Observations


 So, since Seoul is a million miles away from the Buckeye State things are a little different here...
1. The subways are cleaner than my house.
2. Some doors don't have handles...you just push a button and magically they slide open.
3. People carry umbrellas to block the sun.
4. Their toilets are more advanced than the Ipad. (correction: SOME toilets. Others are sort of a hole in the ground - proof seen below)


5. Koreans love to throw up the peace sign whenever there is a photo op (See exhibit A below)

6. Most men don't hold doors open for women nor do they let them go first.
7. Everybody dresses better than me. Seoul people are fashionistas!
8. A public garbage can sighting is equivalent to a bigfoot or chupacabra sighting...they're rare....magically there is not much litter.
9. Snail cream is the secret to youth in these parts.

10. Some bathroom require you take off your shoes and instead wear croc like creatures on your feet.


And finally....I have been bowing at people for a week and I am wondering how long that is going to take to get out of the habit.

  1. I remain boggled by the fact that there are no trash cans to be found, but the city is so clean. How do they do it?
