For those in my home country sweltering through what must be an unbearably hot week, these shots from the Hangang early this morning may help cool you down. We are apparently getting through our coldest winter in 50 years here in Seoul. It was somewhere around -20 when I took these pictures on a very short walk before breakfast.As an aside, things in South Korea are off to an interesting start this year. We have a new president-elect and there is much discussion in the English-language foreign-based media about whether her approach to DPRK/China/Japan will be any different to the incumbent. There is much less discussion about this in the local English-language press. Here is an interesting article from the Economist.
