I finally walked up to Namsan Tower (N서울타워). I could have ridden the Namsan Cable Car or a bus to the peak where the Tower is located, but the walk seemed like more fun.

The Canadian I am dating surprised me by having a lock ready to place amongst the Locks of Love. It felt like he was ceremoniously asking for more commitment from me, so I got really nervous and tongue-tied.

The locks hanging on the fences with the keys thrown away are meant to symbolize the couples’ vows to never separate. The boy and I both kept a key for our lock, just in case.
