We came in the middle of lunch, so didn’t meet anyone, but I was still there. We packed everything, checked out and left for Gangnam where we went to WSP’s office building. It has now been 45 hours since I woke up in Seoul yesterday.
There were more probably, but I am getting pretty tired now and must have forgotten tons of them. Not that I’ve ever been there, but I can’t imagine it being bigger than this!Īnyway, that were just a few of the thoughts I had during this week.
If Metro 2033 (by Dmitri Glukhovsky) happened, then I think the Seoul metro system would be better to be stuck in instead of Moscows. It was like there were underground cities under the real deal.
I would not be surprised if it was almost as much space used under ground as above ground in that city. But I can’t really understand how big those places were! Shopping centers connecting with the metro stations. It would be very interesting to see exactly how big the metro stations were on a regular map. When the washing machine is done, a tune plays. Something that I wondered for a long time was, where all the kids were? Doesn’t there live any kids in Seoul? We barely saw any!ĭid you know that South Koreans use tunes for everything? When a metro train is incoming, a tune plays (most metro stations have different tunes). Does everyone seriously carry around their garbage until they find a trash can half a kilometer away? What really boggles my mind is how that can be so? How can a city be so clean when there are no trash cans? There were, of course, but very very few. All the public bathrooms were as fresh as anyone could imagine a public restroom to be (and all were free). Stressful people, a city that was alive like nothing I have ever seen. It has been an incredible week with lots of new food, amazing colors, and basically everything was different. It is like last week was a dream beacuse as soon as we were in the car back home, everything was normal again, not extraordinarily cool and exotic and time had just flown by.

'Portable Native' is a work in progress, you speak in one language and it comes out what ever language you would like it translated into…cannot wait for that one.Īfter a great tour of all the new products I was interviewed by the bloggers and even received this colorful illustration of me in springtime. There are so many new products since my last visit to D'LIGHT in October that I cannot list them all. The new lighter weight NX10 with changable lens solar rechargable phones All this time I thought that was a special system that was used when making the actual films. I saw the 3D screens and learned something new, they can make any film into 3D.
Internet TV and your computer on a huge projection screen. It was designed by an Italian accessory designer and well, you can see for yourself, it's pretty amazing. I don't usually talk about refrigerators, but this one really impressed me. Getting beyond my own images, I was given a tour of the new products. The portraits were taken by Miguel Villalobos. Imagine how touched I was to enter the SAMSUNG D'Light building in Seoul this afternoon and have a wall of my own image greeting me.Īnd a warm welcome written on the floor.
