Have already written a few pages of observations..mostly sarcastic of course, but have been having fun trying out this fancy toilet in my room (will send a copy of my blog when I can type it fully in PP). 

Managed a wander around the small streets of central Seoul last night with a British "actor" and we stumbled into a Kareoke bar much like the ones in Cambodia..only high class.  All individual rooms for small private parties where they ply you with a better quality of alcohol so you can sing sad love songs until you cry on someones shoulder!  Had a very strong cocktail in a swish bar full of Korean men only.  Misogynistic (sp?) bunch here, who dont make eye contact very often and never smile.
 
Am using free internet in hotel lobby as Blackberry isnt working, which means I have to be brief as others may be waiting.  back to the coffee shop across the road to write more.  Have already explored the streets again this morning.  Korea is modern and reminds others here of Japan.  Would have to escape the city to find something more indigenous I believe.
