Treated to friendly roadside crowds and an elaborate welcome, President Barack Obama sped into the last round of his diplomacy tour in Asia on Thursday, a visit in South Korea.
Obama joined President Lee Myung-bak at the Blue House, South Korea's version of the White House, where the US leader took in spectacular views of the hills of Seoul on a chilly, grey morning. Obama stood on red-carpeted steps and looked out on military regiments in colorful garb and flag-waving children.
The leaders walked down to the sprawling manicured lawn, taking in the pageantry as Obama shook hands. It was symbolic of America's ever-improving relations with South Korea, a crucial Asian ally.
"This was the most spectacular ceremony for a state visit we have been involved with," Obama gushed as the two leaders began their meetings. Said Lee of Obama's Asia trip: "You saved the best for last."
