Very nice, I agree—I spent 5 weeks in Japan vs only a few days in Seoul or Korea, and Japan has infinitely more that’s culturally interesting and special to me—and yet I still experienced far more warmth, and a certain intrinsic drive and hunger from Koreans in a few days than I ever felt from cold and largely alienating Japan. Very different feeling.

Thank you Nick. Japan gets “warmer” as you move further from Tokyo, but Korean appeal is different for sure!
Yeah—liked Osaka much better than Tokyo.
