so. now im at the airport. free internet for everyone here wich is very useful. i will upload some pictures to that as soon as im with flo in gold coast. now i have like one hour to enter my flight to sydney and i hope i finally could grab some sleep then. somehow seoul is very loud and bright all the time so i barely didnt sleep since i arrived on sunday noon. yes. im a wreck.

so what about seoul. it is… even more then i expected…. huge. just. huge. and just like i expected it is super hard to navigate around the city. neon lights, colorful and flickering everywhere and i mean EVERYWHERE you go. it is nearly impossible to point out some places to remember and it makes you lose your orientation all the time.  anyway it was a very good and interesting trip. the hostel ive been to is a nice place to stay cause its in a typical part of town. not a tourist part by the way, so i got a little impression of how things might be living there.

so the food…. you could simply eat everywhere. there are small wagons with typical korean food on every street. thousands of them. also unlimited korean restaurants with all sorts of food. its hard to make a decision here. one day i had a super hot chili beef tofu menu served with some sorts of strange vegetables, kimchi and a fish. a fish. with head, uncooked lying in front of me on a plate. i just didnt know what to do. so i left it. but it was a little bit of an awkward situation.

after that and some other traditonal korean food experience i had to to switch to mcdonalds cause my stomach felt a little fucked up. anyway… nice trying out.

it seems that korean really like to sing and to dance and clap their hands and stuff. and they are really really really into popmusic. music and singing and dancing everywhere. at the stores, to attract customers, on the streets, with many live performances and of course, in karaoke bars. i guess for me it was a total overflow of everything, and my head was aching hard after the first two days. the historic temples and palasts in the city were a very welcome place to rest.

after all seoul for four days is just nice if you plan to go shopping and see the inner city. but for me it would have needed some more days to visit some more historical sites and parks. everything was just so far away.

ok. thats it. more to come in a few days. wish me a plaesant flight.

chris.
