Nice pics
What surprised me on a holiday? Japan.
After going to Korea several times prior I thought I would take a 3 day trip across their ditch to the land of the rising sun while visiting Korea.
I always assumed that the 2 countries would be quite similar.
Nope - Japan not similar at all (was based in Osaka).
* Public transport costly, confusing and inefficient,
* Chain smoking patrons in most restaurants and bars,
* Less variety of food,
* Train stations poorly signed,
* People hesitant to help tourists,
* General public more sombre / introverted / withdrawn.
I couldn't wait to get back to Seoul....
Haven't written off Japan entirely - would love to spend some time in Tokyo one day.
