Dusk has fallen over Seoul. The mountains have turned from their forest green coloring to a steel gray as they slowly swallow the sun and its orange watercolors from the sky. The air is still heavy with humidity as the buzzing neon signs from nearby businesses light up the night, and laughter rings out from restaurants welcoming dinner patrons.
