Just arrived in Korea

Arrived in Korea last night, was a bit nippy, 4c outside, didnt feel much different from a typical Cape Town winters day. First thing i noticed as I was traveling from the airport to the hotel was all the smart black cars, they all look like mercs and limos with black tinted windows but they all Kias or Hyundais. We drove past the longest bridge I have ever seen, its 21km long and connects Incheon International Airport to Songdo International City. I hope I get the chance to travel on it. I stayed in a small town outside the airport. Its built very vertically and has shops and restaurants everywhere. There must be like 10 restaurants just in the small block where the hotel was. It reminded me of Hong Kong. The hotel itself was really nice. They upgraded my room, so I got a nice spa bath, one of those toilets that looks more like a robot. It had a heated seat and instead of toilet paper spays a heated stream of water from below. Its got a million other buttons that I have no idea about, wasn't going to test them out since I have been waiting to use a clean toilet since i left Cape Town. I watched a bit of TV, but they had so many channels and not much I could understand so I ended up watching the Games channel, some match-up of Starcraft being played, Terran vs Zerg. I might be a nerd in South Africa but here im just an average joe. I had a walk outside and despite all the restaurants and the great smell of grilled meats emanating from them, i settled on the hotel restaurant where the menu was in English, one thing is for sure though, im not going to starve in Korea. I had a nice long sleep and woke up in the morning, opened up the curtains and noticed everything was covered with a light coat of snow. It was still snowing outside so I went for my first walk in snow since I was a kid. I felt so excited, I suppose just like i did when I first saw snow as a kid.
