Travel Tip 24 - Free Donuts

When you are in Korea, and you are hungy, and you want a snack between meals.. Look no further than Krispy Kreme Doughnuts..





Here is the trick, and don't feel bad, all Koreans do it.

1) Line up in the queue.
2) Listen to them say (in Korean) Welcome to Krispy Kreme, please try a doughnut.
3) Take your doughnut.
4) Walk out, with your yummy, free doughnut..


Personally I liked Mr Donuts doughnuts in Japan more, but that is another story.

Travel Tip 23

If you are in a boat, there is only so much you can get away with as a westener.

Splashing a raft full of wet people, is not one of them ;)

This was on the Hantan River.한탄강

Haemi Town Fortress

While out, I went to Haemi. It was basically a town inside a wall to protect it's people from the Japanese pirates who plundered the area. Though now the inside is empty, they are digging around to see what artifacts they can find. So basically it is a wall, with recreations of buildings inside.

Front gate



The wall at the side.



My fav bit was the recreation of the toilet... Complete with the "oh no, don't come in, I am still in here" look.



Oh, and I caught this western guy trying out the old pit toilets, pity he forgot to lift the lid.. (the reason why you women should not complain about guys leaving the toilet seat up...)
