diga Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Do they really eat dogs in South Korea? Not sure about that.. but my friend in Chennai tells me its hard to find a stray dog around the Hyundai factory
EnterTheVoid Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 The following shows just how technologically advanced Seoul is. I order a coffee at a coffee shop. Whilst I wait, I am given this iPOD of sorts to keep me occupied. Once the coffee is done, the device starts beeping and vibrating to inform me the coffee is done. Minimum fuss, maximum results. Absolutely astounding.
maniac Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Left completely speechless. Sree...How are the electronic gadgets there?I mean I had a cousin who visited Japan/South Korea from U.S a few years back and was just amazed at some of the gizmos and how technologically advanced they were

Absolutely astounding. There is a similar feature here in some Panera Bread's here.

Just have a look at how many big screen TV's there are: You can watch Full HD movies online whilst riding the underground subways. They are a good 20 - 30 years ahead of everyone else. Is that a guy or girl Guy.
EnterTheVoid Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 Reading the subway maps manually can be a little challenging at first. If you got a smart phone, just follow the dots, cannot get any simpler. Notice that the destination station is called "Gangnam". That is the Gangnam area from the song "Gangnam Style".
EnterTheVoid Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 On an interesting note, vodka is cheaper than water there. No kidding.
monki24 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 What a great sculpture of the two halves... Speaks volumes. What motivated u to make this visit? Very curious.
Mariyam Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Great stuff Sree. Loved reading your travelogue. :hatsoff: How widely is English spoken there?
EnterTheVoid Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 Little to none. I went prepared for that eventuality, didn't find it too difficult to get around.
maniac Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Little to none. I went prepared for that eventuality, didn't find it too difficult to get around. You should have tried to use some lyrics from Gangnam Style to try and communicate :giggle: How big is it there....I know it's 6-9 months too passe but can't overlook the cultural impact it had putting Korean music on the map
