N Seoul Tower

Cable car in Namsan Tower had an accident few days ago, first accident over 50 years!

We decided to walk up to the tower, from Namsan Library and return to Myeongdong by shuttles.

Without the sun, it was lovely walk and less hot!

This time, since we were with a toddler, tried to visit at the basement where we could find a playground for kids.

Ryan Cheezzzball Adventure was perfect to visit! Adults could have drinks at the cafeteria and kids were enjoying their time with some character’s statues.

Oh no sorry to hear about the cable car accident @KIM19 ! Hopefully nobody got hurt…

Thanks for sharing your photos about Namsan Tower. I actually was there as well when I was visiting Seoul back in 2016. I walked up, but took the cable car down :smiley:

Do you have any more photos of the area? I remember it was a beautiful view, and there were also the fences with the love locks.

yeah, 7 people had slight bruises and they returned home after first aid treatment. But still it was shock for us to get to know the cable car was running manually in this era, in Korea, where everything is automated!!! I have some more beautiful pictures with tower, and some other things but with my friends’ face… so I cannot post them here. please understand.

I wonder what the robot made coffee is like @KIM19

Not very nice is the answer to that question @AdamGT I tried it in Cafe X in San Francisco. Worth it for the experience but that’s about it.

You can see a picture of the store and the robot here

I’ve often wondered about robotbaristas @PaulPavlinovich but I guess like you say, worth it for the experience. But still, it’s interesting that Cafe X Market got a 4.3 out of 112 reviews!!!

I suspect they review it based on experience rather than the coffee @AdamGT which comes out of the same sort of basic coffee machine you’d find at a convenience store or service station. The robot arm makes it fun.

Yes I get that @PaulPavlinovich . Try it once for the fun and then go around the corner to Starbucks and get a “real” coffee.

Starbucks? Real Coffee? Lol @AdamGT if you’re in San Francisco do yourself a favour, avoid Starbucks and find a Blue Bottle Coffee.
