The quality of the shuttle service between downtown and the Inchon airport is

There isn't as many people with dyed hair in Seoul than in Japan or China.

Beijing:
My wife joined me in Beijing for my first week-end there. It was nice. On
Saturday we saw the Ming tombs and the Great Wall at Badaling. It was my third

On Saturday night we went out with a couple of friends of ours to have some Beijing duck. Good but fatty!
We saw an add for a guy selling "Bottle putrified water". Do you want to buy
that?
I had two days of fog. There is a lot to do to clean the air there before the
