i am sick. I mean, as in "i need medicine" sick. From the "obviously" departement comes the news that a 12 hour flight doesn't help much against sinusits. Wonderful medicine does, and maybe even antibiotics.
Anyway, due to sickness, my stay here in Seoul will be shorter than expected. Even though this city is overwhelming (so are the dreams it gives me), it just doesn't really feel good to not be able to see a doctor that understands your language.
Stuff like this happens, and of course, like my grandma would say, it reminds you of what's really important in life - health and stuff. I'm glad that it comes at a time when nothing really super important has to be done. Then again not that anything that i do is super important...
Anyway, Seoul is amazing (and this time, i use the word very carefully). The amount of people constantly present per square meter is astounding. I had the pleasure of searching for some electronic gadgets yesterday together with a friend (who's super insane and only stayed one day before he leaves again for boston...) and we barely made it out alive. I didn't have my camera with me that day though. But these pictures, taken this afternoon, should give you an idea.
Hotels should have windows. These air conditioned rooms make you sick all by themselves. Add to that water that you can smell the chlorine from and you get a very good starting point for regaining health.
But!
The breakfast is gorgeous! And if i wouldn't be slightly off, i would totally dig the korean food. I had some Kimchi yesterday and it was fantastic. Unfortunately though, my body is not capable of adjusting to the spices so fast, so my digestion was a bit...disoriented...
I feel like i'm on drugs. Must be the water or something. More pictures, as usual, on flickr.
