Korea, Seoul : 한강시민공원

En français
For my first evening in Seoul, I took a walk on the side of the 한강 (Han river) in 한강시민공원 (Hangang Simin Park) between 동작대교 (Dongjakdaegyo Bridge) and 반포대교 (Banpodaegyo).
The park offers a view of the river, and a fishing area as well as a island covered with flowers. Near the 반포대교 there is also an artificial island with building illuminated in different colors. I stay there admiring the view until the start of the show on the 반포대교.

Japan : 長瀞川

En français
After visiting the 羊山公園 (Hitsujiyama koen) we took the train to 長瀞町 (Nagatoro). We wanted to take the boat along the 長瀞川 (Nagatorogawa) but we arrived too late as the last boat leaves at 3.30pm. So we walked along the river until the next station instead. It was a very nice and sunny day and the landscape was really beautiful.
