Market Back in Action (South Korea Debrief)
Skiing in Korea was cut short by the record high temperatures. Refusing to bow to Mother Nature, I charged up the hill the last minute Slushy. Only an extreme fear of extreme shock (no broken bones) report.
For travelers of us to take on my skiing in South Korea:
The strong country. Seoul is much more like a large U.S. city (ie there are open spaces), a large number of cities in East Asia (and sometimes think they are part a conspiracy to hide the sun with masochistic concrete).
Yes, many Koreans eat kimchee at every meal and, of course, because I believe in the premises of how to eat, as well as I. Yes, it is incredibly addictive (mouth watering as I write this post). Yes, it’s very bad things to the depths of the uninitiated (which is not all that watering as I write this post).
Difficult to compare to other ski areas are well known in the afternoon, the conditions of the season, but it is worth the time and is a hell of a good value if you happen to spend time on this side of the world.
Corée time favorite? Watch until the last person, young and old, on the World Championship Baseball Jazz. In the lobby of the hotel, the bus jumbo Trons in the configuration on the slopes, everywhere is that there was a TV screen in the game or repeat ad infinitum (Korea beat Venezuela, Japan battu the USA and play for the championship). A spontaneous eruption would be on the street every time they scored a career (including a rehearsal). Beautiful.
This is where I could rant about how wonderful nationalism which sometimes turns into xenophobia, but only to spread the good mood, so …
It is good to be back to my second home (Taipei). Come back to my first house (the States) in a couple of weeks and go through culture shock again.
