...after check-in and a little bit of a Bear-Nap, it's up to the Executive lounge (actually, we have a choice, there are two!) for Happy Hour! (Which is actually a very happy three hours long!)

My Hilton Diamond status allows me to take breakfast in the lounge, of course, but since this hotel also allows you to take the full Americab Breakfast in the Cilantro Buffet restaurant, that seems to be a better option for a hungry (and still jet-lagged) Bear.

Though I'm not a fan of organised tours per-se, when in a new city for the first time, a city tour does seem to be a good way of getting one's Bear-ings, so this two hour hop-on hop-off service seems to be a good way to get to know where the sights are.

We stopped off the tour bus at the N Seoul Tower - on the top of Namsan Mountain, it is really tall, and gives a great view of the whole of Seoul, and a great place to mount microwave dishes and TV transmitters.

As we arrived, a display of Korean Martial Arts was in progress, how lucky was that? Those pikes really are sharp, as we saw later on!

Now that is lethal and beautiful! Two short swords and a whole new meaning to the phrase "dance of death!"

|
I never knew we Teddy Bears had such a rich historical background!
