Although Foster did go on tour to South Africa three years ago before his second stint at Watford, this is his first experience on tour with Man United in Asia.
Fans are camped outside the team hotel 24 hours a day. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was once pounced on by an autograph hunter when he merely put his head out of his room door on a similar tour a few years back.
And United's arrival in Seoul was even more frenzied given Park Ji-sung has joined up with his team-mates after an extended summer break.
"It is absolutely mad," admitted Foster.
"I missed the trip a couple of years ago but the lads came back and told me all about it. They camp outside the hotel, even when we go to training there are loads of people there. There are hundreds and the noise is unbelievable.
"We get mobbed at airports.
"It just shows you what a massive global brand Manchester United is.
"The other night we were playing the Malaysian national team in Malaysia yet the fans were cheering when we scored. You don't get that anywhere else."
