Seoul
| Description: | I'm not sure when this picture was taken. I think it was the day I was heading back to Arty after my Jet ride. Eisenhower was in Korea on December 4. The day I took my ride was cold. It was cold up at camp when he visited, but it don't look very cold here.?
Seoul was a shambles when I was there. This was the main thorough fare.
