I Got Seoul

So I am in Korea, hold on one second I have to say a fond farewell to China so zaijian! Anyway yes, I am in Seoul in South Korea, half way between Shanghai and Hiroshima.

Unlike China, you really have to pay attention here to avoid spending all your money in one go. Cheap places to stay can be found, 9 pounds a night with breakfast and all the time wasting on the internet you can managed thrown in for free. There is also something called a washing machine that can be used for free as well, I will have to investigate that later.

Got to the War memorial and Museum and learn about a lot of history that may have passed you by. Korea was split in a similar fashion to Germany when the USA and Russia took charge after the Japanese surrender at the end of WW2. North Korea later attacked the south and the border between the two shifted up and down as the UN and then China joined in the struggle. Officially the war has never ended a truce having been signed.
