这个行程只有女主角，没有男主角

Daniel Lee

韩国首尔，这是我不论是出差或旅游，去过最少次数的一个地方。

过去30年间，我去过的半个世界里，几乎没有一个地方是去过少于3次的。但是首尔，这还是我的第3次到这里，而前两次到这里，都是超过10年前。

这也是有史以来的第一次，我们的家庭旅游并不是一家四口，因为儿子没与我们随行，他选择与他的两个男同学到日本游玩两周。

昨天的行程就是在明洞步行街逛逛吃吃，悠闲的度过整个下午直到晚上。这里被誉为“女生的天堂”，美妆店（Olive Young等）、服饰店、免税店（乐天/新世界）扎堆。太太与女儿没走两步都会停留在某间商店，我就像是陪伴的随从，帮他们拿东西，并负责付钱。

看来我得最好准备，接下来的几天时间里，我都只是陪跑的。这次的行程，太太是第一女主角，女儿是第二女主角。这个行程只有女主角，没有男主角，甚至没有男配角。

不过，我始终乐在其中。。

Seoul, South Korea—this is the place I have visited the fewest times, be it for business or leisure.

Over the past 30 years, among half of the world I have traveled to, there is hardly a place I have visited fewer than 3 times. But Seoul, this is only my 3rd time here, and my previous 2 visits were over a decade ago.

This is also the first time ever that our family trip is not with all four of us, as my son chose not to join us. Instead, he went to Japan with two of his male classmates for a two-week trip.

Yesterday's itinerary was simply strolling along Myeongdong shopping street, eating & relaxing through the entire afternoon until evening. This area is known as "a woman's paradise," packed with beauty stores (like Olive Young), clothing shops, and duty-free malls (Lotte & Shinsegae). My wife & daughter could hardly walk a few steps without stopping at some stores, while I followed along like an attendant, carrying their purchases & handling the payments.

It seems I'd better brace myself, for the next few days, I'm just here to tag along. On this trip, my wife is the leading lady, and my daughter is the 2nd leading lady. This itinerary has only leading ladies, no leading man, and not even a supporting male role.

Still, I'm thoroughly enjoying every bit of it..
