SEOUL and GINSENG Party.
Our CX/MAS airline tours second stop after Tokyo was to SEOUL again our party was put up in 5 str SEOUl Plaza hotel at the down town shopping area. next was the Lotte hotel and shopping mall wiht underground  shop and sub way train station that connect to other part of the city. There are plenty of shops selling everythings from foods, souvirnirs, soft toys, branded shoe Nike, Reebook and La Gear etc
At night we were taken to the famous WALKER HILL Casino for the dinner show and then transfer to a Ginseng house for the famous Ginseng party. This house was in the out skirt of the city with ncie garden and ancient Korea style design. We were all seated in a big room and then about more 20 Ginseng ladies come into our room. It is up to the guests to selct the lady that he wanted to be his companion for the Gparty.
I was not aware what it is about and did not do any selection but the old timer like Stanly Chen from Chan brother Travel select one lady for me that same lady in the picture.
The lady then sit beside the guest on the left side and Koean snacks were service about more than 20 variety of small dishes in small plates. For drinks there choices of soft, beer and Korean tea and the rice wine.
There was a band to play music and ladies will sing songs.
I just point out what dishes I wanted to try but I am say the taste etc quite difficulty to except the famous Kimchi fermented vegetables with garlic and chilli are quite different to our hot and spicy curry and I am say most of us only have a bite for each dishes. However I try a bite on all the dishes some a OK to me.
The party lasted 1 hour only as the season travel agentc eager to go back to hotel.
Next the veteran season old timer travel agent boss started to select their ginseng lady for the night by giving their room no and hotel name to the Mama san in charge of the ladies. I was the only one who did not select any lady but the veteran just select the one dancing with me and told me it is a must to give face to host CX/MAS. I was told the price was USD60 for the whole night.We all went back to the hotel by van and I went straight to my room and lock the door.as I only have USD 100 for the whole dutration of the tour and already spend USD 30 in Tokyo buying some small souvirnirs. 
It was about 45 minutes near mid night when there was knocking at my door but I pretend to sleep however about 10 minutes the Stanly Chan and another old timer knock hard at my room door and force me to open. They just push the lady into my room and told use it or still need to pay the USD60.
I just don't have the mood at all to make love with the nice ginseng lady who think I was sick. She use hot tower for my forehead and also message me etc.
However after an hour or so still could not sleep and think about the USD60 do it or don,t I still need to pay. I finally decided do it and then went to sleep. I wake up maybe after 2-3 hours looking at the beautiful Koren lady I said to myself why I am so stupid. One time also 60USD why do a few time?
So I ended doing more than 3 times.
The next morning at the coffee house for breadfast the veteran old timer call me the US sixty dollar Men.
The veteran knowing that i was a first time overseas and with only 10 left decided to pass the hat around and finally collected USD100 for me. To this day I am grateful to them for make my balance holidays in Seoul a happy one as I still have some pocket money for drinks snack etc while out for sightseeing.
