Let’s start this post in reverse chronology. The past few days have seen me exploring around Seoul as well as attending the various networking events organized by the Seoul Promotion Program. There was quite a memorable trip to the Seoul N Tower - Seoul’s version of the KL Tower It was really quite beautiful - I’ll be writing a full post on it later, but here are some previews:

The reception:

Me with some really lovely Korean ladies. Yes, most of them do look pretty damn good. The pop culture samples you’ve seen (eg Wonder Girls, Girls Generation, Hyori Lee, etc) isn’t quite too far off from the reality. I am…shocked. But pleasantly.

A picture at the peak with me, Rebecca, Jin Sook (an SPP representative) as well as a good looking dude from Canada.

Before the trip to the tower, we had dinner by the lakeside -

Awesome view of the lake from the restaurant balcony:

A Korean jazz band played as entertainment. Lead singer was really stunning. Reminded me of a Korean movie I’ve seen where the heroine somehow sings with a jazz group in a bar. Damn I forgot the title though.

The day before that was also another networking night - panorama shot!

Seoul’s night skyline is…surreallistically beautiful.

Malls are heavily populated even late at night:

Lastly here are some interesting Seoul quirks…a special pillow menu at the hotel I was staying, Coex Intercontintal Hotel!

Energy drinks you can’t find anywhere else:

And this last one is…like…wow. I usually smoke Kent, but I guess the only way you can smoke Kent in High Definition is in Korea

More soon! Seoul N Tower really deserves its own post, it will be up too!
