While we were in Nampo-dong, which we mentioned in our last blog post, we decided to "climb" a hill to check out Busan Tower.

| "Climbing" the hill. Only 2/3 of the escalators were working. |
Supposedly there are great views of the city from the Tower (on clear days) and it is supposed to be worth the money it costs to go up it. Of course we went on a smoggy day so decided not to venture up the tower that day.
While wandering around the tower we noticed locks, hearts and even broken hearts strung along the fence. While we don't read Korean, we were able to imagine the gist of the hearts on the fence. Star crossed lovers would profess their love on the hearts and lock it to the fence for ETERNITY...well maybe not eternity, but that is how Kendra imagined it.
Some hearts were broken, and since the couples throw the keys into the river, there is no way to remove your lock in case your relationship does not turn out, so miserable exes will go on their own and break the heart.
Since we have been together for 4 whole years we decided it was time to publicly profess our love in an artistic way, so we found the shop to buy our own hearts and a cute lock with Paul's future dog on it. We wrote our messages, read them to each other and locked them on the fence.
After locking them on the fence I (Kendra) did not like the way they looked so we unlocked it and made it look aesthetically pleasing.

So in case anyone is wondering, we are not engaged, we are not getting married, we are just loving our time with each other in Korea with all of the adventures we have planned.
