Work Vist to South Korea - A Funny Story to Share

I had been assigned to visit one company in South Korea to study the possibility of collaboration. The company is located in Daejeon (3 hours time from Incheon Airport). Almost all the nearby hotels were fully booked for academic conference. At last, we need to stay in one of the expensive mortel like hotel in Yuseong-gu, called Tomato Hotel. A really funny name !!! I have long been heard from my Korean friend, Jin-Ho that Korea is a vey "open" society compared to Malaysia. Playboys or others porn megazines are easily accessable there. Oppss, should be called Playgirls since visiting the 7-11 shop in the area where my friend, Poh Kit studied.

I was quite suprised that the Hotel was fully equipped with all the necessities for One-Night stand. Oopppss... so, we were actually staying in the Red-Light area in Yuseong-gu. Anyway, I have to make my point here. I went there for technical discussion, not on other purposes. During the Friday night, I went to visit my friend, Poh Kit in ICU where he is doing his PhD. Thinking to ask PK to meet me at my place. But he has no transportation. Anyway, we met up at last after struggling to communicate with the taxi driver. The only way I did was showing the address to him.

After meeting with Poh Kit, we ended up to have a 2000 CC of Heite (Local Brand) beer in the nearby Bar. When it was time to get back to my hotel, Poh Kit showed his colleague a piece of word pad which I took out from my hotel (just beside the telephone in the hotel) . So, his colleague seems very reluctant to make a phone call for a taxi. He kept saying "there is no address in the word pad". So I asked him to make a call and asked for the address. But he said that this is for Massage Service and they can fetch you from anywhere you want. Shhiiitttt.......

Lucky for me, if I showed this to the taxi driver, I do not know where I am going to end up with.
