TQ to a korean boy

For this korea trip,
1=i went alone
2=no people come to fetch me from airport
3=i don know to speak korea and they dont speak english
4=SARS is near! (in year 2003)

1+2+3+4 = a extremely excited trip.
When i arrive at Inchion airport. Their poeple is so helpful and bring me to the bus stop when i show them the map. Later, bus driver help me to take my "big" luggage on to bus, help me to put in money.So, i find no problem at all until i go down from the bus.

SHit, where is the hotel (as i suppose to walk some distance from bus stop) . The map i have is totally different from the actual location. During this time, an angle come out *ding...hahah actually is a korean boy, i think he almost same age with me.
he : "*4#%^&" (in korean)
me: "sorry i m not korean"
he:" help me... take... photo"
IC, guess he is a student, he ask me to take 2 card board for him and let him take the picture of the cupboard.
Done..
he:"thank..you"
me: "do u know how to go this hotel" (bit snake follow the stick up)
Then, he bring me walk and walk and ask ppl until in front of the hotel.
Oh! thank you so much.
he:"u..here..do what?"
me:"company seminar"
he:"monday ...tuesday...wednesday...u free... wednesday?" (today is tuesday)
me:"sorry but my schedule is full except today"
he:"ok..."
me:"ok...bye bye, tq"

and he walk away and i forget to ask him to take a picture with me. (please note that i still using a very lousy manual camera that time!)

as the conclusion?! i forget that korea enter world cup...heheh

Palace

Korea Ancient Palace-doesn't it look like Forbidden City in China?

This is the korea ancient palace. During my visit, i found that most of the door is much more smaller for an adult to go through.
I ask my companien, "iziit last time korea people very short?" (such a stupid question)
He reply:" No, it was becuase those door are for servent to go through, they need to bow when going through this door and only emporer can walk straight through main door"
Me :"...." (what the law is this).
