Day 31: Growing Telephones

I decided to walk around downtown last night, because the weather was so nice and I wanted some fresh air before heading home for dinner. I was looking at the sights around me and thought 'what would make for a good picture?' Then it hit me: a cell phone growing out of the ground. I used to work as an Intern at SK Telecom in their T-Tower, pictured at the left. I actually loved working there, not because the work was terribly interesting, but because the building was rather kick-ass. The shape of the building is supposed to mimic a cell phone, as it bends at the most odd place, and there are also similarly shaped light posts all around the building. Towards the bottom, as you can see just a little, runs one of the longest digitally moving marquees/ ticker in the world, spanning most of the outside of the building, then inside around a large portion of the interior lobby. SK Telecom is the largest cell phone provider in Korea, just a little FYI for y'all. I don't have SK, I have Show; I really don't know why, but oh well. It's an impressive building, and has a pretty bitchin' view when you get higher up. The crappy thing is now they are building these rather large twin towers right in front of it so it won't be as impressive when looked on from the Cheongyechung.
