First Day in "SEOUL(SAA'OL)"

WELCOME TO SUWON
Yes guys, I am in Suwon South Korea and today begins the long journey of three months. I would like every "non Samsung" friend of mine to watch South Korea vicariously through me because
1) It is not a tourist spot where you will ever want to come leaving so many better places on earth.
2) Samsung is the only company to give a chance to see this wonderful archipelago right now enveloped in a blanket of snow.
Well to start with,
ASIANA AIRLINES AND THE "BAKSHAN"
hahaha... this is for those who know the meaning of bakshans and for others kindly guess, these are a typical class of posh Indian Society.
These Asiana guys showed me a tough time dealing with the extra luggage .I have to shed some extra pound of my luggage at the airport, a real painful job I must say and that too twice... eeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee .
Because of this initial tussle I have to sit apart from my team and this is how I got seated besides a Bakshan. She was not leaving a single moment of flaunting her wealth and frequency of her international travel. For eg"OOO ji HUMARA BETA TOH AUDI CHALA RAHA THA EK DIN POLICE NE PAKAD LIYA TOH MERE HUSBAND NE APNE HI KAMRE SE , (BREAK OF DISCUSSION), HUMARA NAA CHAR STOREY KA GHAR HAI AUR HUM UPAR WALE PE REHTE HAI,HAAN TOH INHONE DEKHA KI PAKAD LIYA HAI, TOH FIR HUM GAYE AUR REQUEST KARI AUR CHUDWAYA." and "MEIN BACHPAN SE HI APNI BETI KO BOLTI THI KI ITNE MAHANGI MAHANGI CHEZEEIN NAA KAHRIDA KAR KABHI BHI CREDIT CARD USEE KARNE SE PEHLE NAHIN SOCHTI HAI WOH AND SHE IS SO VERY RICH.........."and the saga of ostentatious display of wealth continued for one or two hours in the start and then in the end..... hahaha
coming to the services
1) Food was ok types
2) Drinks were free (Sounds so "down-market".But sorry guys first international trip hehhehe)
3) Air-hostess were so typical chinkis ( :( .Well they gave me a trailer of the movie as they knew english. :P)
well most of the time I slept in flight (motion sickness :( ).

SEOUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

After 4 hrs of slumber and 4hrs of listening to the richie riches stories we reached SEOUL(pronounced "SAA'OL") International Airort
Well "Gamsha Ammeen Ida" is the first korean word which I learnt, as goes the expression of air-hostesses I guessed it must mean "Good bye". Well, later I came to know that it meant "Thank You".
Well now here was the real movie, the trailer of which I have seen in the flight.

First thing I noticed about them are they are soo damn white. It is like someone has deliberatly covered them with a paste of milk and forget to peel it off later.. even the non fairer sex is so fair that fairer part of the other countries will hide there face in guilt.....
Well to sum it off I would say a litle photoshop editing is required of their nose and eyes and they can put any Indian men on fire with there lissome and swelte figure and such a fair colour.....
After that we crossed INCHEON bridge and reached SUWON-THE SAMSUNG CITY. First thing i discovered here is Samsung makes auomobiles too :P .
Yes guys yes, this may come to many including me as shock but here Samsung has tried its hand on every spheres of business, from road construction to electronics...from automobile to house buildings.. everything.
After that we were made to stay in a motel which is saving us from the damn chilling weather outside. It is -2 degrees. and this is the highest in last two weeks.
Well motel guys received us all with open arms and yes some of them knew hindi even. Then they handed us the keys with some envelop sort of thing saying it has toothbrush and STUFF ... Well I didn't knew what that stuff meant but after launching into the room and opening it I knew what exactly he meant by STUFF .Well it contained a pair of "Condoms".

The most painful thing you can think of here is calling your parents with a calling card. On one side there is blazing impatience inside you to call them of your safe arrival and other side these monolithic codes which can easily make your finger tips ache. Well but in the end the blazing desire to call them wins and a talk to them pacifies every pain of the body.

Well this is the most vivid descriptions I can think of ... will keep updating.
