OCT 24, 18 .. SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA .. THE METRO

I remain amazed at the reality that is Seoul, South Korea!

I don't know what I was expecting here in Seoul. 

All I can say is this : Seoul is in the Hong Kong Class of major cities.

Here are a few photos that I snapped here on the Seoul Metro.

Here we go, walking to the Seoul Metro from Terry and Kathy's flat.

There you have it. The Seoul Metro is in the Hong Kong Metro Class of excellence.

Amazing. Spotless and clean. All the riders on my outing were extremely well behaved.

OCT 22, 18 .. due cose - ITALIAN PIZZA AND PASTA ..

due cose .. ITALIAN PIZZA AND PASTA ..

I certainly have never heard of a restaurant named due cose. How about any of you reading along here? Loosely translated it means two things. OK. Pizza and Pasta. Two things. Makes (ah sort of ) sense no?

Just in case you want to visit due cose on your next trip here to Seoul, South Korea, below is their address.

72-1 Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

Onward. Before we all went to our meeting last night, we ate dinner here at due cose.

Notice that due cose is spelled in lower case letters.

due cose .. Two things .. Pizza and Pasta. 

Tre Cose .. Three Things .. Pizza, Pasta and Salads.

On the left, Peter from Canada. On the right, Oldokh from Mongolia.

Our dinner was enjoyable and fun.

Seoul is really a bit of a WOWIE.

OCT 21, 18 .. THE HAMILTON HOTEL .. SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

Here in Seoul, South Korea, there are various Districts that, together, make-up the greater metropolitan Seoul area.

One of these Districts is called the Itaewon District.

The greater Itaewon District, at least as I understand it, is especially noted for being a bit-of-a-haven for foreign tourists. This means there are a lot of touristy venues including some 'night life' action.

Within the Itaewon District is an iconic and famous hotel named the Hamilton Hotel Seoul. All you have to tell a taxi driver is that you want to go to the Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon and the driver will know where to take you.

Its address is : 179 Itaewon-ro, Itaewon 1(il)-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Please do not ask me what all of the above address means. Well I can, like you can, make an educated guess.

179 Itaewon-ro .. The actual street address.

Itaewon 1(il)-dong .. The Itaewon District 

Yongsan-gu .. You've got me on this

Seoul .. The name of the city that the Hamilton Hotel is located in.

The Hamilton Hotel Seoul, to coin-a-phrase, is one enormous 'landmark'.

The front desk, check in counter.

In the below photo, we have walked into the Bar and Grill located off the main lobby and are looking back at the front desk check-in area.

The Bar and Grill.

The time has come to go up to our room.

"God." 

"Yes My Little Captain?"

"Pinch me God! I must be dreaming all of this."
