one of the old 'gates to the city' near Dongdaemon Stadium, Seoul This was our second trip to Seoul, and this time I was determined to get out of the metropolis and see the DMZ border zone and possibly a national park. Neither of those happened, for some reason. Regardless, it was a nice long weekend out of Taiwan, which is often needed. Speaking of Taiwan, this country (back in ROC now) is a sorry-looking backwater compared with South Korea these days. Once economic competitors, South Korea has left Taiwan -a.k.a. "Taibodia" in the dust. Formosa is literally out of the race. I fear that this place is going the way of the Philippines and Indonesia. Oh well, cha bu doah...
One thing I feel Taiwan still has on Korea is chicks. While there are, without question, some gorgeous women in Seoul, Taipei has got that city licked when it comes to girls.
Two complaints about Seoul: 1. people spit, 2. people litter.
