Good afternoon everybody!
Good afternoon
We just came out of Jamsil Station
and we're right outside of Lotte World Mall.
See that tower?
I don't know if it's visible or not.
That's where the fireworks were the other day
that I made a video about
and that's... what...
5th tallest building in the world...?
Yeah, apparently that's the standing right now.
Yesterday, we were here filming for a project that we're working on
and we noticed that the cherry blossoms are out.
And it just so happens that all these people around us
have also noticed the same thing.
Look at all the people crossing right now
We've reached "cluster fuck" status...
Ok, the crowd is starting to flow
we're able to get down to the park area, down by the lake.
The only downside of today
is the fact that the pollution levels are extremely high.
It's really bad.
It's probably why we can't see blue skies at all
the sky is pretty much the same shade as the cherry blossoms.
That's true.
It's just white against white
Something is a little surreal.
And probably, we shouldn't be out right now.
But you know, people are sacrificing their health to go out and see the cherry blossoms.
The news report said today's air quality in Seoul is exactly the same level as Beijing.
Which is notorious for having complete gray outs of their entire city of how bad it is.
Seems like this is the sweet spot right in front of the swans.
We're in a Mini-Stop and we're looking for some drinks and snacks.
Alright, so we picked up some provisions
We got some Kirin Ichiban beer here
it's the sakura version.
Cheers!
It's just the design, there's no cherry blossom flavor in here or anything.
Nope, it's just a design. hehe
Feels good anyway
Feels official
everything in theme
We've left the lake itself, and we are walking towards Lotte World Tower.
And we actually have a reservation.
-We're going up to the top. -Oh yeah! I'm so excited.
They have all these street food trucks lining the outside here.
Here we are at the lobby of the Lotte World Tower
We're currently in the Lotte World Mall, in the basement level.
And they have some pretty cool stuff here.
And the observatory deck, way at the top of the tower, is called "Seoul Sky."
You can see there are signs that point to it everywhere.
Wow! That column looks very cool.
So we picked up our tickets and we can go up anytime between 6:30pm and 7:00pm.
I reserved this time on purpose, I was hoping to be able to get up in the daylight
and watch the sun set.
We'll see how it goes...
It's time to go
"Thank you, please enjoy."
This attraction actually has metal detectors and X-ray scanners
just like an airport.
Wow, the carpet smells like super new.
Yeah. The pressure, coming up, you could feel your ears kind of popping.
It was really cool they showed the development of Seoul in the elevator.
Oh wow, we're all up in the smog.
You can barely see anything. -Yay!
Yay!
So there's this professional photo thing you can do and take your photo this way.
Going in?
-Yeah. -Let's do it.
-There's so many people! -hahahahaha
You can't tell what's going on.
You can't really see down.
118 floors above Seoul city.
As we mentioned earlier today
this is one of the worst days of pollution.
And of course you can't predict this but you can at least still see the river.
-You want to try it? -Yeah, let's do it.
Here we go.
Wow, look at that.
So you can see nothing right now.
Yeah it's very cloudy.
"1, 2, 3"
Woah...
Oh there's a swan down there.
-It's the swan we saw earlier. -That's the lake we were at.
We were like over there.
Looks like little submarines in the lake.
Oh it does look like that.
That's from the reflection, I think. hehehe
Cause they disappear when I move.
Look, Lotte World!
Holy crap
There's a cafe and stuff up here.
It's a little windy up here.
The feeling of the air is different, though.
Wow
It's really windy over on this side.
Windy!
Oooh, and a little cold too.
Wow
We are now at 496 meters.
Just a few more meters to the top floor
The top~ish floor, I guess.
Here we are, the 123rd floor. This is the top floor.
There was no escalator or elevator, so we just took the stairwell.
The question is can we actually get in.
Is it open?
No. I think they're not ready for it yet.
Awwww
They should have said something.
Imagine if you got stuck.
Oh, there's more. Can we go to the roof?
"Do not go upstair"
Or you will be in despair.
"Do not go upstair"
Alright... well....
At least we tried.
Do you want to walk down every floor on the way down?
You can, I'll take the elevator and meet you downstairs.
Whaaat
hehehe
Ah, can you do the thing where you look down the middle?
and see all the way down?
Yes, you can!
Can you see far, though? I can't.
It's really dark, though, so you can't really tell. But you can.
And that was our Lotte Tower adventure!
