Day 28 - Friday, 24 April 2026

The final tombs

Seolleung and Jeongneung royal tombs

Still time to go and see some more mounds of grass containing K-drama stars.
The Seolleung tombs were nearby, and would take the right amount of time to visit before I had to board a couple of slow trains to the airport. It was however hot.
I have been to these tombs before, it is very popular for businessmen to go to at lunch and walk around with their secretaries, which seem to still be a thing in Korea. Probably while telling them what a great job they have done sending faxes and making coffee etc. after buying them a bubble tea. It looks weird in this day and age.

Fortunately, when I got back to my hotel to collect my bag, they had 'dressing rooms' behind reception. This allowed me to swap my sweaty clothes for non sweaty clothes onto my sweaty body. The dressing rooms provide a lot of equipment for girls to be sewn into dresses, they have a lot of wedding ceremonies in the hotel it seems.

Anyway, then it was time to head to the airport, and I will not be early like I normally am.

Korea yet again for the 7th time - March and April 2026 - If having a cybertruck was not stupid enough already, how about a pink one? At least the silly shape makes it easy to apply the cheap pink vinyl.
