A Short Stop in South Korea

I flew out of Japan heading for Seoul on my way to Sydney. It was so foggy there that I couldn't see any of the countryside which was a bit dissapointing. I could tell a distinct difference between the Korean characters and the Japanese characters though. Korean has a much more circular flow to it while Japanese has a much more squared look. I don't know if it was actual or not but I thought I could tell the difference between the people too. As I got off the plane I thought I had gone through the same time hole that they went throught in Langoliers. There was no one there and all the shops were empty, I started to think I heard the roaring from afar too. That was until I went upstairs into the main part. It was swarmed with shops, mainly duty free shops. I guess I never realized what the whole duty free shop was about. I figured it was just cheaper than retail instead of being tax free. Then I saw the prices. The stuff was more expensive than anywhere in America. I thought it was incredibly stupid for people to buy it there. I guess the sound of "duty free" has a ring to it that makes it sound cheap. Anyway, four long hours there did nothing but bore me and finally, we left, heading for Sydney.
