It's Yahoo's Destination Spotlight today.

Check out how Yahoo presents Seoul to the world:

A sampling:
"I went passing Han River. It was something, although I was a little nonchalance. I yearned to be there, but I had too many dust storms in my head. It supposed to be special.

I drove through the haze, somewhat like streaming the island above the cloud. There were many bridges, those of beautiful colors and plenty in silver. I was glad I had big windows, my private Cinerama. The old ladies walking, the stores opened. Everyone has their own business in such early time. Stripes, blocks, rounds. Letters I don��t understand. I was dizzy for the whole day, and I thought it was only the smell."

A couple of stunning images found there:

Usually, when I see pictures, I really want to visit a city. But, these pictures do not make me want to visit Seoul. Sky looks nice though.

it's pretty obvious they are photoshopped. The same exacts lights are on in the building in both pictures.

[ajgeddes]

Wow, those photos are all really photoshopped. There is a picture of Gwanghwamun with a big modern building behind it.

(Am I missing something)

[Bulsajo]

No. I just didn't look at them closely before posting. As I said, they were in a series of 100 rather dull photos in a flickr slideshow.
Anyhow, the reason for the post was not the pics reall so much as to give everyone an idea of how Yahoo, a rather large web portal, portrays Seoul. something new there for everyone I'd be willing to bet and probably more a few things to make everyone roll their eyes.
