Seoul, after another 20 years.

Photo 1: it's been almost 20 years their airport bus still hasn't changed.  When this city claims to be a tech. and design eccentric, some basic things like this kind of basic infrastructure told another story.  
Photo 2/3: many local brands but not appealing at all.  Boring fashion for men wearing long sleeves (even it's 35 degree celsius) and shorts with sport shoes and a square back pack, and girls wearing loose layers clothes.  One thing wasn't changed - pushing and talking loud.
Photo 5: Litter bins - hope they can have some better looking ones.

Please excuse them Sea. They spent all their energy and resources on Samsung and LG products so no time to catch up other stuffs.

Whatever shown here is very different from those I seen on TV with the handsome Oppa and pretty girls.

Loud and pushy part is consistent though.

Reality vs drama.

It is so deceiving....

Doesn't matter, as when my colleague said to me "if someone doesn't do any plastic surgery, he/she would feel like not being in the city...". Interesting part is that I don't even see a nice looking person when it's claimed that more than 80% of the locals have plastic surgery.

Har after they spent money on plastic surgery/cosmetic work you still not recognized them? This really wasted their big effort. Good that I did not do it yet LOL.....

I think Your standard is too high due to your job since you see lots of good looking people. Please lower your standard a bit thanks.

My Korean customer told me the same too.
Plastic surgery is common and usually this is the birthday gifts for girls on their 18th birthdays.

I think it's the different judgement of good looking. The local standard may be "thin eyes", "small cherry mouth" and all the time a "bitter look"....

After all, those Korean TV dramas are often over-exposed so that it's hard to see some "true" color of the face.
