Have I already mentioned that I love the fact that in Korea almost every cafe/sandwich place offers free wifi? Well, as it happens my hotel doesn't have wifi, it's in the "new" city of town (ie it looks very shady but does have those small baseball places that you always see people going to in dramas to practice hitting balls, I have to check out if I can go there... haven't touched a baseball bat since my freshman year of high school), and obviously "new" does not mean "modern". There is a "business center" but hell, I'm too lazy... So yeah, I'm at this place eating kimchi bulgogi and using the interwebs. Ah, Korea, you are amazing! Also Korea, I love your taxi drivers but damn, it's hard communicating. But it is kind of hilarious when eventually they warm up to you and they start talking to you and you can't do much more than just smile and nod once in a while. I mean either they really do enjoy telling strangers their lifestory or they're highly amused by me and therefore feel the need to entrain me. Anyway, here are some photos from my trip to Gimpo airport this morning. Some of the stuff is random and I took photos of some of the kpop-related ads out there. I think there were about seven times more but if I start taking photos of all of them I wouldn't be able to walk more than three hundred meters in an hour. Let's start with my kpop "happy place", SS501. Yes, they're my kpop equivalent of Arashi. Well they were, now there are stories of disbanding, etc. Basically I got into kpop because of HyungJoon (aka Baby aka HJB) and I've stayed ever since. They're not as lulzy and amazing as Arashi but still... when shit hits the fan in kpop (it happens almost every other week these days), SS501 seem untroubled.  And as a bonus you get some random statue. You can take a photo with it. I'm not quite sure what it was though. ( in the metro, walking on the right side, and some sweat to drink ) Right now I'm on Jeju Island and it's incredible the number of flights that land here. My flight was full, large plane too and they have hourly flights. And that's just one company! When you see how many of them fly here (and have "Jeju" in the name), you can only wonder just how much Korean people love flying here. On another note, for the first time today I witnessed the "white man" syndom. Middle of nowhere, another "white" person comes the other way, you feel obliged to acknowledge each other... |
