Last full day in Seoul today. I didn't have much planned really, so I ended up at Changdeokgung sort of by accident.
Well it was another Korean palace -- plenty of photo opportunities and also plenty of camera toting tourists (me included).
It was quite noticeable today that the number of Japanese tourists has increased markedly since earlier in week. I guess this is the equivalent of people in the UK popping over to somewhere in Europe for a long weekend.
When I had lunch I was sat next to a couple of girls who I think were from Hong Kong (they were definitely speaking Cantonese). Anyway when they asked for the bill they used English (they also asked me to take a photo of them in pretty good English). I was quite amused by this as you sort of assume that there is a degree of commonality amongst the Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Obviously not! But then English, French and German are all different.
