SEOUL in Mid 1970.
Seoul city in the mid 1975 was much more develop than Kuala Lumpur. There are not branded car manufacturers like now such as Hyundai, Kia etc exporting cars worldwide some car model selling well.
There isn't much to offer in term of sightseeing attractions only those ancient temple and emperor palaces but a well know Walker Casino where as Malaysia only casino Highland maybe starting to built a small narrow road up to the top. The cultural show was very good at Walker Hill casino where tourists all went to see plus dinner.
Seoul city was a new popular place for the men from Malaysia and Singapore to seek sex it was so cheap at USD 30 per night. However by 1988 the price shot up to USD 500 per one time it is beyond the reach of men from Malaysia. All this due to Korea already become a wealthy nation and no more a poor nation in the 1970-80. It export practically every things like the Japan, cars, electric products, machinery etc to the world.
However the tourism also totally changes with many new attractions inclduign opening more and develope tourism sightseeing places plus theme park etc.
Every year since my first trip in 1975 I visited Seoul and other cities Kwangju, Pusan, Ulsan upr 1987 one year before the 1988 Olympic Game. In 1987 there so many changes that I already admire how fast the city is growing and expanding. I will write my travel Korea base year to year basis there equally many excitng incidents to write about.Just watch out for my encounter in a barber shop for hair cut, the cowboy ginseng party house, the night l;ife at the famous Itaewon shopping street by day and night life as great and hot as Bangkok red light district.
