Part of the reason from my extended absence was I had to go to Seoul, Korea to take care of a few things.
There are so many facets to the city that I hardly know where to start.
Instead of trying to pack a hugely edited potpourri of tidbits, I plan on sharing aspects of the culture and city in several posts to share with those of you who may be interested.
One aspect I found interesting myself was shopping in Seoul.
Seoul has always been a market town for hundreds of years and is the same today.
It has famous street markets but also has created a shopping niche that I have only seen in Tokyo.
Luxury shopping around the world in this postmodern age of globalization has become so universal.
If you enter a high end brand boutique anywhere around the world, it is the physical embodiment of CNN - you could be anywhere.
But in Seoul, they take luxury shopping to the next level.
A boutique doesn't suffice, they make stand alone buildings.
