Seoul - This day concluded on a busy note with 3 appointments back to back. The temperature drop to zero maybe due to my warm Singapore persona. On a whole the meetings went well. We had lunch at a buffet restaurant - I have been there twice. Everytime, we visit this customer - we will go to this buffet restaurant. There were wide slections of korean food on the buffet spread for just 9,000Won person. According to Korean standards, this is considered cheap and I think it holds true to Singapore too. The one recognizable similiarity in my 3 visits is the number of elderly people - it is a like a old folks gathering from all walks of life.
Dinner was at a sushi restaurant - the waitress was able to speak Mandarin and she comes from China Hei Long Jiang province. The food is really good and fresh. In the past, tips were not the norm but my customer boss, were giving tips to the waitress and Chief Chef. This was a recognizable difference from the past - a western import.
It seems to follow the conventional understanding of the West that a good tip follows good service.
This is my travelogue around Asia Pacific meeting different people, tasting delicious food and visiting interesting places and I hope you like it too..
