My Reflections:
Having been on many overseas trips to various countries in the world, I have to say that Seoul was really among my top destinations to visit.
The shopping here was awesome as the clothes were cheap but the quality was good! A top can cost as low as 5,000 won and skirts at 15,000 won.
Koreans don't shy away from colour, not even the senior citizens. They would gladly wear bright colours if they liked it. I totally loved all the colours! =)
As for food, Koreans really like spicy food so if you can't, it's better not to order anything spicy. Most Koreans also don't speak English very well so remember to include the Korean words of the places you are visiting so that you can show it to the cab drivers to read otherwise they may have no idea what you are talking about. However, if you speak slowly and gesture a lot, you can still communicate relatively well =)
We also observed that they are very good at making things more efficient and convenient. Luggage belts on stairs, inclined escalators and many travellators. The subway system here is also very convenient so you will find no problem finding your way around the city.
We loved Seoul so much we really didn't want to come back! We'll definitely be back again! =)
