Bye Bye Taiwan, Hello Korea

I am now in the domestic airport in Gimpo, Seoul, Korea. Arrived here last night and stayed with my friend in her house. Got such a warm welcome off her parents. Lovely dinner followed by a few bottles of Korean stout (tasted rather like Smithwicks, for you Irish people reading this).

Koreans seem really friendly and enjoy lifre and enjoy a drink. I think I'm gonna like it here.

Heading off to Jeju Island today. Hopefully should be good craic!

Of what I've seen so far, Korea seems definitely more modern and westernised than Taiwan! Kids are fatter too. Maybe too much McDonald's!!
