Seoul Travel Diary #1 - Hello Seoul!

Well here I am in sunny Seoul - although the sun doesn't seem to be having much affect in keeping me warm! It's intensely cold for a Brisbane boy, but an amazing city with just so many people! Dang! The Flash Lite instructor course is underway - meeting lots of cool people from all over the place. The hotel I'm staying at is pretty cool (or warm) and is for international travellers. It's a 40min subway ride to the training centre, and man are those subways packed! I couldn't believe how many people got crammed into the carriages, but no one complained or got flustered, just quietly squashed up against the next person and looked down. The Korean people seem very dignified, very quiet and shy, but in a hurry! People are just running everywhere, and walking pace is quite a few clicks more than my normal Aussie stride. Maybe it's all in effort to keep warm when outside? That's all for now ... more thoughts tonight.
