Here is a small list of things I saw and learned in Seoul
1) The Streets and Subways are insanely clean. but don't be surprised to find somebodys meal left on the floor or sprayed on the walls here and there, which leads me to number 2.
2) The Koreans can't hold their liqueur. and no wonder, since Its revolting. But they get drunk in order to get drunk most of the time.
3) Traffic lights for cars do not apply when turning right... it appears you turn right at your own risk.
4) Korean men spit more than a pack of Rabies infected Llamas.
5) You will always see people in a real hurry, trying to reach the subway train on time... even though every 5 minutes a train passes.
6) The T-money Card I was telling you about, doesn't have to be a card... it can come as a small plastic thingy you can attach to your phone, and also some other ways.
7) Playing computer and console games is a social thing. They go out at night, together, to a Pc or PlayStation room and just play together games. it's also really cheap
8) Just like London, if you're going on an escalator, stand on the right side or walk on the left side.
9) Even though they understand you don't understand Korean, they will continue talking to you.
10) Being an elder has its Benefits. Elderly people get a free ride on the subway or buses.
11) Rice has no taste here.
12) the most famous TV Comedian and entertainer is a guy who looks like the exact Korean version of Erez-Tal. He's on every channel, all the time.
13) TV commercials can last up to half an hour.
14) 75% of the dogs here fit to be carried in a bag.
15)Don't try the Kimchi... again...

Hey Gilad, Dhiren here, aren't you feeling sad about leaving Korea? I wander if Japan is going to be cooler? Anyways enjoy it man, you write extremely well... pity about the girl on the subway, your life could have changed forever at that instantaneous moment of time.. just joking man, I'm sure you'll find what you want out of life. Cheers mate, and happy new year!!
The turning right on red is true for the US as well, except when stated otherwise.
Maybe Erez Tal makes an extra fortune as a side-kick. You can never know.
Rice have no taste. The spices inside do something. Marry a polsky, and it remains tasteless. Add salt, it helps.
People who think you do not understand the language will keep using it, but only slower and louder. This is a common treat.
T-Money is also called "electronic wallet". Was tried here. Never succeeded.
This escalator thingie is common in many places in the world. You can guess where it is not...
Being an elder has its own drawbacks too, if you think about it.
It's very convenient you can carry your dog in a bag. It's easier to pack in the supermarket, and still - fit a whole family (small, up to two kids). Tasty too!

I don't know what the guy above me meant, in regards to the rice and the Polish wives. Truely, I don't.
