, yuk !
A China log on my China Blog  ;-)
Beyond the border fence is North Korea
 Hey, no dabbling at the border !
 
 A bar in Dandong
 The Friendship Bridge or Yalu River Broken Bridge at Dandong.
It's only half built on the Chinese side.
 On the bridge we watched a local catching fish from his boat using river birds.
The birds are trained to catch the fish and the fisherman nets both and puts the bird back to work.
Just like the HSBC TV ad !
Sunset from the bridge.
Well worth a day's visit !!
