Seoul

This post is short because of a html script error that was embedded in the original blog post. I had to delete and reload all the images. Uploading and formatting takes a bit of time.

Seoul is a big city. It was clean, orderly, and modern. Many Westerners. More people from the middle east and India than I expected. However, when I flew to Incheon there were several Indians and people from the Middle East on my flight.

I have little big city experience. I have briefly visited New York, Mexico City, Madrid, Paris, Byrne, and Barcelona. My living in Miami does not count as big city experience. Seoul was different than these cities. More clean, more orderly, and for a city of 10-12 million it didn't seem so busy. The latter part probably had to do with my visiting on a Sunday. As the day went on the activity seemed to increase. Korea does seem to be a night culture. I was on the 6:30 bus, so I missed the night.

The bottom most pictures are of a Private Kariokee room. There is a Korean word for this but I don't remember. They are extremely popular. There are also private dvd rooms. A Blockbuster that rents you the dvd, the tv, the suround sound, a couch, and a private room. We went to the Kariokee room after dinner celebrating my Korean Co-Teacher's birthday. Thought you would enjoy that.
