...And then i went to Seoul

Strange that some of you may wonder "why are you going to korea"? Geez, can't a man take a trip without any agenda? Im here only to take a break from bad traffic, bad food, bad manners, pollution, poor hygine and to give my ears a break from Pu Tong Hua (mandarin). And to see if the place is nice enough to move to for my next destination. (Which is not something that will happen soon, so if you're my boss and you're reading....relax!)

Korea has some of the most polite and socially aware people i've met. They're really big on recycling too! At home, you don't just chuck your garbage in a bin or a bag anyway you want to. You need to purchase the town-council's approved garbage bags. This way, people think twice about throwing their stuff away. Paper cups in fast food restaurants are non-existent, they come in washable plastic cups! And while we're at the topic of restaurants, please remember to chuck away your junk on your own, cause everyone does so. And don't rush on the trains when they come, everyone moves away from the door to let others get off first. This is great! If everyone behaves, everyday would be so much nicer!

Anyway, here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure (I've taken some 246 pictures inclusive my stopover in Hong Kong....so this is just a little sample) :
