Tuesday Towers - Pyongyang

In Seoul we went up Seoul Tower for a 360 view over the city.  The population density was amazing.    The windows had directional signs to international cities including Sydney and Pyongyang.  This group of Chinese women spent along time posing for photos and selfies in front of the Pyongyang window.

Japanese and Hats

What is it with Japanese and hats?  They seem to like berets and other hats. At a rooftop bar on Friday night (for a colleague's birthday) the Japanese patrons were all wearing hats.  Maybe it was a theme party or maybe just the trend.

Tuesday Tower - View from Tokyo Tower

Views over Tokyo from the top of Tokyo Tower after the climb last week.

Visit to Korea

This time last week I was in Seoul, Korea on the Grade 12 trip.  A great opportunity to visit another Asian city. We visited two palaces including Gyeongbokgung Palace. It was in a lovely location near some mountains with gardens and a lake and there were several lovely pavilions along with plenty of selfie taking tourists - many in hired "hanbok" the traditional dress of Korea.

State of Being

Two more installations from the Shiota Chiharu exhibition.

Connections

I was at the Mori Tower for an exhibition "The Soul Trembles" by Shiota Chiharu, a Japanese artist based in Berlin, known for her large scale complex installations, performance art/videos and stage design projects.  Some of the most stunning installations consisted of red and black threads strung across entire gallery spaces.

I think the exhibition is scheduled to move to the Queensland Art Gallery so you maybe able to visit when in BrisVegas.

Tuesday Towers - Tokyo

The blog returns!
Back in Tokyo - this view from Mori Tower in Roppongi, looking towards Tokyo Tower (red middle back) shows the expanse and density of central Tokyo.  I visited Roppongi last week for wonderful exhibition at Mori Modern Art Gallery.  The views from the 52nd floor were amazing.
