Hey,

what's up guys? I'm leaving for Seoul on Monday. And if things go as planned I'm also staying two nights in Dunhuang, China (desert region unfortunately, but hey).

I know I haven't posted the promised pics from Italy, but will do so as soon as I get back from the Far East, along with pics from this trip. Coming back on the 19th hopefully.

Best,

Hussain

Thanks everybody. My trip is far too short. I definitely have to go back for a little tourism.

Anyway, it's gonna be good to see something new.

No I already have one of those...

I'm back. Didn't make it to China, but Seoul was a blast. I only had one weekend to have a look around the sightseeings, but what I saw from driving from office to office was still amazing.

The 7/11-guy right next to my hotel.

Korean muslims...

For grim.

Korean high school girls (about 12 - 14 years old) playing "House of the Dead 4" and enjoying it.

A whole floor with "Hello Kitty" merchandise in a huge mall.

They even sell Hello Kitty lingerie...

Me in front of Jackie's kitchen.

That's cool LD

I thought Hello Kitty only did stationery?

No way dude...
In Hong Kong, Hello Kitty is everywhere, from stationary to toys to mugs to tshirts to underwear to happy meals to videogames to jewelry etc etc.

I bought my girl a silver/gold/white-gold Hello Kitty necklace when we were in HK

LD: cool pics. Too bad you didnt have more time to check out the sights more, or go to China.

Now where's my present!?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Sep 2007, 13:48

Hello Kitty looks like Miffy (except she's a cat not a rabbit) from those books I had as a wee kid

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 21 Sep 2007, 13:53

Yeah... I guess Dick Bruna just ripped off Hello Kitty... or vice versa.

I'm not sure if I had those books. I believe we had, but not sure if they were for me, or my lil sister.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Sep 2007, 13:54

Yeah, I'm not sure which came first..

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 21 Sep 2007, 14:01

Obviously, we COULD go to wikipedia and look it up... but that just seems like too much effort...
