    As you can see from this murky sunrise, but there's quite a lot of air pollution in Seoul. Most days the near distance is obscured by a haze which ranges in colour from white to dirty grey. Probably not the best place to go if you have respirtory problems.

    Prostitution is still somewhat common in Korea. Recently, the US has cracked down on Americans involved with prostitution, and the penalties are stiff for those caught. Otherwise, policies seem lax, as far as the Korean goverment is concerned. In Itaewon, if you take a left off of the road where Club X/O is located onto the street that leads to Polly's Kettle, there are some decent clubs, but some promote prostitution. This upward sloping road (as well as several others) are known as "Hooker Hill." I am unaware of whether these are Korean girls who are just making easy, albeit dangerous, money, or victims of human trafficking; however, be aware that it is there, and that the penalties for Americans are stiff. From what I understand, many of the clubs just attempt to get an unsuspecting dolt to buy the girls many drinks, charging them something like W10,000 per cheap soju-with-watermelon-flavor-style drinks, for their conversation alone.

    Spent the night strolling with friends downtown and ended up in a karaoke house. I went to use the bathroom and it was a squat type like the Japanese toilet, but with a weird toilet flush and it took me a while to figure it out.
