It was still cold though sunny. Seoul station has been one of our favorite sketching places for its importance as the main railroad station to most of people in nation. It was always crowded with passengers. The new building built on 2003 has many convenient facilities such as big food court, convenience shops and connected to the big outlet. And passengers to go abroad can use Airport Railroad there. Above all passengers can have food seeing the urban scenery through big pane glasses. Of course we, sketchers, have chances to capture those scenes too. I visited there so many times for sketching but I still have lots of objects to draw by moving people and kinds of demonstrations held around the station. 

After lunch time we moved to Seoul city Hall together. I tried to draw skaters who were enjoying cold weather running on ice. It was very funny enough to see them. White ice and dark buildings surrounding the rink looked strong by contrast. 

For the cold weather it was not easy to keep sketching more I moved to the Jeongdong Observatory located nearby the Seoul City Hall. It's loved by citizens for its nice view from 13th floor, where we can see the Deoksugung and surrounding scenery including beautiful Anglican Church of Korea. Having tea in the cafe we had good time sketching together in winter day. Thank you all!
