Seoul reborn as a high tech metropolis

GANGNAM style, for me, is something I wind up experiencing by accident.

Freshly arrived in Seoul-Inchon Airport and booked into a hotel beside the older Lotte Seoul Hotel drop- off point, I board the airport bus. I am too jet-lagged to entertain the possibility of a metropolis of 10 million having more than one Lotte Hotel.

Thus I wind up near Lotte World, conceived as the Korean answer to Disneyland, a place where Larry and Lotte stand in for Mickey and Minnie.
