Do rainbow

A few days in to Korea and there's not a great deal to tell as aside from the few cities visited (and none of which I can recall the names of as I find Korean names hopeless to remember) my time here has been concentrated on a great deal of socialising and drinking Korean beer.

I'm gradually starting to get a feel for the country which I think does have its own identity, however it's rather a matter of working through the surface image of highrises to see what lies beneath.

Although Engrish t-shirts aren't as thick on the ground as in Japan (and I'm unsure of what the name of the Korean equivalent should be) there's still a good deal of humorous English to be enjoyed. One t-shirt spotted yesterday read "I eat marathons. 3. Breakfast". A music channel I saw albeit silenced in a bar featured a Korean song with English lyrics displayed, which included memorable vocals such as "my music's like Jesus do" and "do rainbow". I've been practicing my rainbow doing ever since.

The smaller Korean cities didn't seem terribly exciting or noteworthy from what I saw of them but Seoul in constrast is definitely where it's at. It's not home to the sorts of extremes you might find in Tokyo but there's certainly a buzz going on, and I'll try to get a better feel for the city in the next few days.
