Korea .kr        <Jump to Japan page>
Fast observations... Korea has mostly full sized cars and people here are taller versus Japan.  However, Japan
was cleaner and "orderly? precise? by the clock.  I've put some thoughts into a Korea Journal

Landed in Seoul Korea late Friday night.  Took the limousine bus to the Millennium Hilton in Namsan area of Seoul.
There is a casino in our hotel and it is only open to foreigners, hmm wonder what they know?  We went to Namdaemun
market just down the street from our hotel and had a late night snack at one of the street eatery tents there.  The
food was not that great and we should have asked the prices up front.  When the check came he wanted almost $70
for six dishes.  We got him down to $60 but still I think we got ripped off a bit.  Ok, lesson learned ask up front the cost,
even for street food ;)  We are meeting up with Sung Goo, Yum's friend from college and later meeting my childhood
friend Sui from Hawaii.
