We left the apartment at about 10:30am. A little later than planned, but still lots of time to see the things we wanted to see. But wow...this is such a huge city and we keep on coming across new things that make us realize that you could spend a month here and not see everything you want to.

We left Tokyo after about three days of getting accustomed to the drastic time change and jet lag, and traveled to Seoul, Korea. We arrived after dark so couldn't see as much on the way into the city from Kimpo Airport, but the odors were overwhelming...
- 6 Areas In Seoul Every Shopaholic Should Visit
I always imagined that I would move to Seoul to teach English, travel and somehow still save money. That would have played out so well if only I had stayed away from the shops. In other cities this may not be too difficult. Just steer clear from malls,...
