Seoul of Asia

Seoul is hands down the best trip of the year. And i can say that cos i'm not making anymore trips this year. =P

I've come to realise that Asia has alot more to offer than European countries (sorry no offence to european readers if any). Asia is so non-homogenous, one culture is so unique and definitive that it never gets boring.

I was expecting a Japan when i stepped into Seoul, but i was wrong. It doesn't have Japan's perfectionist (anal) culture which makes it more palatable and familiar, but also not as conservative as China. Food is very interesting - the stone pots, the pickles with every meal, the lettuce wrapped barbeques ... People are generally slim and beautiful cos plastic surgery clinics are practically found every 100meters. And the shopping, ohmygawd i wish i had discovered Seoul earlier. It's cheap and good and plentiful! I have to go back to Seoul again once i regain my pre-baby body.

And of course the joy of the trip was hugely attributed to perfect travelling companions who were so much fun. We walked, laughed and ate so so much.


It's quite late to be blogging now so i'll leave more photos till tomorrow. Night!!
