Lost in Seoul...

Oh it's terrible here when you can't speak/read/understand!!!!!!!

  1. You don't know how to tell the street hawkers to warm up the street snacks you got - taste nasty =66666666
  2. You don't dare to just walk in ANY local restaurant to taste the REAL KOREAN FOOD b/c you don't want to sit down and found out that they don't' have a single pict on the menu (or that they actually have no menu!!) - your best "friend" becomes KFC & 7-11 *SHIT*
  3. You can't enjoy a damn thing when you happened to walk in one BIG bookstore V_V'''
  4. You lost the guts to walk to the Seoul Tower b/c you think it's just a bit too far from your hotel - although from the map indicate it's walkable distance - there's no ROAD sign you can read how you dare to walk too far?!?!
  5. Nor your taxi driver will understand what you're trying to say (well, probably one of the best things is that they've a number to call for free interrupter service if really needed)
  6. You can't really shop after dinner because all department store (at least Lotte) closes at 8:45 (do they know ppl actually work until 7-ish?!?!?!!?!)
  7. You can't bargain any penny with those so real-looking Grade A fake handbags V_V'''

Well, i guess i shouldn't complains all the time.. at least i should be "grateful" that there's always a 7-11 nearby; there's a starbucks just opposite my hotel, they've channel V on TV (i.e. i can have more chance to listen to Lee Hom's Forever! hahaha), and MOST IMPORTANTLY - internet connect from room (well, with additional charges, of course)..... oh, have I mentioned my first snow scene for the last 4 yrs when I just arrived the first morning?

I think it is better in japan. at least u can find a picture in the menu or a food sample around the restaurant(even though a small restaurant)

tourism is not a big industry in korea la. u can buy a new mobile for me la, lg or samsung is ok, but must have radio embedded.
