Random Play by Graham Reid

and old men selling those shapeless beige clothes that so many women over 50 seem to take pride in here.

you are surely not referring to the fine Korean unbleached linens when you say 'shapeless beige'?

I personally love those full face sun visors the Korean ladies prefer to keep the summer sun off their skin, very practical and comfortable alternative to a combination of hat and sunglasses. although they somehow just dont look as good on a blonde giantess in tatty denim, which is a fashion crime kind of a shame.

That river development is great in the evening when the lights in the water are turned on and the folk singers come out.

Haha! Those visors are Awesome!

Graham - How long are you in Seoul...I know where you can get some Pumpkin Candy, and you don't even have to go to Ulleong-do!

If I may suggest some future post titles:

We Got More Seoul

Och, sorry. Must. Stop. Now.

What about An Excellent Korea Move?

And don't forget Seouled Out!

Seoul Charge!

Ah, Seoul ...

Erm...

Searching for the Young Seoul Rebels

Hey wow, you're in South Korea?!

Maybe you've headed out again already by now.

If you're coming down to Gwangju, Jeollanamdo, or if you'd like to, let us know if you want a show around.

Ah, Seoul ...

*sigh* and I deliberately didn't go there.

On a phonetically related tangent:
One of the few things I retained from organic chemistry lectures is that there is a class of compounds which contain an arsenic atom in a carbon ring with delocalised bonding. These are -- really! -- known as "aromatic arsols".

I deliberately didn't go there.

(and yep, that was a rare case of Seoul Discretion.)

My briliant Korea!

Seoul Survivor.

Since it started out with a comment on the metro system perhaps...

Seoul Train

Since my K-League team upped and moved to Seoul (thanks to the owners, LG relocating them there from Anyang) we call them...

Seould FC

Sometimes I call them other things that would be inappropriate here.

In the meantime Koreans walk on water...

Hey Graeme, while you are there you couldn't buy a pair of size 13 black shoes that look comfortable enough to play lunch time football in and put them in the post to the provinces could you?

Getting any shoes over size 10 in the rest of Korea is something of a mission- anywhere outside Itaewon they are obsooyo. They don't exist.

yeh there is a lot of those Moses Miracle beaches with the really tidal harbours...

When the American navy ship came down one of their harbours in the 19th century to do some gunboat market entry, instead of been cowed they waited until low tide when all the water went away, walked out and burned it!

oh yeh...while we on it- much less poetical dong is the suffix for suburb here.
