Mapo Bridge — Attraction in Seoul

Bridges can be on the last item of your must-visit but I made sure that I'm able to go to Mapo Bridge. As someone who can understand and read Hangul (did I really need to say that?), I wanted to see those words and sentences that they've placed at the bridge. Turns out that this bridge is a place where a lot of people have taken their lives, those sentences were placed there to give hope for those who feel hopeless.

Anyway, it's a good place to look at the Han River or Hangang Park despite the number of suicide/ suicide attempts...

I used to jog from one end of the bridge to the other. Really relaxing at night, kind of depressing though. There are signs and sticky notes posted everywhere along the rails, that say things like:(translated) don’t jump, don’t kill yourself, everything will be alright. Just sad to think about all the pressure these young students are under...

Its a bridge, rather average as bridges go. It allowed me to successfully cross the Han river without getting wet or lost or dying even once. Perhaps the addition of a taco truck or ice cream store would have improved the overall experience. Next time I'll try crossing in the opposite direction as i hear its much more...
