People may worry about safety issue in Seoul, but I found that Seoul is a sleepless city. Even though the working hours are from 8:30a-6:30p, but it is generally understanding that employee/employers stays late afterwards because there are too much work to do, too many tasks to complete. Korean people are the number one stressful people on earth, even Japanese admits that. They work hard, and work too hard. Most of the time, my friends had to stay in their office past 8pm, sometimes until 10pm, and then come back early in the morning again. There are many many shops on the streets that are open 24 hours for the sleepless group. You can walk on the street at 1am and there will be people walking by (sometimes they can be drunks…). I admit that I like working, or like to be called a “workaholics”, but even to me I think working in Korea is a stressful thing, I wouldn’t want to work like this…My friends told me the average age for men to get married are a little over 30, and for women are somewhere at late 20th. They have to work to a point that they can save enough money for their wedding, and for a new apartment. Because of all these, Korean people eats really fast. They usually get one hour of lunch break (that is usually after 1pm…) but they ate super fast, and usually finish by 15 minutes. Both of my friends are jealous at Chinese working classes, because usually they will get one and half to 2 hours of lunch break plus a nap break.
Sorry that I couldn’t write dairy about this trip, but I took all the pictures that I can and put them on the website (http://www.slide.com/r/ebV-LUz14D8GAQr3YLk27f2uuqvEiiqS?previous_view=lt_embedded_url ) take your time and browse through them. It is my whole trip~ 200 some of them. Hope you like them!!!
