Flying over Himalaya!! Wow we were at 36000 feet...
After Japan obviously you must see Korea! So i got Seoul as well...lucky?! hahaha yeah i guess so.
Seoul, one of the crowdest city in the world...is true! But also its skyline is cool as well. Namsam tower located on the mountain close to Itaewon (clubbing area). The way going to Seoul was less than 8 hours (can't believe it was so quick) but the way back took almost 10 hours though! 9 out of 16 crews were Koreans!!! So basically I felt like i worked for Korean Air...lol how funny is that.
The hotel was quite nice and the subway system is just so complicated to me...from the hotel to Itaewon we spent almost an hour because had to change 2 lines of subway...but is cheaper taking subway than taking a cab. We had the best allowance in Emirates 170300 won (iguals to 170 USD) for 30 hours layover including 2 diners, 1 breakfast and 1 lunch!!! With that money i covered my meals and gifts and still $34 left for my wallet! Good deal hey!
Gyeongbok Palace, you can't skip it! It is a historic and memorial palace where you can see how Korean culture was created and some similarity with Chinese culture, in fact, either Japan or Korea was influenced by Chinese culture, was founded by chinese more than thousands years ago. But i can tell the physical difference between a japanese and a korean... :-D
Seoul is quite expensive though if you don't care enough money with you...talking about food..."kim chi" is their typical and traditional entrees, for me the spicy level was overwhelming!!! so RED and so much garlic...i still love taiwanese kim chi (we call it "Pau Chai" in mandarin) it is mild spicy and taste better not too garlicky.
I had a great time with a libanese crew because we went out together and most importantly we took photos to each other...that's what crews are for!? :-P
