Christmas in Seoul

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas . . . in Seoul. It took the city a little longer to become "Christmafied" than most places in the U.S., but now lights, decorations, singing Santas, and Salvation Army bell-ringers are all over the place. The area around Seoul City Hall is particularly bright these days. An ice rink and nearby stream are surrounded in multi-colored lights in palace-type formation. The display is called "Lucevista" and will be up until January 6. See pictures below.

A popular Korean department store, Shinsegae, is covered in sheets of lights.
