Scrum you're not there for the HSBC golf tourney are you?

No bro.. but I have seen billboards with Tiger all over town and even in the airport as we were walking through to immigration. Looks like he is still as popular as ever....

The Maglev train was awesome. 430km/hr was crazy... but it was so smooth you could barely feel it. It was like flying in an airplane...

That is kind of bad-assery I see more and more of in Asia and less in the western countries. It's almost as though we have lost our nerve. It's the kind of shit we used to do in America all the time - it doesn't matter if it makes any sense to build - just the fact that it can be done is reason enough to do it.

We need a swift kick in the pants here in the US. I can't believe this kind of stuff is happening elsewhere. We need to quit wasting our money blowing shit up in the Middle East and use the money to build stuff here. No reason why we shouldn't have the best damn engineering wonders in the world right here - we used to and we are now getting outbuilt one by one. If I was President, I'd set this country straight.

Agreed!

Great pics too!

Nice sightseeing pics. Agree with what you said about infrastructure projects and such; got a buddy teaching in Seoul right now and he said the same thing regarding public transportation and the vastly superior speed of their wireless networks.

What's the nightlife like? The local girls? Tell us the stuff that's really important bro.

Ridic looking photos. Train looks unique
