I am staying in Seoul this week. My family and I am walking around Myondon(明洞),NamDeMon(南大門), or Koukamon(光化門)where we stay at a hotel here. I think this big city looks like Tokyo and Kyoto. There are many skysclapers and Old buildings.

We are enjoying Korean foods. My weight is definitely increasing, hehe although I am keeping jogging in the morning even here.

I think many things here, but I will write about a bike situation first. Every road looks like those of Japan. They have a side walk which seems allow people to walk and ride a bike. The side walk seems to be similar to those of Japan. But there are a very few people to ride a bike compared to Japan.

I also noticed that there are many underground intersections for pedestrians, For example, we can't easily across a boulevard to get to the building across the road. We have to walk much more than Japan. I think so. That's why it also make it difficult to use a bike.

I feel a bit weird the road is very similar to those of Japan, but a very few people ride a bike. Well, I even write a bike entry while in summer vacation.
