In downtown Seoul… This city is huge!!!
Posted by Mr. O on November 25, 2009
My thoughts while exploring this wonderful city:
1. For being such a young country (1954) they really have a lot of pride and a culture built on respect.
2. I think that people in Korea value freedom much more than we do in America… Maybe because they fought for it themselves. I know we fought for our freedom, but no one is still living from that war. Many Koreans pre-date their war for independence.
3. Kids are kids no matter where you are… One thing that Korean kids have that many American kids don’t, a sense of pride and respect for education and authority.
4. There is a sense of unity amongst Koreans… In America I think we pride ourselves more on our heritage rather than our current affliations… Heritage is important, but does it outweigh being a citizen of the Unites States of America?

Eric, things are great and wow what a list of questions…Haven’t had dog yet, but I think I’m going to try it soon. They have Kia’s and hyundai’s here, also a few BMWs, Mercedes, and some cars only in Korea like Premier and Samsung. They food is all great, and restaurants are really different. No Wal-marts, but they have Home Plus which is pretty much the same thing. They do have Burger King, McDonalds, TGIFs, and a lot of other American restaurants. Yeah I have a few souvenirs, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to get one…see ya soon!
