Annyeong Korea!> Travels

Thank you Arrested Development. Having an adopted South Korean child as a character that is mistakenly called Annyeong (hello) has seared that word into to my foreign language deficient skull. So my first impressions of Korea:
These people really like to hike.
I have seen lots of couples wearing identical shirts.
It would be lonely to be single here. Many of the meals can only be ordered for two or more people.
Korean food is spicy.
They smell like cabbage. (They also have small hands. Perhaps they are descended from Carnies?)Even though they are pretty much a first world nation, in comparison to Japan, there is a very big difference in the cleanliness, modernity and wealth in Korea from what I have seen so far.
The woman here are not nearly as attractive as the Japanese.
The Korean temples are much older and less attractive than the Japanese temples (remember attractive is subjective).
Which may be a result of the Japanese pretty much destroying everything in this country at some point (1590's and 20th century).
Which makes me think they must hate the Japanese.
Ok, so they don't smell like cabbage.
