What changes am I going to notice in Korea considerning I was there four years ago?

Any input?

Where I am now in Thailand I've the town I live in change immensely over four years with super markets muliplexes and a shed load more cars on the road.

Any idea on what differences I'm going to see in the big K then?

Things don't change that fast here. K-folk are a pretty conservative lot, if you ask me. Girls are having it off at a younger age though, I've noticed... Very Happy

I'm actually really interested in seeing if there has been any changes that are noticable from my point of view.

Or has it reached a plateau in development.

The subway goes from Suwon all the way down to Cheonan now, the KTX is running too, Daejeon and Gwangju have their own subway systems, the paper money's all new and so are the 10 won coins, subway prices are up, taxi prices are up, space centre is just about finished construction, two Koreans are in Russia training to go to space next year, anti-Japanese sentiment feels at an all-time low.
