guess what?!?! i'm on business trip again!!!

well, i'm not in las vegas, i'm not in hk, i'm not in vancouver...i am in seoul, south korea!!

this trip is turning out pretty good so far! not really extremely busy, but weird working hours though. the korean tradition revolves around food and "instant" coffee so much. even at 4.30 in the morning after a night shift, they still wanna do discussion over a hot meal before going back to sleep.

so far the thing that amazes me the most about seoul is the number of churches (Christian) in the city. every city block would have at least one church (that can sit ~100 people). every 3~5 city blocks would have a gigantic church building (ie, the size of a huge cathedral that sits 1000+). according to the locals, the Christian population is 40% of the country. buddhism is next in percentage follow by roman catholics. koreans are definitely very religious people!

from my hotel room i can see one of the gigantic churches!! i'll post the pictures later on in imagestation.

anyhow, our company is working with samsung for the train control stuff for the KRC bundang line. samsung is the largest company in korea by far. it accounts for 20+ % of the entire country's export. samsung does EVERYTHING in korea. if you can name it, they will have it!!

gotta jet now, hotel is 1 hour subway ride from the site office...ahhhhhh~~~ but then, it's a 5-star hotel so i can't complain too much about it! :p
