8D Korea with Mt Sorak & Santa Village
感恩。
韩籍 张君涛先生 是 一位 令人 非常 赞叹 的 导游，实属难得。
温文尔雅 处处周到。给我们 科普 了 近乎 完整 的 韩国 历史。
24 乘 旅游 新巴 也舒服。
首尔 物价 与 新加坡 相近 无甚差距。
山外山 人外人 莫与高楼较高低
失之交臂！此行 暂无缘 探访 落成于 2016年12月的摩天大楼乐天世界大厦（Lotte World Tower），回来后看照片才发现，原来两夜首尔住宿就住在此处附近。
位于南韩首都首尔市乐天世界乐园附近，其建筑高555米、共123层，不仅是南韩第一、世界第五高的大楼，更成为首尔天际线的崭新地标。除了大型商场、酒店和办公楼层，乐天世界大厦还提供出售服务式住宅，成为专为上流精英阶层打造的顶级房产。 乐天世界大厦的透明地板观景臺观景台，是世界第三高的观景台。乐天世界大厦的1～6楼为大型商场，7～37楼和108～114楼为办公区（后者仅供出售），76～101楼为Signiel酒店，120～123楼则为公共观光区，只有40～71楼是可供出售的酒店式公寓Signiel Residences（由Signiel酒店管理）。
下一趟 若有 机缘，定然将访。
十年树木 百年树人
处处是 cctv。便利店 过 8.30 pm 便 启动 无人服务 经营模式。 自己 用 信用卡 刷卡 开门 进去，自己挑选产品之后 自己信用卡结账。 在 韩国，效率也高，逮着小偷小抢，便 立刻马上 上 电视 公告，羞呀！此招够损，但也凑效，劣习几乎绝迹。据导游叙述， 韩国偷窃非常少。 这两点 倒是 可取 之处。 我们家 在 这方面 还 蛮 落后。 今时今日 还有人 打枪 便利店。杀一儆百 也 无伤大雅。 建国 50 年， 教育制度 也许 该 是 时候 修一修了， 省得 还 费时费钱 过三审后 还 在 牢里 白养 惯犯。老刑部也该退休了。
国民教育
公共食阁 里头 也非常干净。
用完餐后，各自把桌子 抹干净 归还 餐具。
街道干净，非常少 看见 垃圾桶。
手上 捏张 纸张 东张西望 走了 老半天 路，到最后 还是 塞进包里 回 饭店再 丢。
打小 的 国民教育，都 把自己的垃圾 带回家。
打小 的 国民教育，都 把自己的垃圾 带回家。
忘了问导游，是否随手乱扔垃圾烟头 被 cctv 逮到 也 上上 电视？
公厕也干净，至今所用的 马桶盖 都有 自动喷水洒洗 功能，还有遥控式。
在老家 若安上 这个， 估计 没 三天 便 被 按坏 玩完了。
搞这个东西之前，国民脑袋 得 先 upgrade 一下。
饮食文化
烧烤 烧烤 还是 烧烤。
韩国饮食 无非 韩国烧烤店多为 总是 kim chi 高丽菜
愿教此生无憾事
排了日程，下一趟，便在雪山里头住上 2 - 3 星期 练习 滑雪，
