In Thailand there are always women looking at you and staring you down, they just keep looking and looking till you look away. In Korea I did not find any staring, all the women tended to look away. I got a boost to my fragile male ego thou on the last day on a bus ride to Seoul. A 27ish pretty Korean women stared at me once when I was sitting in the bus, a second time when I got back on the bus after a 15 minute break, and a 3rd time in a stare down where I shyly looked away first. It all means nothing, I am not looking to chase women but it is still always nice to be noticed by the opposite sex especially when your heading into old age as I am, 47!
