Seoul

Seoul 06/05/2005 11:34 PM

I just arrived in Seoul for the World Editors Forum. I'm on a panel tomorrow to talk about blogging.

This is my first time in Seoul. It's amazing to me that I've never been here before. Korea is very close to Japan. I have had a great deal of interaction with Koreans and feel a fairly strong bond with Korea. The Akasaka district where my office is is primarily Korean getting much more excited about Korean Soccer victories than Japanese. My aunt is Korean and I believe that we have Korean ancestors on my mother's side of the family. For some reason, I grew up generally believing that Japan and Korea were quite friendly. I do know that there is some bad history and the extremists on both sides are unreasonable.

As recently as March, Korean protesters chopped off their fingers in a rally protesting Japanese claims over some disputed islands. Clearly this represents some strong anti-Japanese feelings. I have recently been interacting with my Chinese friends about their anti-Japan protests and am in the process of trying to develop some projects together with them to try to address some of the issues. I am eager to talk to my Korean friends to find out how strong the anti-Japanese sentiments are and what might be done to address them as well.

I've heard a lot about the highly connected, high tech Korea and have participated in a number of Japanese corporate meetings where executives were being briefed on how Korea is leading in so many ways these days. I have also heard that blogging is quite active, but in a very different style than the US and Japan. Heewon is organizing a bloggers dinner and I look forward to finding out more about the scene here.

Unfortunately, my GSM phones don't work here so I don't think I'll be able to moblog.

It's cold and foggy in Seoul - but I'm all jazzed to do our meeting today and nerd out with some serious nerds. I'm having the best hotel access experience of my life. It's so civilized.

My username is my room # and my password is my last name. The bandwidth is great, it started up flawlessly and it's something like $4 a day.

Boy do I wish all hotels were this civilized.

Here's a phalanx of troops - getting ready to head off the wheelchair folks.

The last time I saw something like this I think I made fun of it for some reason, but I'm going to 180 and say this Philips 755 "Scribble Phone" looks like it would be amusing for at least a few minutes. Its touchscreen lets you draw little messages with a stylus and send them out as images over MMS. Could you do this with any touchscreen PDA? Yes, probably. It's not about the functionality itself, really, just the integration of fun little software tricks into a phone that Just Work.

You can scribble on pictures you take with its integrated camera, too.

No announcements as to which carriers will have the phone nor how much it will cost. Look for it in the fall.
