Summer nights in Seoul are simply glorious moments. The temperature goes down and beautiful lights are turned on. It's the perfect time to sit back, enjoy the view and the occasional cool breeze and finally take a rest from fanning yourself all day! ^^
It's nice to wait for sundown at Cheonggye Plaza and Gwanghwamun Square. I've talked about an afternoon spent musing about life's ironies at Cheonggyecheon before. You can just imagine how fond I am of this place now that I can't help but mention it again while reminiscing Seoul summer sunsets.
Because I didn't know the exact time for sunset, I waited for some time at the Cheonggyecheon stream. Next time, I would gladly consult the timeanddate website hehehe... Or not~ It's so nice just to hang around the Cheonggye Plaza that it became dark almost before I realized it.
Crossing over to the Gwanghwamun Plaza, I was greeted by the delightful shrieks of young fountain enthusiasts. The brilliant fountain lights just bring out the kid in everyone haha! There is definitely a different vibe in the area at nightfall with all the kids playing and laughing in the water.
I was definitely reluctant to head home... But the thought of a nice relaxing shower after a humid summer day was as equally enticing as these beautiful lights. And quite frankly, I was getting too envious of the refreshing laughter of those kids having a blast at the fountains! Indeed, summer is for those with a guiltless license to be drenched and carefree. It's a season to not think nor care about consequences ^^.
